Rivers of Life International Ministries

The community around Rivers of Life International Ministries

It takes 5.5 miles in every direction to gather two thousand neighbors around this church. Among the people scattered across those miles, about 1 in 5 adults live with diabetes, and more than a third of adults live with obesity, and more than a third of the children here are growing up below the poverty line. A scattered parish is still a parish.

Pray for the families driving a long way to everything — to work, to a hospital, to this door on a Sunday morning.
