NAME: David “DK” Kimball
AGE: 36
OCCUPATION: “After 12 years in the real estate business, I left to serve full-time in Watermark’s Children’s Ministry. I’ve volunteered for many years at Young Life and at Watermark and found real joy in seeing life-change in the kids I serve.”
On Saturday, July 24, from 8 am – 1 pm, the Watermark family is partnering with Brother Bill’s Helping Hand to build intentional relationships and offer practical assistance to senior citizens in West Dallas. During “Operation Clean Sweep,” we will partner with Brother Bill’s and their neighbors by doing yard work and landscape projects for those in the greatest need. Our goal is to transform up to 75 yards that day, provide and eat lunch with the senior citizens served, and help make Christ’s name more famous.
Earlier this year, Dr. Christopher Berry joined medical professionals from Watermark and other churches on a relief trip to Haiti. This article reflects his experiences on the ground in Haiti in the days following the earthquake.
I lived much of my adult life acting like two different people: the person I had to be in my job as a pastor and the person I actually was. I was always taught to put my best foot forward and not talk about my struggles. But sometimes, what we’re taught isn’t what’s best for us. After years of living like two different men, it ended very badly. All I wanted was an escape.

Do you look at your neighborhood as a ministry opportunity or simply a place to live? The couples in one Richardson-area community group asked themselves that question several years ago and decided to take practical steps toward making a difference for Christ right where they live.
Peter loves our son, Ben, consistently as Christ loves. Because of their relationship, Ben is learning to love in the same way. Ben demonstrates his understanding of Christ’s love by how he’s learning to live and love others. And Peter has been a wonderful example of Christ’s love in Ben’s life. – Kelly Alvey (more…)
Delight yourself in the LORD and he will give you the desires of your heart. – Psalms 37:4
The stadium in Contonou, Benin in Africa is packed with people who traveled for days in search of medical care. People with tumors so large that they’re in danger of suffocation. Children with cleft palates. Adults left nearly blind after years of struggling with cataracts. The need is overwhelming, and it will take hours to screen and care for the thousands who need medical attention. But Ashley Sellars is undaunted. In fact, there’s nowhere else she’d rather be. A nurse from a surgery unit right here in Dallas, Ashley donated four months of her time to serve on the Mercy Ship, a charitable hospital ship offering medical services to the poor around the world. She recently returned to Dallas and continued serving at Watermark and in her nursing job. She is sharing how God used the Mercy Ship experience to encourage her faith and shape her walk with Him.
