Yesterday I witnessed something that had such a profound affect upon me that I simply cannot forget about it. I was in the Dominican Republic and I watched this poor soul take a nasty metal can and scrape it through the gutter of the street in an attempt to gather filthy water just so he could have something to drink. He then took the can and gathered more dirty water and poured it over his head so he could take a bath.

The birds are singing, the fragrance of the flowers blooming fills the air and it is a wonderful time to be outdoors. I just love springtime! It is a great time to take walks and that is exactly what I did last week while in the Dominican Republic. The cities are beautiful, the countryside is gorgeous and green and there are precious people all around who would love to hear about Jesus.

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.

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.

It has been two weeks since Rivers of the World (ROW) has heard from our Kenya program director, Zablon Kuria and our friend, Winjuku. These men are serving in the Rift Valley and in the Mathare Valley. As you might now, Kenya has been thrust into a time of terrible turmoil and upheaval.

It just thrills my soul when people from around the world come together to help other folks in the world for the sake of Jesus Christ. Check your calendar…do you have anything planned March 28 or 29? If not, head to Belize where you can take part in a benefit concert to help the children of Belize attain better education opportunities.

While there is nothing like putting a Bible in somebody’s hands, I love using technology to reach people from all over the world. By now, most of you are familiar with the solar powered, digital Bibles that Rivers of the World (ROW) distributes in the various countries that we serve.
