The River supports missions around the world in various countries such as Haiti, Panama, Kenya, Cambodia, India and China.

Southern India

The River supports the ministry of Dr. Santhosh Babu Desabattula in southern India. Santhosh is the Bishop and Director of Universal Church Ministries (UCM) founded in 1991. The organization has targeted ministries to help care for orphans, widows, lepers and women. Bishop Santhosh is also passionate about church planting in the villages. UCM trains new pastors at their Bible College, after graduation they are sent out to establish churches in villages that have never had a church or heard the gospel. The River has been invited many times to send mission teams to India to work with UMC at Pastor Training Conferences, Medical Clinics, Outreaches and Orphanages. The missions teams are always blessed and humbled to be able to serve with Bishop Santhosh and his team.
