In this episode, Gary Johnson interviews CEO Mike Mantel of Living Water International. Learn how fresh water can literally change the world.
Mike Mason, CEO and chairman of TELSCO Industries, dba Weathermatic, and its subsidiaries, led Weathermatic to become the world leader in water conservation technology and labor automation. Telsco Industries' portfolio of companies includes Weathermatic, Unlimited Labor Solutions, SmartLink, and Water Engineering Services. Twenty-nine years ago, Mason took over a beleaguered Weathermatic and grew it into the industry icon it is today, setting new industry standards and becoming the undisputed leader in innovation technology and automated labor processes. Mason's background is replete in accomplishments in investment banking and high-stakes corporate turnarounds. His exceptionalism led him to work closely with The Hunt family of Dallas, TX, and the Cox and Rollins families of Atlanta, GA. He is accredited with successful turnarounds, mergers, capital raises and acquisitions including Anchor Crane and Hoist, Blockbuster Video, Alert - alarm monitoring, Blockbuster Video, Hartland Cable Television, and the introduction of Cox Cable into the fiberoptics world via PSO Metrolink of Dallas and Oklahoma. Today, Weathermatic large network of professional landscape contractors, comprised of well over half the Top 150 contractors in the country, many of which have reported a doubling of their profits by focusing on irrigation repair revenue through Weathermatic SmartLink Network. According to Malcolm Morris, former Chairman of Weathermatic “Weathermatic is poised to become one of the most valuable companies in the landscape industry in the next four years due to its innovative technology, rapid market growth, and state-of-the-art technology automating water management and labor for landscape contractors.” Most recently, Mason founded Unlimited Labor Solutions, a thriving immigration consulting company paving the way for legal immigration into the United States by converting H2B seasonal workers into permanent labor. Mason made it his mission, via Unlimited Labor, to utilize his extensive connections, resources, and business acumen to take the lead in addressing the labor crisis through coupling proven SmartLink automation with Unlimited Labor's immigration resources. Mason is currently the Chairman of Save Water Give Life Foundation and on the Board of Directors of Living Water International and served over two decades on the Board of Directors of Freedom Alliance. As an inspirational speaker, he frequently promotes servant leadership, conservative values, mentorship, and entrepreneurialism.
Thanks for tuning into today's unSeminary podcast. We're talking with Mike Mantel, the CEO of Living Water International. They are a faith-based global humanitarian organization that links arms with churches around the world to serve thirsty communities through access to safe drinking water, sanitation, and hygiene. What if the church of Jesus Christ could end […]
Today's conversation is with Lillian Mabonga, MBA, who is the straight talking Regional Grant Specialist in Africa. She works for Living Water International, the US faith based nonprofit that works in the field of "WASH". That's international development speak for programmes that work with communities in the areas of water, sanitation, and hygiene. Now, I first met Lillian when we were co-presenting a session at a virtual conference on fundraising across borders, during which she talked about her love of studying and collecting qualifications. Lillian was originally a civil engineer. She started her career in project management, working on a multibillion dollar project to upgrade the infrastructure of Kenya's main port. Now, she's currently adding a development Studies PhD to her MBA and many other qualifications. Her research is focused on COVID-19 vaccination uptake amongst pregnant women in Kenya. Now, Lillian has a wealth of experience in fundraising and delivering grant income, and this is blended with a strategic and project management mindset. She deeply understands the role of visibility and careful positioning that increases the likelihood of organizations like Living Water in Kenya and across Africa, of getting funded. Lillian always offers practical insight into how to build and deliver high quality, solidly funded programmes, and she always keeps it real about the tactics, the practical, real life tactics that organizations can use to be visible and successful in building these partnerships with global institutions. Today's conversation takes place during the recently imposed curfew following the political riots in Kenya, and Lilian talks about the challenges of managing donor visits of Burkina Faso, for example, after two recent military coups. These illustrate that political violence is another contextual challenge that fundraising organisations based in many countries in the global south and their donors that support them must navigate together, and the additional challenges this adds to donor visits and day to day programme delivery. In this episode we talked about Lilian's clear guidance that "random proposals rarely get funded" and "as a fundraiser, keep your word" and, when it comes to donor stewardship "do it right first time". The challenges of fundraising and learning from our mistakes Working with donors that are mission aligned The importance of understanding and considering the whole costs of programmes How working better and smarter with the types of donors you already work with rather than pushing to diversify to new types of donors Making it as easy as possible for donors to fund you and to ensure that they can continue funding you Resources and links mentioned in this episode: Living Water International https://www.linkedin.com/company/living-water-international/ Find Lilian on LinkedIn https://www.linkedin.com/in/lilian-mabonga-pmp%C2%AE-pmd-pro-mba-ma-b9579119/?originalSubdomain=ke I hope you've enjoyed listening to this episode of the Fundraising Radicals podcast and that this conversation has challenged, informed, and maybe even inspired you and your fundraising leadership practice.

In this episode, Jeff and Denny discuss: Narrowing your niche to stand out in your industry. All things work for God's purposes. Giving of yourself and your time. Preparing for transitions and focusing on encouragement. Key Takeaways: Do your actions support what you say your values are? There is a difference between a checklist and a relationship. You do not want to treat your family like they are just an item on your to do list. Your team needs your emotional support, not just your money. It is easier to ask for money or to fail than to change. But change is where you will find happiness and growth. "Don't just give your money. Give your time and your wisdom." — Denny McGuire About Denny McGuire: Dennis “Denny” McGuire, The Woodlands, TXEntrepreneur, Impact Investor, and MentorAfter a successful initial career with State Farm, Andersen Consulting (Accenture), and Andrews & Kurth, followed by a very humbling bankruptcy, Denny co-founded TPI, an outsourcing advisory firm serving global 1000 corporations. Starting with only the float on an American Express Card, for almost 20 years he led the firm's development of new service offerings, global expansion, and $170M+ revenue growth. In 2007, TPI was acquired and Denny expanded his focus with non-profits, impact investing, and mentoring. He is currently on the Boards of Child Legacy International, an organization working to redefine “Possible” in Malawi, Africa, and Panther Creek Inspiration Ranch, an organization partnering horses with people to transform lives. He has also served on the Boards of Star of Hope, Living Water International, HBU, and UMMEED a Mumbai, India-based organization serving children with developmental disabilities.Denny and his wife, Marty, have been married for 49 years. They live in The Woodlands, TX near their two daughters, seven granddaughters, and one grandson. Denny is a former Army officer and Vietnam veteran.

In this episode, Jeff and Denny discuss: How Denny's time in the military changed his life. The power of kindness through all hard things. Blessings of tithing and joy in generosity. Lessons in encouragement. Key Takeaways: Live life on the principle that everybody makes it to the top, whatever it takes, and nobody gets left behind. When all things have been exhausted, God will provide and take care of you if you have been faithful in your giving. God has unique messages for each of us and they are all given in His time. God allows things to happen in your life that will allow Him to use it for good to a greater level than you could do alone.

Listen to Mike Mantel , President & CEO of Living Water International on the Culture Eats Everything Podcast in conversation with Thomas Willis. Read more about Mike Mike Mantel : Dr. Michael J. Mantel has dedicated much of his life to mobilizing churches to bring water to the world's thirsty while sharing the love of Jesus Christ. As the president and CEO of Living Water International, a faith-based global humanitarian organization, Mike is a firm believer in the miracle of safe water, and in the biblical vision of the unity of the Body of Christ. Since 2008, Mike has led Living Water International through years of unprecedented growth by helping church communities around the world become more effective agents of gospel-driven change. Thirsting for Living Water is a response to the desire of many American churches to help their people find adventure and purpose in God's redemption story. Mike's 30 years of experience working with churches in the US and around the world offers a unique perspective on the global Church, as does his passion for helping church communities come alive through world-changing action. After earning a business degree from Calvin College in 1983 and a decade in business, Mike witnessed firsthand the impact of water when he visited impoverished rural communities in Senegal, West Africa, where his then-employer was sponsoring the drilling of wells. It was during this trip where Mike felt a divine invitation to help thirsty people access clean water—a catalyst for physical and spiritual change. Prior to joining Living Water International, Mike led various teams at World Vision, earned a PhD in Organizational Development from Benedictine University, enjoyed many years in business, and received the Distinguished Alumni Award from his alma mater Calvin College. Recently honored by the Houston Business Journal as a Most Admired CEO, Mike has authored, contributed to, or been featured in, articles in the Houston Business Journal, Houston Chronicle, USA Today, Chicago Tribune, Christianity Today, as well as other publications and a number of books. Mike serves as an elder at Grace Presbyterian Church. He, his wife Natalie, and their four daughters have traveled the world in service with others, and he cherishes the opportunity to invite others to make a difference at home, among near neighbors, and even to the ends of the earth. ______________________________ Mike Mantel LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/michaeljmantel/ Living Water International: https://water.cc/ _______________________________ Phoenix Performance Partners Website: https://www.phoenixperform.com/ Culture Eats Everything Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/culture-eats-everything/id1526731051 Culture Eats Everything Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/1utf9dZh2PRQKxe6qg5I5M Tom Willis: https://www.linkedin.com/in/thomasawillis/ Checkout our book: https://www.phoenixperform.com/book #CultureEatsEverything

12/10/19 – Jeff Chase – senior staff member for Living Water International, on their ministry to help communities in developing countries create sustainable water, sanitation and hygiene programs. The post Living Water International and their ministry to help communities in developing countries create sustainable water, sanitation and hygiene programs appeared first on Pilgrim Radio.
Paul Thomas Darilek joins the conversation and we talk about his upcoming book: The Butterflies in God’s Stomach. This episode’s discussion include Paul’s back story, understanding how we can integrate the love story into nature, and what it was like to be in the recent presence of Oscar Romero. We also discuss how the church is going through a transformation and with that, there is a need for works that speak to a similar idea, which includes diversity in the expression of God’s love, such as revealed in Paul’s upcoming works. Paul studied English Literature in college, then disappeared into the mountains of Central America. In a tiny rural Salvadoran village called Tierra Nueva, he farmed beans and started a Bible study group with his neighbors under the shade of a mango tree. Under that mango tree is where his lifelong fascination with the Bible’s love story began. Finding himself in that love story, and getting engaged, Paul went on the road as a storyteller, raised money, and trained a team of Salvadoran friends to start a non-profit ministry that partners with churches, schools, and clinics to help them provide safe drinking water in their communities. He went on to help Living Water International do the same around the world, then resigned to write full time as a freelancer and an aspiring artist aiming to help himself and others find ourselves in a love story, and get engaged. Paul lives in San Antonio, Texas with his wife and two kids.For more on Paul Thomas Darilek, please check out http://butterfliesbook.com/ and https://www.paulthomasauthor.com/about

We're so excited to share this conversation Craig recently had with our friend Alison from Living Water International. In addition to discussing some of the amazing work Living Water is doing around the world, Alison and Craig also got to talk about the challenges we all face in staying connected to God in our work, some of the difficulties of working in a faith-based organization, and how we can put our hands to the work that God has placed in our hearts. We pray that God uses this conversation to spark a deeper connection with him through the work that you're doing every day.

Michael Woolcock has been at the World Bank for 20 years, where he is the Lead Social Scientist in the Development Research Group. For twelve years he has also been a (part-time) Lecturer in Public Policy at Harvard University's Kennedy School of Government. As a sociologist, he's written about culture, social development, and social capital. Michael is also on the editorial board for Accord's new journal, Christian Relief, Development, and Advocacy (CRDA). Nathan Mallonee from Living Water International talks with Michael about how he got to the World Bank from Australia, his new book on building state capability, the case for using mixed methods for research, and ideas for papers he'd like to see submitted to the CRDA journal. Here is a link to Michael's new book, Building State Capability: https://global.oup.com/academic/product/building-state-capability-9780198747482?cc=us&lang=en& Here is a link to the call for papers for the CRDA journal: https://crdajournal.org/index.php/crda/announcement Michael's Book Recommendations: ‘Epic Wanderer: David Thompson and the Opening of the West', by D'Arcy Jenish. A biography of the life of first person to map the western coast of North America, from (what is now) Oregon through to British Columbia, and vast areas inland to Hudson Bay. His maps became the basis for where exactly the border was drawn between the US and Canada along the 49th parallel, and included being the first to traverse (and map) the full length of the Columbia River. Doing all this entailed surviving decades of unimaginably cold winters, crossing the Rocky Mountains on foot endless times, learning some of the languages of indigenous peoples, and doing all manner of complex negotiations – all without ever losing a man. ‘The Tyrannicide Brief: The Story of the Man Who Sent Charles I to the Scaffold', by Geoffrey Robertson. Incredible account of the first legal team to challenge the divine right of kings, in the 1640s, arguing that no-one was above the law -- when that notion had never before been tested on a head of state, in this case a king (Charles I) whose civil wars had led one in ten Englishmen to their deaths. The lead lawyer, John Cooke, undertook this task knowing full well that it would likely lead to his own death, which it duly did in the most gruesome manner… Makes a bad day for me seem like a stroll in the park… And the justly classic ‘The Hiding Place', by Corrie Ten Boom. “Give thanks in all things” takes on a whole new meaning after reading this book…

Fenton Moorhead served as Pastor for Sugar Creek from 1989 – 2001 and is returning this Sunday as a guest speaker. During their time here, the worship center was built and the West Campus buildings were purchased. The Moorheads led many mission trips to Kenya and were instrumental in the beginning of Living Water International, the Urban Camps, Second Mile, and the starting of many mission churches in the greater Houston area including River Pointe and Bethels’ Family.
Sermonettes delivered by Associate Pastor Nathan Coleman and Senior Pastor Byron Beck. These talks outline what being FOUND really means and what we need to lose to be found. This particular Sunday was centered around commissioning a team to El Salvador to work on a water well with Living Water International. Messages were on the topics of DENYING SELF, SURRENDER and SALVATION.

Senior Pastor Byron Beck delivers a sermon about living a life of giving. Are you a giver or a taker? Jesus is explicit about living a life of sacrifice. What are we doing to fulfill this calling to be just like Jesus? Based largely on Acts 20, this message sites a story about Fellowship giving to Living Water International to build a fresh water well for a village in Peru. For, it is more blessed to give than to receive.
