There are just people in this life that we deal with who come across as being pushy, aren’t there? I do believe that I have just been with one of the pushiest people I have ever met. Instantly I was tempted to get all my hackles up and to take offense but then fortunately I stopped a second and thought, “Why don’t you just listen to what he’s got to say, instead.”

Ahhhhhh, stretch. Okay, excuse me if I yawn. I just got in from Nicaragua and in just a few short days I’ll be heading overseas again. I’ll be traveling to a brand new river, or at least it is for me, in Venezuela.

I know that I am not the only person to have experienced times when God intervenes so specifically in our lives that all we can do is laugh, praise the Lord and simply say, “Thank you, God.”

As many of you know Iran landed military troops in Nicaragua and I believe they did so in order to learn about life in this part of the world. Surely they came to better understand Christianity! In February Rivers of the World (ROW) began several projects in Monkey Point, Nicaragua because that is also where the Iranian Revolutionary Guard landed troops in November 2007.

I have learned through the years that one of the great aspects of being a Christian is the fellowship we experience when we participate together in sports. Did you know that baseball is a huge sport in Nicaragua? Did you also know that Rivers of the World (ROW) has two baseball teams in that Central American country? We have the men’s and the women’s Monkey Point Stars.

So many of Rivers of the World’s (ROW) faithful followers have been extremely kind recently and I want to thank all of you. We have been overwhelmed by expressions of love, prayer and concern for my wife, Mickie, who was recently diagnosed with cancer.

It was Sunday morning in Bluefields, Nicaragua, when I took a walk that changed my life. I was crossing a bridge over a small stream that runs through the beautiful town of Bluefields when I heard the congregation of a church about 200 yards away that had gathered to worship. The worship service included drums, guitars, organs, tambourines, a piano and voices that just lifted the Word to heaven. My senses just came alive and it was so exciting!

On my recent trip to Nicaragua the carburetor on the boat we were riding in fell apart. To make matters worse, after we fixed that problem we then ran out of fuel. So here we are stuck on the Kukra River in the deep jungles of Nicaragua, it is getting dark and the animals are now coming to life. It quickly became time to figure out how to get out of that predicament.

I have just returned from Monkey Point, Nicaragua where we enjoyed a week of celebration. We were there to deliver a new boat, Miss Megan, to the people of the village. She will be used by the villagers as part of our overall ministry in that part of the world.

I have just walked in the door from Nicaragua where Rivers of the World (ROW) launched its newest boat named Miss Megan. Miss Megan will be used by the villagers of Monkey Point to deliver crops to market. This is a microeconomic project that will help these people to grow closer to each other and also assist them in making a little money with this endeavor.
