About this ebook
but our problem. We will never do for others what they can do for themselves,
but will work in a partnership based upon mutual love, grace, and respect.
Dr. Ben Mathes, president, Rivers of the World
Rivers of the World (ROW) is a not-for-profit Christian ministry that targets
remote river basins. Our goal is to serve with people who live in these river
basins and those we serve determine our projects. We ask them what makes up
their greatest challenges and covenant with them to meet and overcome those
challenges together.
ROW emphasizes that it is their country, their village, their culture, but our
problem. Our goal is to serve in an atmosphere of mutual concern and respect.
ROW projects run the gamut of human, physical and spiritual needs. Academics,
research, education and medical/dental concerns go hand-in-hand with church
planting, construction, evangelism and Bible distribution.

They’re here! I can’t wait for you to see them. Check out the downloadable posters at www.row.org. They are creative, informative and a great way to let people know about Rivers of the World’s (ROW) new Fleet Fund. ROW has set a goal of building five new ships in 2009. These small ships will be used to provide microeconomic opportunities in remote jungle villages, predominately in Central America. Each ship will cost $15,000, which includes the boat, motor and enough fuel to do ministry for a year.
ROW has also set a minimum goal of $165,000 to finish a new hospital ship that will serve 1.2 million Yagua Indians in Peru.
ROW’s graphic artist, Liz, has come up with some incredible posters. One of the posters actually features ROW’s Executive Administrator, 3, as Rosie the Riveter saying, We Can Do It!
And you know what? We can, with your help! We can get out there and change the world for the Lord despite what seems to be the worst economy in a lifetime. I’m sick of hearing that so let’s show the world that God is ultimately in control, even of our finances. Take a moment today and pray about becoming a Friend of the
