This Week at The River Ministry Center 12/16/2008

Hello Everyone,

Found another great free game.  Travel the universe, discover alien species, save the earth.  Check it out.

Mark is helping Gayll make final preparations for the Phifer-Houseman's trip to Ethiopia.  They will be visiting family as well as scouting out potential ICE partnerships there.  They are looking for used digital cameras, laptops, mp3 players, etc. to give as gifts during their trip.  If you have something to donate, contact .

Looking forward to the Christmas Holiday!

  • THE RIVER CHRISTMAS CATALOG 2008
     
    This year, The River is providing the Harvest of Hope gift catalog to aid you in your Christmas Season giving.  Harvest of Hope is produced by on of The River's international partners, Partners International.  Their mission statement is "to create and grow communities of Christian witness in partnership with God's people in the least Christian regions of the world."  The River supports Partners' work in North Africa to provide families clean water and aid for disabled children.
     
    Our tradition during the Christmas season is to ask you to consider giving to Christian ministries an amount equal to that spent by your family on gifts for itself.  This is a tangible way to live out the reality that Jesus came to bring hope to all people.
     
    You can find the catalog online at www.harvestofhope.org where you can also order a physical catalog if you wish.  To give to the projects that The River has been supported, search for codes T24 "Clean Water for a Family, N. Africa" and T25 "Therapy for a Disabled Child, N. Africa."
     
    Gifts are tax deductible and will be receipted directly by Partners International.
     
    Thank you for giving!
