Missions

Reaching the World, Starting at Home.

At River of Life, we believe the mission starts at home and extends across the world. From serving local communities to partnering with global ministries, we’re committed to sharing the love of Jesus in both word and action. Whether it’s a service project down the street or a trip across the ocean, we go where God leads—bringing hope, help, and the message of Christ to a world in need.

Who We Support

Our first responsibility is right here in Minnesota, especially our local city, Elk River. We partner with ministries and have multiple opportunities throughout the year to reach the people in our cities. Below are our local missionaries, ministries, and community organizations that we support.

Costa Rica Missions Trip

‼️THIS TRIP IS FULL‼️

This Costa Rica mission trip is officially full, but you can still be a part of what God is doing in Nicoya! There are two powerful ways you can support the team: through prayer and through giving.

The team will be serving from January 24–February 1, and we would deeply value your prayers—for protection, safety, good health, and most importantly, for an eternal impact as we share the love of Jesus with the people of Nicoya.

You can also bless the team by purchasing supplies needed for the trip. The team will be running a VBS for the kids in Nicoya, which requires many supplies. If you would like to be a part of the mission in this way, check out the Amazon wishlist below! Thank you for standing with us in prayer and support!
