Role

By sharing the Gospel with them in very real and tangible ways that may conclude in saving faith, genuine heart transformations, and changed lives for at-risk pregnant women and their children, needy elderly, and abandoned children.

Doug and Roberta Moore’s role, as founders, leaders, organizers, and overseers of the River of Life Foundation, is to communicate and maintain the original vision and overall scope of the River of Life Care Home, Elderly Home, Residential Children’s Home, and outreach ministries, as the day to day hands on leaders, overseeing the daily operating of all facets of the work, including planning and hosting short-term mission teams coming to ROL.

We work with our excellent Romanian staff team, making this vision into a reality and helping it to grow. We also communicate with our international ministry and prayer partners regularly about the ongoing work and needs of the ministry as the Lord leads and directs.
