Talk about a small world! I was in Punta Gorda, Belize with students from Hampden-Sydney College when my plans suddenly changed. We were building a maternity wing onto the local hospital and were cutting rebar, which is steel used in construction, when a piece of rebar snapped backed and impaled my arm.

My buddies from Hampden-Sydney College in Hampden-Sydney, Virginia recently joined me in Punta Gorda, Belize where we added a wing onto the local hospital. We poured 100 tons of concrete to create a second floor on the new maternity wing.

Sometimes I get so busy with the task at hand that I forget some of the basics, such as showing mercy and compassion. The Lord is so gracious to go out of His way to remind me to care for others.

Responding to God’s call is just not that difficult. You just have to do it. We had received word that there were children dying in a hospital in southern Belize. To me, that is absolutely not acceptable. We were told that they were not dying because of poor treatment, but instead, because that hospital didn’t have the equipment necessary to keep those children going and growing.

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.

One of the favorite television shows of folks here at Rivers of the World (ROW) is “Everybody Loves Raymond,” featuring lead characters Raymond Romano and two-time Emmy award winner Patricia Heaton. Ms. Heaton recently did a wonderful thing in support of ROW.

This may be my last recording because my tongue is on fire! While in Belize, I stopped by Victors for a little rice, beans and chicken. It was wonderful—especially with hot sauce poured on top. The combination of habanero peppers, little red peppers, green peppers, chili pepper, onions, garlic, oil and other ingredients was too much to resist.

Do you remember that classic Christian song, “They Will Know We Are Christians By Our Love?” In the village of Billy White, located in the western Cayo district of Belize, they know we are Christians because of our love for them.

This week I will be broadcasting by the miracle of wireless satellite technology. I am in the jungles of Southern Belize, 60 miles up the Temash River. We call our young staff “the boys in the band.” They have been working on something that has been a real blessing.

I want to take this opportunity today to send a big hallelujah to Pastor Joel Long of Eden, North Carolina. Joel and I attended seminary together, unbelievably, 30 years ago. The Lord has certainly blessed Joel’s ministry at First Presbyterian Church of Eden.
