Rivers of the World (ROW) has recently taken some steps to ensure the gospel of Jesus Christ goes forth in Nicaragua, even to visitors from Iran. There is no way to describe how surprised the people of Monkey Point, Nicaragua were when Revolutionary Guard troops from Iran stepped off helicopters and into their village in November 2007.

Many of you know the name of Rivers of the World’s (ROW) administrator because actually, it is not really a name at all. She goes by 3. She signs her name 3, her business cards have 3 on it and even her stationary has her name, the number 3 on it. If you ever get the chance to meet her, take a close look at her clothing because somewhere you will find her name, 3, monogrammed.

Do you realize that you can be at home anywhere in the world? As I prepare for a trip to Prague to visit my wife, Dr. Mickie Mathes, I recall a car commercial that I once saw on television.

He walks across that famous bridge in Prague and he is talking about an automobile, but viewers never actually see the automobile.

Chickens, pigs and goats, pots, pans and plants. Let’s say that again…chickens, pigs and goats, pots, pans and plants. Unbelievably, these are the things that Rivers of the World (ROW) has been asked for by the people of the Mathari Valley who have lost so much in the recent fighting in Kenya.

Oh, you will get a kick out of this! I just looked at my calendar and I realized that during the next two weeks I have appointments to see three different physicians. As if that isn’t enough, I also have an appointment with a dentist.

If you make your living by traveling often then you can count on a few things that are always constant. You can be certain there will be traffic, road construction and there will always be somebody who decides they are going to have a wreck the day you’re trying to get somewhere important. The other thing you can count on during your travels is seeing friends.

One of the highlights of my travels is visiting with folks across our radio listening audience. I recently had so much fun visiting two churches in Omaha, Neb. Several of the men took me hunting and we just had the best time! They took a Georgia boy out in nine-degree weather and about a foot of snow! It was incredible.

Do you know what Vietnam, Nicaragua, Belize, Congo and Brazil all have in common? During March, Rivers of the World (ROW) had teams stationed in each of those countries sharing the love of God in Jesus Christ. They were in central Vietnam, Belize and Congo and in eastern Brazil and Nicaragua. Regardless of where the teams were, their message of Jesus Christ was the same.
