This year (2005) marks 10 years since Rivers has been in ministry to the nation of St. Kitts, the region and the wider world. This significant milestone was not achieved by chance, but was inspired by the Holy Spirit, and was carefully designed and purposefully executed by the Elders and Partners of Rivers.

The Birthing of the Ministry

Rivers of Living Water Christian Centre was birthed on August 13, 1995. Apostle Dr. Allan Isaac and his family returned from Antigua where they had lived for four years. He returned with a vision burning on the inside of him: "Raising up a mighty people with God, utilizing all the resources of Heaven and Earth to proclaim, promote and expand the kingdom of God”.

He began to lay the necessary groundwork for the ministry; putting into writing the Vision, Statement of Faith, Mission and goals. The inspiration for the ministry’s name came from John 7:37-39…Out of his belly shall flow ‘rivers of living water’….. To which he added Centre – a place of training, fellowship, worship and impartation.

The church began meeting in the living room of the Isaac’s home at Shadwell Gardens, Basseterre. The first Sunday service was held at ten o’clock with Apostle Allan Isaac as the Senior Elder and Overseer, his wife Debbie Isaac as his Associate and worship leader and their five children as the congregation.

The first series of messages preached by Apostle Isaac centered on the theme of ‘Being Faithful.’ The family sometimes felt discouraged but Apostle Isaac continued to encourage them to ‘be faithful’.
