Rivers Baptist Church - Christ alone - and Him crucified

Dear Brothers & Sisters,

We hope this update finds you all well in the Lord. God continues to take people on the journey of their lives. The Lord has been growing & stretching our fellowship. What is amazing is how people are responding to His call.

The beginning of this year saw the beginning of a youth ministry in the church. We put on a part time youth pastor, (named Pat), & he & the team are doing an awesome work for Jesus. Pat is also a part time SU chappy in the school. It is great to see God raising up pastoral leadership from the local church.

2007 will also see us losing some people who have been real gems in the church – but we are praising God for that! Some are responding to the call of bible college, others to missionary work. The last 12 months have been formative for these guys spiritually. There is a deep sense of confirmation in Gods calling. Please pray that God will fill the whole that they leave with people hungry for Gods word.
