The Waterwaze community is made up of many equippers. Some regularly bring their gifts and authority, some come and go, and others are connected in various ways. However, the core support/leadership team consists of equippers who have a track record of faithfulness, humility, uncompromising dedication to God, and a lifestyle of learning about and unlocking the Kingdom of God in the earth.
Leadership Team
Harvey Woods
Harvey has often been called a Renaissance man. His knowledge and abilities in numerous fields along with his wisdom allow him to provide counsel and assistance everywhere and often. His DNA gift is teacher, but his heart and ways are pastoral. Although an engineer by training and an entrepreneur by marriage, he prefers to hang out in the arts. He is a painter and musician (sax). His heart is to build a community of artists that can make a living through art.
He serves as leadership to the body of Christ in various regional and national capacities.
Anna Osborne Walthall
Anna’s heart of mercy combined with the pastoral gift as well as the spirit of a prophet is a stream of balance, lovingkindness, and truth to the Waterwaze community. Always willing to facilitate healing, she provides prayer counseling and knowledge on health issues. Out of her own brokenness she has won the authority to joyfully help people escape the occult.
Anna is just plain creative! As a singer/musician with a degree in music, she leads the worship team into the complex place of both excellence and spirituality. Anna is our resident expert on Hebrew months using paintings to illustrate her deep insights into God’s timing. Her efforts allow the community to track together with God’s timing. Other art pieces capture God’s message and give us pause to ponder. (link to her art on this site)
Vivien Hibbert
Author, teacher, musician and worship leader, Vivien was born in New Zealand and began full time ministry in 1977. She has ministered in over 20 nations. It is her joy to serve the Body of Christ by calling them to deeper worship and intimacy with Him.
She teaches the worship reformation message with anointing and revelation and is a delight to hear. She plays numerous instruments integrating them into worship in unusual and strategic ways and teaches others how to do the same.
Vivien longs to see ALL nations, generations and denominations involved in a reformation of worship where God’s presence becomes the primary focus and purpose of Church gatherings.
Currently, she is a instructor of the online School of Worship at the Eagles international Training Institute in Dallas. Vivien's book, "Prophetic Worship," published in July of 1999, continues to be an excellent and insightful resource on worship. (insert link to Viv’s webpage)
Shon Comparin
Has a servant’s heart, willing and eager to help others with his manifold skills and understanding of technical matters. In a community of artists, it is impossible to make much progress without the support Shon contributes in audio and visual expertise. He can understand what we need, buy it, and make it work-correctly. His quick pace, belt of tiny tools, and discerning ear are a tremendous gift to Waterwaze and the Texarkana region as a whole.
He is a skilled musician, song writer, and producer of several CDs. He brings creativity, intensity, diversity, and energy to worship. Shon also has the heart of an evangelist to young and old as well as a profound concern for the welfare and safety of others.
Gwen Osborne
Gwen uses her PhD in Organizational Leadership to help the body of Christ transition into a new church model for the Kingdom Age. Her prophetic voice is heard on a national level through public speaking, leadership of several Christian organizations, and her book publications. She is a successful businessperson, builder and an avid entrepreneur. With an eye for design, Gwen can see the potential strengths, not only of businesses and buildings, but of people and organizations. Gwen is a colorist and beautifier of all things. (And beautifies all things.)
Terry Walthall
Terry is a great stabilizer and one who can fill many gaps. After a 35 year career in church work, Terry resigned from a conventional “pastors” position in order to make way for a new wineskin to emerge, a model for the Kingdom Age. Terry has been able to combine his desire to love and care for the traditional church with his expertise in the marketplace through selling commercial insurance to churches. Terry understands and has a heart for helping pastors with the challenges they face. He loves tennis more than any of that…and enjoys eating with his wife…but not really Mexican food.
