Additional information
by Cecil Cooper (Author), Diane Ball (As Told to)
This is the story of an ordinary man who willingly laid aside his life in obedience to God. He was special only in that he was willing to be a servant of the Most High God. I have seen through my years of walking with God that the Scripture, "There is a time to all seasons..." (see Ecclesiastes 3) is a truth also for the "seasons" of our lives. Our family seasoned at Springs of Living Water - it remains our Bethel - the place where we each began our walk with God, not just toward Him. The season of the Springs as we knew it is past, perhaps because its purpose had been to make people more aware of their need for God. However, the benefits to the thousands who were ministered to in this place by the "Family" will probably never be recorded. I would guess that we have only begun to see the miracles God did in the lives that passed through this place. Only time will tell their stories. Using ordinary people like you and me, God can accomplish His purposes. We only need to be available vessels. He will cause us to become vessels of honor as He did my father, Cecil Cooper. My dad is now with his precious Lord Jesus, worshipping and praising Him with the saints who have gone on before us. May Jesus increase your faith and glorify His Name in this account written by my father of the things our heavenly Father did in this child of eternity. Diane Ball
