The heart of Rivers of New Hope Ministries is to compassionately share the hope of salvation provided by embracing a love relationship with Jesus. In addition to evangelism our purpose is to:

• Encourage peaceful decision making and non-violent discourse as is emphasized in New Testament philosophy. This effort includes but is not limited to teaching tolerance and forgiveness within the fractured family unit, standing against violence in our communities, and further activism concerning domestic and international conflicts. We believe in the unity of man, inseparable by race, culture, religion, politics, etc. We will stand against oppression and defend the cause of those who are! We believe that peace is only possible through a personal commitment to Jesus' teachings on blessing those who oppose us rather than seeking fleshly retaliation. We believe in the equality of humanity and bringing honor to all whom He has has created. We believe in self-evaluation over imposing personal judgment. We encourage personal responsibility without excuse when addressing those who have sinned against another. We believe vengeance belongs to God alone and determine to act peaceably among one another.

• Pursue spiritual justice by encouraging non-violent resistance. We further attempt to retrieve and safely dispose of any carnal weapons of warfare.

• Share humanitarian aid through distribution of clothing, personal care items, non-perishable food, toys and other goods entrusted to our charity. We will serve those who have been or devastated by natural disasters war, famine, etc. In many cases, this donation will be given to a third party who will share the goods with the heart of compassion as demonstrated by Jesus, the Prince of Peace.
