Nevada Journal Article
By Marlys Barker
Nevada Journal
If you haven’t met Greg Kinzle yet, chances are you will meet him.
Kinzle is a new pastor in Nevada, and he likes to be out in the community, meeting people and taking in all that Nevada has to offer. This past weekend, he and his family were excited to take in all of the Lincoln Highway Days events.
“People have been friendly,” Kinzle said of Nevada.
Kinzle took over for Tom Poppe, the former pastor of Nevada’s Assembly of God church. When Kinzle came into his present pastoral role, however, it was at the same time that the church a change in its name. The church is now called Living Water Fellowship.
New pastor, new name for the church … it all seems a little bit overwhelming, but Kinzle said the change of name when he arrived was more about timing. “The (church) board was ready to change the name of the church, so that the name would more accurately reflect what we perceive as our purpose. We also felt a name change would be healthy at this time, since the church’s leadership was also changing.”
Kinzle said Living Water Fellowship was chosen as the church name based on the scripture: John 7:38: “Whoever believes in me, as the Scripture has said, streams of living water will flow from within him.”
Kinzle hopes to see the Living Water Fellowship become a portal for God’s Kingdom to expand in central Iowa. “Jesus preached and taught the Kingdom of Heaven is near. While preaching that message, He healed the sick, delivered the oppressed and spoke forgiveness and freedom to people. My goal is that the Kingdom of Heaven will manifest itself in a greater way in the Nevada area.”
Kinzle said that already, people are starting to be touched by God and freed from their physical pain. “We know there will be more. Not because we have the answers, but because we believe Jesus is the answer. As people are deeply touched by God, they will be equipped to go and touch others in Jesus’ name. It will have such a great impact on our community.”
Kinzle was raised in Kearney, Mo., a small town about 20 miles north of Kansas City. He attended kindergarten there and worked his way up through high school graduation.
When he entered college at SMSU, which is now Missouri State, he became involved in a campus ministry called Chi Alpha, and said his life was changed by encountering Jesus Christ through this campus ministry. “A few years after graduation from college, I became a campus minister so I could help others the same way this ministry helped me.”
In 1997, he moved to Ames to serve as the Chi Alpha Ministries director at Iowa State. He was there through 2005. “After considering a move to another university, I decided to take a sabbatical from the ministry for a period of time. I have spent the last three years working in different jobs while prayerfully considering a return to vocational ministry.”
Kinzle said he was familiar with the Nevada Assembly of God church, because he had ministered there, and he knew the former pastor. “The day I sent my resume, my excitement started to build. As my wife and I prayed and discussed the opportunity, we became more confident that Nevada was where the Lord was leading us.”
The church’s board invited Kinzle to candidate, and he later received a 100 percent vote of the membership.
Among the visions that Kinzle sees for the Living Water fellowship are the following:
· A church with a bright future and a destiny that God has carved out for it. Our destiny is more than waiting for Christ’s return. We get to release His kingdom.
· A church with a humble heart that invites the present of God and draws people to join us in our pursuit.
· A church that imparts to others what we received from God. We reproduce ourselves in other people and ministries, making disciples of all nations.
Kinzle and his wife, Tess, have three children: Sydnie, who will turn 12 next Tuesday; Jace, 4; and Emerie, 6 weeks. Kinzle looks forward to raising his children in Nevada. “Nevada has a rich history and a lot of community spirit. It seems like people are happy to be here. Nevada has good restaurants and a movie theatre. I love having a main street. People seem to walk, bike and get out a lot. Everybody isn’t the same in the town, so it feels authentic.”

Last Night's Prayer
We had prayer last night at church. God showed up God gave 3 pictures (vision) of things. 2 of them involved exploding light. Awesome huh? I am so thankful that God reveals things to us if we allow Him too. God will explode His goodness and power over us! He is so awesome!

Praying, moving, blogging
Man, I have been busy. I'm not sure anyone has missed me blogging. Probably not. I have been so busy getting the parsonage ready and moving I have no opportunity to blog. I don't know what I'm doing. If you know of any blogging educational sites to teach me send it to me at gkinzle@yahoo.com so I can learn more.
My first Sunday as Pastor was 3 months from this coming Sunday. I will be officially installed this Sunday by Tom Jacobs, the Iowa Ministry Network superintendent We've been having fun. I think they are getting used to me. We've been having awesome times in God's presence. Especially when a few of us pray. We have just started 40 days of Prayer with Fasting starting April 1 and going to Pentecost Sunday May 11. We've been praying for an increase in the power and presence of God. We will see it. We've been having awesome times in His presence. Some have never prayed like this before. So awesome. I get to show others how to pray passionately. Really Fun.
We're still praying for the sick weekly. Seen some healings but always wanting more. I will not be satisfied until I see Jesus + some power in ministry.
Contending for more,
Greg
