March 3, 2021 at 6:17 amPastor Rivers, a man of many talents and gifts from the Lord. When ever you were around him, you could feel the joy of what God had done in his live. He was a man that could and would give his voice for the unborn and stood up for righteousness in what ever situation he faced without fear. I am so blessed to have known this man of God. He has now finished is race and has gone home to receive his rewards…to ever be with the Lord! We shall meet again, my brother!

February 21, 2021 at 7:36 pmHeaven has gained a saint but how sad for us here on earth to loose such a wonderful Christian man and Pastor. He was a bright light shining in the darkness, a champion voice for the rights of the unborn and a friend to many. While I did not know him well I felt He was a true brother in Christ. May God love and protect his family and meet all their needs. Until we meet in Heaven Pastor Rivers may you rest well in the arms of our savior Jesus Christ. Prayers and Blessings on his family. With much love, prayers and respect ❤️
