How It Started
In 2008 a local pediatrician (Peachy Delima) approached her pastor with a dream of medical missions to the country where she grew up. This dream has morphed into a long-term outreach to the people of the Philippines. The River (Foursquare) started yearly mission trips. In 2019 Valley Christian Church (Non-Denominational) joined them along with a church a Foursquare church in Hanford and added youth discipleship retreats. In 2027 Family Baptist Church will have members join the team. The answer to "why do we go" is simple; God loves them.
These 4 small churches (Foursquare, Baptist, Non-Denominational) in the Central Valley of California have joined forces. The focus has been the Kingdom of God; It is not about denominations, individual church teachings, or different styles. It is the basic foundation of our faith. God loves them and wants them to be his children. Plain and simple.
RiverTec is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization.

We travel to multiple areas on the island to offer medical care for young people and adults. Our doctors give medical checkups. All the medicine is pre-purchased and is free when it is handed out through prescriptions.
