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.

Technology is such a wonderful tool, especially with the ministry of Rivers of the World (ROW). ROW staff member, Drew McIlreavy, and ROW Executive Administrator, 3, were recently in two different parts of the world but both were equipped with wonderful satellite technology.

Let me ask you a question today. During your walk as a Christian have there been times when you wrestled with issues of faith, or lack thereof? We don’t need to feel guilty about not always having a faith that can move mountains. God knows the very intentions of our heart and He doesn’t mind if we come before Him and question what is taking place in our lives. The Lord also doesn’t mind if we argue or even get upset with Him at times. His love for us is boundless and not dependent upon how much faith we have or don’t have.

Many of you have been closely following the recent developments in Monkey Point, Nicaragua. Rivers of the World’s (ROW) adventures in Monkey Point are detailed on our web site. In case you haven’t heard, Iranian Revolutionary Guard soldiers landed in Monkey Point and want to build a deep water port and place a canal across Nicaragua. They also want to open an embassy in Managua.

You and I both know that there are just some things that have to be proved because they are just beyond belief. For example, I had a recent situation with 3, Rivers of the World’s (ROW) administrator. She knew I was in Prague visiting my wife, Mickie, who flew in from the Middle East, where she is currently living while serving as a Fulbright Scholar in Qatar.

No one really noticed Lolita because she was just the housekeeper. Oh, the family was grateful for Lolita, but they never really paid much attention to this dear woman. That was until the family was pinned down in the middle of a battle during a horrible civil war.

Most of the time, I simply drive right on by and don’t pay any attention. Sometimes, though, when my eyes see them they make me laugh, are very poignant and make me think. But, I usually don’t notice them. You are probably wondering what I am talking about—billboards.

As the beginning of this new year unfolds, there are two things that I would like to tell you. First, happy New Year!

During the dry season, around May to October, in areas south of the Equator in Africa, the rivers either disappear completely or turn into a little trickle. My wife, Mickie, and I were near Kinshasa in the Congo and walked in a dry riverbed filled with thousands of people.

It is Monday morning, the alarm clock alerts us that it is time to get up and get ready for work. We hit the snooze button and roll over to catch a few more minutes of sleep. Some of us just have a difficult time functioning in the morning.
