The Rydbecks enjoy spending time with their family outdoors, especially by the water! Working out and shopping are also favorite activities. . . (shopping is mostly Rachel)John and Rachel have always had the desire to be a part of something bigger than themselves. The vision and mission of Life-Giving Water International was such an inspiration to them, that they began to support the ministry. They soon were taking yearly trips with a new group of supporters each time. The result has been life-changing for them and for those that came with them.
Their favorite part of being involved with Life-Giving Water is the enjoyment of working alongside the precious, local people. Whether digging trenches, or teaching a Bible story, it is rewarding knowing that the results will last for a lifetime and beyond.
