How it all started...
Over two decades ago we had our beginnings in Northern Ireland. It was here, on the Emerald Isle, that Living Rivers was born, a testament to God’s work in our lives.
In 1999, as I pondered the direction of our emerging ministry, I sought divine clarity on what name would embody the work God was bringing to life. What began as an organic gathering in our home—a place for prayer, teaching, and fellowship—was expanding, even as my full-time role in the police force and Karen's nursing career were demanding more of our time.
Despite these changes, our commitment to helping others remained steadfast.

Expanding the vision...
God often speaks to us in the midst of our daily routines. One day, as I drove home from work, the Holy Spirit’s voice cut through the noise: “Living Rivers.” This name, inspired by Ezekiel 47:9, which describes life-giving rivers of awakening, perfectly captured the essence of our mission.
“Living Rivers” became more than just a name; it became our very essence, reflecting our dedication to bringing life and revival wherever we go.

Millennial Church
By 2012, we found ourselves in Tulsa, Oklahoma, following the Lord’s guidance. He instructed me to “Create a hub for My Spirit to move,” emphasizing that prayer was not to be an afterthought but a central thread woven throughout everything we did.
I remembered a profound prophecy from Sister Jeanne Wilkerson, known as the "Prophecy of the 50 States." In her vision, she spoke of the unique qualities of various states, including Oklahoma, and identified Tulsa as a pivotal “feeder station.”
The prophetic curtain had been lifted, revealing Tulsa’s future significance. According to Jeanne’s prophecy, under the Holy Spirit’s unction, Tulsa would rise as a key city during the Millennial Reign of Christ, thanks to the deep, sustained intercession of its people.
We spent many years in different locations but finally we found our present spot, 6355 E Skelly Drive and OUR WORK IN THE CITY, THE STATE, AND THE NATION HAD FOUND A HOME! The double rivers of Ezekiel 47:9 continue to flow.
