Pastors Joe and Rose Watterson, are the Senior Pastors of Waves of Refreshing Christian Fellowship in LaPorte, IN. They have been married for 34 years and have 5 children and 7 grandchildren .

In 2005, Waves of Refreshing started in their home, and quickly outgrew their surroundings. It moved to a conference room at a local Best Western. There they started bringing in dynamic glory speakers and teachers from around the country.
In the year 2007 the church moved to Michigan City, IN. They have established a prophetic and glory ministry, crying out with deep passion and desire for our Bridegroom, Jesus Christ. The ministry has been known for many healings in God's presence and bringing the church into revival and renewal.
In 2009, Waves helped start Everlasting River Fellowship, a new church plant in North Judson, IN. The "ER" fellowship is pastored by Larry and Essie Clemons with Pastor Joe's apostolic covering.
In 2012 the church moved to La Porte where they still meet.
For the past 25 years Pastor Joe has sought after the presence of God and has lived in manifestation of His Glory. The search has led him deeply into worship and the word of God. Through dynamic prophetic worship, apostolic teachings (mixed with humor), and a Father's Love, Pastor Joe brings the children of God into their destinies and purposes, changing their lives forever.
