What We Do

20130910_133241Prayer
We believe in prayer and we do it. A large portion of our time is committed to prayer walking, praying through cities and regions that have less than 2% Christian population. We focus on areas where there are the most unreached people groups in the world. Everything we do comes out of prayer. Relationships are formed, partnerships are established and lives are transformed because we show our dependence is on God through prayer.

Short Term Mission Journeys
We Go! As God leads, we take teams of individuals to Asia. Each team has a different focus. Some teams go to pray, others to conduct leadership conferences, some to do children’s crusades, others to teach vocational training, helping the local Christians develop job skills. Every team has a mission to fulfill and is a great source of encouragement to those they minister to. After going on one of these trips the short term missionaries continue to pray for and support those they met on the field. It is a life changing experience for those who go as well as for those we go to. We call it “Vacation with a Purpose” and you can read about our first one here…

Partnering With Local Ministries
5 Rivers is committed to coming alongside individuals and existing ministries to help strengthen their hands while they do the work of the ministry. We help those who are on the front lines of ministry become more productive. By providing motorcycles, bicycles, cars and trucks we are able help the workers become more productive. We financially support the director of the International School of Ministry (ISOM) for North India as he establishes and multiplies training points to equip church planters. We also help build training centers and prayer halls where the local believers can worship and be trained in ministry.

Leadership Development
Leadership development is a primary focus of 5 Rivers. Many of the new workers we have partnered with have had little or no access to teaching and training. Through the International School of Ministry (ISOM), we can give the leaders the ability to receive an accredited diploma in Biblical Studies. By doing this the students no longer need to leave the field to attend Bible college but can take classes while they continue their work. Through ISOM thousands of leaders and church planters are being equipped and sent into the mission field.
