Rivers of the World
Rivers of The World (ROW) is a not-for-profit Christian ministry that targets remote river basins. Our goal is to serve with people who live in these river basins and those we serve determine our projects. We ask them what makes up their greatest challenges and covenant with them to meet and overcome those challenges together ROW emphasizes that it is their country, their village, their culture, but our problem. Our goal is to serve in an atmosphere of mutual concern and respect.

As a veteran of several domestic based mission trips during his days in high school, Nick began traveling abroad with ROW while attending Hampden-Sydney College as part of the college’s Society of 1791 Leadership Program. After graduating from Hampden-Sydney College, Nick spent two years as an Assistant Dean of Admissions for his alma mater. During this time he also assisted in leading a group of students to Belize for a ROW work trip.
Nick has also spent a great deal of time leading high school and college aged participants on wilderness expeditions and in facilitating leadership activities. Now as Senior Field Director for ROW, Nick travels the country speaking to groups about ROW and recruiting teams to travel around the world assisting in ROW projects. Nick will also be spending time aboard leading ROW teams and searching for new ROW projects.
As the Director of THROW (Teens Helping Rivers of the World), Nick also meets with youth groups and youth organizations to encourage teens of all ages to get involved in the international relief and development projects that ROW operates across the world. THROW helps to facilitate groups to travel on ROW trips, but also to have groups send supplies and care packages around the world with other ROW volunteers.
Nick’s wife Liz is currently pursuing a Ph.D. in Mathematics from the University of Chicago. Both natives of Virginia, Nick and Liz now reside in Chicago, IL.
