A Believer’s Heart  
     “Out of the believer’s heart shall flow streams of living water.”  
                                                                                                                                   John 7:38

          Camp Mowana is the site of Fleming Falls. Did you know that Alum Creek has its beginnings at Lutheran Memorial Camp?  Swimming pools and baptismal fonts are very much a part of LOMO Outreach.  Wonderful images of the cleansing, renewing, and life-giving waters of Holy Baptism abound in our camping ministries.        
          Jesus offered living water to a Samaritan woman.  “Let anyone who is thirsty come to me,” Jesus said. Quoting the scriptures, he continued, “Out of the believer’s heart shall flow streams of living water.”  We are recipients of living water and we can become sources of living water for others!  The newly named Living Water Society is constructed on this image.
          The Living Water Society includes many faithful stewards who have indicated that they have planned gifts for Lutheran Outdoor Ministries in Ohio or one of our camping ministries.  These good stewards in life have continued the pattern in their estate planning and the final disbursal of their assets.  Gifts are typically one of three kinds (though many more options are available): 

~ Bequests through a will - a specific amount or percentage of an estate earmarked for LOMO.

 ~ Charitable gift annuities that provide annual interest income to the donor with LOMO identified as the charitable remainder beneficiary.

     ~ Life insurance policies with LOMO identified as the beneficiary.

     ~ Property or real estate

            If you have included LOMO in your will or estate plan and have not notified us, we would love to hear from you and be able to include you in the Living Water Society.

            To find out more please email the development associate at devassoc@lomocamps.org.  You, too, can be a source of life-giving water – of refreshment and renewal – for a future generation of campers!
