 Our Vision Statement
1. What is our vision for soundwater.net?
SOUNDWATER by its very name tells us to hear and see God. His voice is like the sound
of many waters. In contrast to so much that is in this present world system we want to emphasize
those things that lead to truth and beauty. Much of what we sing and write is prophetic in nature
as it points to the hidden things of God.
Rev 1:12-15
And I heard, as it were, the voice of a great multitude, as the sound of many
waters and as the sound of mighty thunderings, saying, "Alleluia! for the Lord
God Omnipotent reigns! Let us be glad and rejoice and give Him glory, for the
marriage of the Lamb has come, and His wife has made herself ready."
And to her it was granted to be arrayed in fine linen, clean and bright, for the
fine linen is the righteous acts of the saints. NKJV
2. What is the vision for theancientpath.com?
Originally God's people were called People of the way. This acknowledges that we are on a
journey. We must remind one another of the way, the truth and the life. We will use, art, music,
teachings, poetry, prophecy, stories, and whatever the Lord supplies to accomplish this goal.
On theancientpath.com you will find bible studies, teachings, scriptures, fiction,
nonfiction,
poetry, essays, books and many other writings.
Some of our books are now offered for purchase at WWW.LULU.COM.
To explore the journey of the soul as we walk the Ancient Path...
To sound the trumpet and prepare for His return...
Jer 6:16-17
. . the LORD says, "Stop right where you are! Look for the old, ancient way,
and walk in it. Travel its path, and you will find rest for your souls.
I set watchmen over you who said, 'Listen for the sound of the trumpet!'
3. Why is most of our music free to listen to?
1 Cor 9:18
What then is my reward? Just this: that in preaching the gospel I may offer
it free of charge.
NIV
Rev 22:17
The Spirit and the bride say, "Come." Let each one who hears them say, "Come."
Let the thirsty ones come--anyone who wants to. Let them come and drink
the water of life without charge. NLT
Isa 55:1
"Come, all you who are thirsty, come to the waters;
and you who have no money, come, buy and eat!
Come, buy wine and milk without money and without cost.
NIV
4. Why do we request money for our CDS?
It costs us money to produce Soundwater CDs and keep up our websites. We would like to
continue to provide free listening to you online. We would appreciate your purchasing some of
our music if you listen to it alot, or you could donate to our ministry.

6. Why do we keep at this?
God called us to proclaim truth and beauty. We are commissioned to use our gifts to bring the
truth of Jesus to the earth. Using media and the World Wide Web for a redemptive purpose is a
great opportunity to spread the good news. In this we sense His pleasure.
7. What is the difference between soundwater.net and theancientpath.com?
SOUNDWATER is devoted to multimedia productions...music, drama,
audio stories, video...
The ANCIENT PATH is set aside for things that are viewed and read. They
stand
on their own but they are interrelated.

ministry. You can buy our CDs. You can write to us at our sites and offer encouragement or suggestions.
