November 18th - 20th, 2022
Every year, River of Life takes a trip to the Navajo Indian Reservation to bring them loads of firewood and turkeys for Thanksgiving.

Thank you to everyone who donated a frozen turkey! And thank you to the Wellington Community Food Bank who donated several bags of food!

We took two trailers full of firewood this year!
Thank you to everyone who helped split wood and load the trailers, your hard work is very much appreciated!

Our team worked through a local pastor in the area and delivered firewood and turkeys to Navajo families in need. Many of them use wood stoves to heat their homes through the winter. There are very few trees in the area and most of the landscape is barren dessert so the firewood is very much appreciated.
Thank you!

Here is our newest church given by River Of Life and a note from Kerry about pastor Lazar of India:

 "Lazar was born in a Hindu family. His mother, Samakka, and his father, Saraiah, were named after two Hindu goddesses.
Both of his parents were idol worshipers and would worship a different god each day. Suddenly his mother started suffering from health issues so they took her to several different hospitals but nothing helped. Someone told them that she was suffering with black magic, so the family went to many other hospitals as well as several temples hoping their idols would heal her. One day, one of Lazar's relatives told them they should to go a Christian church, because maybe the Christian God could heal her. They began attending a church and from the first day they started going to the church God touched her and she became normal. Immediately seeing this they assumed she was healed forever and stopped going to church. Again the same problem returned, and Lazar began to suffer as well. For a week he was not hungry and wasn't able to eat, so again he started coming to church and sought the One True God, and the Lord healed him. (All of this happened in between 1994 - 1996) 
In 1996 he started coming to church regularly and was baptized in 1997! He began to grow spiritually in his walk with the Lord, began working as an assistant pastor at another church God called him to, and he went on to Bible training in 2003.

In 2008 Lazar got married, and was blessed with God's gift of a son in 2012. However, his wife began suffering from blocked heart vessels; and in 2017 she had to have open heart surgery. The surgery was successful and the Lord was with her and she recovered and was in good health for several years. In 2019, she gave birth to their daughter, but recently she began suffering with breathing issues. The doctor said the valves of her heart were closing again, and this time they can't do surgery, so they are praying God will heal her. They ask for your prayers as well, and want you to know they are praying for River Of Life, and are so thankful for helping them to complete this church! Thank you! - Kerry Mauldin"

Here is a testimony from one of the church members:
"My name is Srilatha, my father, Saidulu, used to drink alcohol every day and he would beat my mother, Mariyamma. He spent all his earnings on alcohol and our family had no savings, no money when we faced problems, and no money to go to hospitals if we got sick.
My mother has begun coming to church! When we started attending, there were 40 believers in the church, and since then, God has added 3 new families to the church!
The people in the congregation used to give 1,500 - 2000 rupies to the church until they heard a powerful teaching about tithing and all the blessings God promises to those who give. Since then, God has blessed our tithe and it has increased to 3,500 rupies! God has been blessing this church abundantly! Please continue to pray for my father.
All glory to God, - Sirlatha"

Here is a church given by River Of Life in 2022, and a letter from pastor Yona of India:

 "In 2005 I believed in Jesus and was Baptized, in 2006 through one of my relatives, I came to this village VISWANATHAPALLY, since then till 2016, I have attended every Sunday service. In 2017 my pastor got sick and was admitted into the hospital, and I lead the church for some time, but on April 17th, 2017, my pastor slept in the Lord, due to a tumor in his stomach.

He had built a tiny church, but due to it being old and very small they demolished it and started construction for a larger church. When we went the walls and roof had been built. We also dug a water well here, which was given by OKMULGEE AG & LAWTON TRINITY AG, Then we gave to the construction of this Church and members of the church also gave, and they completed plastering, flooring, painting and finished all the electricity work.

 Now this church has 25 to 40 Members! We have baptized 20-25 people and have had 2-5 people get filled with the Holy Spirit and speak in tongues! Thank you!
- Pastor Yona"

Here is the water well given by the AMP-Youth of River Of Life in 2021 and a letter about pastor Benjamin of India:

 "Pastor Benjamin is 33 years old and he got a diabetic problem at the age of 29. He has been pastoring in this village for the last 4 years and committed his life to work for God at the age of 17. God blessed him and holds him in His arms; he is planning to start new church in another village, and asked for prayer for his church. They drilled 130 feet in depth to install this well, and God has given nice and sweet water! The people are happy that all their neighbours can know the love of God because of this well. Thank you so much!"

Here is the church and water well given by our River Kids of River Of Life in 2021, and two letters from two of the women from this church in India:

 "My name is Medi Oullamma, daughter of NAGAIAH, I've been coming to church for the last six months. I belonged to the Hindu religion, but had a lot of financial issues in my family, and all my family members used to go for work to earn money but there was no blessing in my family and there was not any growth. One day I came to church with my friends and I observed that there was happiness and blessings in the lives of the church members, even though a few of them are poor. From the day I started coming to the church, and I started giving my tithe, my family was blessed slowly and now they are leading their other family members to Jesus! 
-Medi Oullamma"
 

"My name is Nurakapangu Kumari, daughter of Anjaiah. I started coming to church in the last 10 years. I just want to show my gratitude in this letter - we didn't have any water supply near to the church, & when we wanted to celebrate Christmas or when we were celebrating New Year, we suffered lot for water. All the church members used to carry in buckets from a long distance, but now you have helped give money for the borewell, and now we have enough water in our colony. We all were so happy and we are so blessed! Our church members are using this well, and the street people are using this well too! We are so happy for your help, and we are praying for you, for your families, and we are also praying for your ministry. We are so thankful to you and to Riverkids at River Of Life! Thank you!
- Nurakapangu Kumari

Here is the church given by River Of Life Fellowship in 2020 and a letter from the pastor:

 "The Nagilikonda church is complete! We just got the picture of the church now that is has been painted! We are giving our best efforts and plans to have it ready for service by Sunday. Praise the Lord it is looking good! Thank you!"

Here is the water well given by River Of Life in 2019 and a letter from one of the pastors in India:

"Praise the Lord! By the blessings of God and by your prayers we are fine here, and we hope you’re also fine in the name of Jesus. Drilling the well was a success! Water came at 200 feet! We drilled more than 200 feet, and God has given us good water! Paster and the believers are so happy and even the street people are also feeling very happy - everyone is thankful to you and to the people who helped give money for this drill, saying thanks to Jesus Christ for helping them through you. We are praying for you hoping to help more villages like this. Thank you very much!"
