PASTORS

Rodney W Wicklund has been the pastor at Living Waters for the past 30 years. Pastor Wicklund was saved at the age of twelve at a Covenant Church Lake Beauty Bible Camp in Long Prairie Minnesota. At the age of 25 Pastor Rod had not lived out his salvation. He was sick 180/120 high blood pressure. It was at this time that he called upon the name of the Lord in a healing service and was healed of the sickness and filled with the Holy Spirit with the evidence of speaking in tongues. He began to attend Living Word Christian Center in Brooklyn Park Minnesota where he was later licensed and ordained as a pastor. His wife Linda is our worship leader.

Pastor Wicklund had a praying Grandmother Agnes Wicklund of Lund Wisconsin. Agnes was a woman of prayer and wrote many psalms. Pastor Wicklund attributes his current position to God answering the prayers of his Grandmother.

God also turned his hopeless financial situation around preserving and restoring his family.
