River of Living Water

A Christian ministry program to support the healing of broken and wounded women.

Our Mission

Our Mission is to provide a location, program and opportunity for personal reflection for those needing either healing or discernment from the Lord.

Our purpose is to assist in breaking through the barriers which are preventing women from fulfilling the purpose for which the Lord has prepared for them.

Our location is on a beautiful 17 acre retreat center on Vancouver Island.

Our program will consist of an interactive Bible study and then an in depth book study.

Our approach takes into consideration the whole person; body, mind and spirit therefore regular and moderate exercise will be required such as hiking or walking.

Our down time will be enjoying related movies and fellowship.

Lil Brosowsky

Several years ago I developed the idea for “River of Living Water” ministry when, as a speaker for Christian women’s groups and later as a staff member at a woman’s addiction center, I discovered how very little time women take to seek their own healing and renewal. My name is Lil Brosowsky and I believe the Lord desires for us all to experience “abundant life in Christ” but for some this seems to be elusive. For others the problem is much deeper and more painful than that but life gets in the way of dealing with the real issue often with disastrous results. Time set aside exclusively for seeking either an answer to the mystery or healing of a known wound could be time well spent.

“Whoever drinks the water I give him will never thirst. Indeed, the water I give him will become in him a spring of water welling up to eternal life." John 4:14
