About
Hi there! Thanks soooooooooo much for stopping by our store!
I’m Anna "Banana." Me and my hubby Dale (see the picture above) have the great privilege of working with the Living Waters and The Way of the Master ministries. (Dale does the 3-D graphics for The Way of the Master television program, and I used to be the webmaster -- now a stay-at-home mom who still volunteers.)
Years ago Ray Comfort and Kirk Cameron, (who are the most wonderful bosses in the world!) were kind enough to let us to set up this store as to help supplement to our income with the ministry.
Since we have a minute to "talk"... and you're obviously still reading... ;-) you might want to know a little bit about us and how we got hooked up with the ministry.
Dale and I met and married in Bible College. I have a double major in Social Work, and Bible with a minor in Communications. Dale has a double major in Bible and Christian ministries.
After college I tried working in the social work field, but found that I just couldn’t stand the governmental regulations that prohibited me from talking to my clients about Christ. So I left the field and tried several different types of jobs before hitting on website design.
While surfing the internet one day I came across a site that said it had the most unique gospel tracts in the world. I thought, “Well, I’ll be the judge of that.” And I began to look. Well it turned out that they really were the most unique I had ever seen... but I thought, “Why haven’t I ever heard of this ‘Ray Comfort’ guy before? I’m not buying anything until I know what this ministry is all about.” So I started doing some research.
It turned out that this “Ray Comfort” guy was commended by Franklin Graham, Josh McDowell, and a bunch of other "top dogs" of the Christian community. So I looked a little further, and in doing so, I listened online to this ministry’s “MOST IMPORTANT” message called Hell’s Best Kept Secret. That was a HUGE turning point. It totally rocked my Christian world to its foundation. (It’s too in depth to go into here, so I hope you’ll actually listen for yourself... go to http://www.livingwaters.com/learn) Anyway, after listening I was sooooooooooo blown away that I immediately contacted the ministry and told them I’d like to do some volunteer website work for them. Dale listened and he was rocked too. What an amazing message! What an amazing ministry!
After I had been volunteering for the ministry for a little over a year, Kirk Cameron (from the Growing Pains television show, and the Left Behind movies) got a hold of a copy of “Hell’s Best Kept Secret.” When he heard the message, he reacted the same way I did... it totally changed his Christian walk. So, just as I had done, he was compelled to immediately contact the ministry. Kirk wanted to be a part of bringing this message to the world... so he talked to Ray and a short time later they began doing some ministry work together.
Not long after that, I was able to quit my regular job and go to work part time for Kirk working on his ministry website. Then after about two years with the ministry and about 8 months working directly for Kirk, the ministry decided to move Dale and I out here to Bellflower, California.
Dale quit his job and we began the move. We knew we couldn’t make it on my income with the ministry alone, so we were trusting God that He would provide a job for Dale when we got to California. And miracle of miracles... God provided him with a job right here at the ministry as well. Dale now works in the office right next to mine doing 3-D graphics for the television show... while I work on the various ministry websites. So today I’m doing my dream job – working for the ministry that is bringing this VITAL message to the modern day church.
We are so grateful to God for the opportunity to be here. Working for this ministry is more than a dream come true for both of us... it's an opportunity God has given us to be a part of getting the vital message of "Hell's Best Kept Secret" into the Churches. This message has the potential of starting a revival that could sweep across the entire world. Many of us today see how bad things are getting in the world and we think, “Boy, how much longer will the Lord put up with this? How long before he just comes and pours out another Sodom and Gomorrah on this place?” But what if there was a chance for a revival of true repentance to sweep across this nation... and the entire world? What if the pendulum could swing back the other direction one more time before the wrath of God is poured out? That’s what this message has the potential to do... and we are blessed beyond measure to be a small part of getting that message out.
So that’s the long and short of it. Here we are... doing the dream job of a lifetime (for a Christian anyway) and God has blessed us incredibly. We thank you so much for supporting us by purchasing something from our little store. If you have suggestions for things you’d like to see here, you can write to me at anna.banana@livingwaters.com.
God bless you as you seek to serve Him,
Anna Jackson (and Dale too, of course :o)
