ABOUT
SINGING WATERS MINISTRIES
"Equipping
the People of God for the Healing of the Nations"
Located just outside
the town of Orangeville in Ontario, Canada, on 50 acres of beautiful
property miraculously provided by God, Singing Waters Ministries
has been serving the Church since 1956. Through the years,
the heart of the Ministry has remained focused on reaching out to
the people of God with healing and restoration.
Like this river that
has small beginnings
only a small trickle that swells to a
stream, that meets and combines with other streams of water, together
joining to become a mighty river flowing into the ocean... the
Nottawasaga River, which means "River of Outlet" in the
Iroquois language, has its headwaters near Orangeville and runs
through Singing Waters. From there it flows into Georgian
Bay, then into the Great Lakes, along the St. Lawrence River and
out into the Atlantic Ocean. We believe this is a prophetic
picture speaking into our corporate calling at Singing Waters -
to be an outlet for the healing power of God to the nations. This
is pictured by the prophet Ezekiel:
"Water was
trickling
he led me through the water, water reaching the ankles
Again he measured a thousand and led me through the water, water
reaching the knees. Again he measured
water reaching
the loins. Again he measured
and it was a river that
I could not ford
Then he brought me back to the bank
of the river
These waters go out toward the eastern
region
then they go toward the sea, being made to flow
into the sea, and the waters of the sea become fresh.
And it will come about that
every living creature which swarms in every place where the river
goes, will live. And there will be very many fish, for
these waters go there, and the others become fresh; so everything
will live where the river goes
And by the river on its
bank, on one side and on the other, will grow all kinds of trees
for food. Their leaves will not wither, and their fruit will
not fail. They will bear every month because their water flows
from the sanctuary, and their fruit will be for food and their leaves
for healing." (Ezekiel 47:1-12)
Canada's
flag is unique. It is the only flag in the world that bears
a leaf as its insignia. It has been spoken over Canada that
as a nation we are a people set apart by God to play an integral
part in bringing healing to the nations, or perhaps more clearly
stated, the people groups of the world. This is significant
for the ministry at Singing Waters, as our heart is to be like the
"river of outlet" which not only brings healing to individuals,
families, churches and nations, but also helps fulfill the prophetic
call of the nation of Canada.
