CARING across Borders

Through Siloe Church & School in Soyapango, we’re caring for people in some of the toughest areas of El Salvador.

Siloe provides an education, one hot meal per day and after school care. Because the neighborhood it serves is a relatively poor area where there is little financial support for the school and church, we are committed to assisting Siloe in becoming self-sustaining spiritually, economically and socially.

Through our partnership, Riverbenders like you:

• 114 have been offered the opportunity to obtain a high school diploma in a private, Christian high school.

• 39 students have been offered a sponsorship for a Bachelor’s degree in the field of their choice.

• 12 students have graduated from University

Are you ready to explore El Salvador?

Here are some of our serving opportunities:

• Fund scholarships for promising Salvadoran high school and/or university students and encourage them throughout the year

• Provide general financial and/or prayer support in one or more of three primary areas of ministry for Iglesia Bautista de Siloe (Church, School, Missionaries)

CARING across Borders

Through our ministry in Piedras Negras, Mexico, we’re providing an easy way for everyone to have a cross-cultural experience.

We partner with a ministry in Piedras Negras called Hands & Feet ministry. Hands & Feet also runs an elementary school, and partners with a home that cares for special-needs adults and children. On these trips everyone from children to adults are welcome. This is a great experience for you if you have never been on a mission trip.

Through our partnership, Riverbenders like you:

• Embarked on our first ever family trip — where Riverbend families (including young children) were able to go and serve

Are you ready to experience a new culture and explore Mexico — we have trips planned for men, women, and even families!

Walking where Jesus walked

There’s nothing quite like a trip to the Holy Land — the opportunity to visit locations in the Bible where Jesus actually walked can be a powerful experience. This trip is a chance for you to come tour the holy land, and experience the historical context and setting of the Bible and of Jesus life and ministry.

This trip is open to anyone over 18, and is a great experience whether you have no experience with missions trips, or if you have lots.

Are you interested in going on our next Israel/Holy Land trip?
