Liberation Partners
As one of our guiding pathways, liberation is foundational to Watershed's work near and far. And as weâve outlined in the way we define liberation at Watershed, our trajectory is guided by the legacy and leadership of those who are ahead of us and running alongside us in this work. Watershedâs liberation partnerships exist to deepen our bonds of solidarity with individuals and organizations whose own work we want to elevate, whose wisdom we continue to learn from, and whose solidarity with our own mission we seek to strengthen.
Tommy Allgood
Spiritual Director
Community Partner

Tommy is a staple of our community whose influence is apparent in so many of Watershedâs recent evolutions. As Tommyâs own work and ministry transitions to lean into their budding pastoral gifts, a consistent support of Tommyâs platform serves as an act of gratitude towards their contributions to Watershedâs story thus far while also inviting them into the new iterations our community conspires towards in the years to come. Tommy has recently dreamed up a compelling platform for mutual aid designed to work in conjunction with their pastoral and consulting work. By supporting Tommy on a consistent basis, we better equip them to make this integration a reality and position Watershed to both contribute to and benefit from a budding network of mutual aid.

Thanglal Haokip
Pastor
International Partner

Not only is Thanglal our longest running partnership, but he has incredibly continued to evolve with our community in ways and means appropriate to his context in India. Perhaps better than any talk or bloc experience could communicate, Thanglalâs work truly embodies our value of reclamation, translating the liberating and transformative movement of God in ever-new ways intelligible to his context. Our monthly/annual support of Thanglalâs ministry does not preclude above-and-beyond campaigns on his behalf but gives him a consistent base of funding to help plan/budget around.
