## **About the Living Water Baptist Mission**
The Living Water Baptist Mission believes that all the words of the Holy Bible are given by inspiration from God; that the Scriptures came not by the will of man, but men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost; this inspiration is the breath of God a life giving breath; with Word of God is the living Words.
Living Water Baptist Mission London is supporting 5 missions around the world. 1 Mission in the UAE Dubai, 1 in Japan, 1 in Milan/Italy, 1 in Myanmar and 1 in Kent/London.
