The Story

Living Waters, founded by evangelist Ray Comfort, revolutionized Christian evangelism content by bringing street witnessing to YouTube. Comfort's approach—engaging strangers in thoughtful gospel conversations using his signature 'Way of the Master' method—created compelling content that entertained while educating believers in evangelism techniques. The channel's success stems from authentic, unscripted interactions captured during real evangelism outreach. Viewers tune in not just for theological content but for the human drama of watching Comfort navigate objections, answer tough questions, and guide conversations toward the gospel. This reality-TV aspect combined with genuine evangelistic passion created a unique content formula. By documenting street evangelism, Living Waters achieved multiple goals: training believers in witnessing techniques, reaching seekers with gospel messages, and generating revenue to fund ministry operations. With 923K subscribers and nearly 200M total views, the channel proves evangelistic content can thrive on YouTube when presented with authenticity and skill.

Every street conversation is a movie scene with eternal stakes. YouTube lets millions witness the power of simple gospel sharing.
