Ex. 47:9-10 When it empties into the Sea, the water there becomes fresh. Swarms of living creatures will live wherever the river flows. There will be large numbers of fish, because this water flows there and makes the salt water fresh; so where the river flows everything will live—- The fish will be of many kinds like the fish of the Great Sea.

Home based out of Oregon,  "Fresh Water is a family duet that ministers to the whole family.This team consists of Founder (1976) David Rice, and wife Vicki, (married 2-14-79). Their ministry is birthed out of a vital, growing relationship with Christ, so for them the good news of the Gospel is always FRESH! Their songs are original, and their music and ministry are versatile in style, allowing them to reach out to each age group and also to cross denominational boundaries. Their songs are aired in over 42 countries world wide, including The U.S.  Much more than just song writers, singers, musicians and Pastors, they continue to release a wealth of Anointing,"Fresh Insight", and "Prophetic Worship", everywhere they go... and as a result, exciting things happen! People are born of the Spirit, and healed! Captives are delivered and set free! Strongholds are brought down, and the aroma of Christ fills the hearts of those present! (2Cor. 2:14-16). 2Cor. 10:4-5).

Vicki’s song "THE STRONGHOLDS ARE COMIN’ DOWN", is under contract with Bill Gaither Management Co. and Aaron Wilburn Publishing Co. It is televised frequently on the Trinity Broadcast Network by recording artist "Steve Brock", Richard Roberts television program (Tulsa Ok.) by singing artist, Gary Lollis, and is also being performed at "Rodney Howard Brown crusades by "Big John Hall", as well as other artists.Also churches everywhere are including her powerful praise choruses in their worship services.

David shares life changing testimony of God’s mercy to a generation lost in drug & alcohol addiction and Gods' ability to give anyone a "SECOND CHANCE"! Before his conversion in "1976", he was part of the "60’s"rockband " THE PROPHETS" who made appearances with "THE BEACHBOYS, AND "THE DAVE CLARK FIVE". He is now an Ordained Minister with Foursquare and totally sold out to The God he loves & serves.

FRESH WATER has led praise and worship for Sunday Praise Gathering at "The Jim Stafford Theatre" and for Revival Fires Ministries at "THE GRAND PALACE" in Branson Mo. They have been guests on television at T.B.N. studios (Portland Organ) and Opryland Hotel (Nashville Tenn.). They have shared the stage with artists such as B.J.Thomas, The "Happy Goodmans", and Dove award winner "Aaron Wilburn" ("It’s Beginning To Rain"). as well as "The Oak Ridge Boys", and "The Blackwood Bros.", and "The Lewis Family", to name a few.

She also has a son named Jackson who sings with his Mama,  and His Pepaw & Memaw every time they have the opportunity, and says he's going to be a singer, preacher and drive a train, which he believes to be the "Polar Express"  that stops right behind Chemult Christian Center Twice a day!

Through the years, the couple has served in Children’s & Youth Ministries, Helps & Teaching, Praise & Worship Pastors, Directors of Dramas, as well as Associate & Senior Pastors, so they have a definite heart for weary Pastor’s and their Staff. Many times they have witnessed The Healing River of God’s Spirit bathe over lifeless devastation, and restore Hope, Faith, and Vitality! They long to bring thirsty people to "The Water of Life", where they can be Refreshed, & Restored! (Rev.22:17). They also challenge The Body Of Christ everywhere, to get up out their comfortable church pews and..."Go Fishing", The Jesus kind of Way! (Mark 1:17)
