Listen to the Shepherd’s Voice
It all started when Drew drove over a wooden splinter, which lodged into a tire on his truck. We pulled into Raffield Tire-Master in Macon, GA, walked into the door and learned an incredible lesson.

Turn Passion Into Action
I just love the impact radio has on its listeners. I headed to Texas recently to see my friend, Charles Johnson, who listened to the radio and before he knew it, he was headed overseas on a mission trip.

Power of Prayer
Rivers of the World’s (ROW) radio audience has been so very kind to me that I must take a moment to say thank you and may God richly bless you for your prayers. I know many of you prayed fervently for months for my wife, Dr. Mickie Mathes, as she underwent 12 difficult rounds of chemotherapy.

Proclaim His Blessings
It is that time of the year that we look forward to a new year and we reflect on the year that has gone by. There are about three things that stand out in my mind when I look back upon the radio ministry of Rivers of the World (ROW) in 2008. First and foremost is the abundant care and concern our radio listeners showed me and my wife, Mickie, during her recent battle with cancer. She is still fighting this battle so please continue to pray for her and for all those enduring similar situations.

Feast On His Word
I told her that I would pass on this idea so I am going to do it. My parents, better known as Nanny and PawPaw, live in Memphis, Tenn. I was speaking with Nanny recently and she asked how my wife, Mickie, was handling her cancer treatments. Mickie, who is currently living in the Middle East, is struggling, but she is strong. Nonetheless, please continue to keep her in your prayers.

Beyond Words
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.

Give
Most folks are not crazy about having to pay their bills and I am no different. What I do enjoy is writing checks and playing on PayPal as a means of blessing others. It is that time of the year when I sit down, take a checkbook and review all the ministries that I love and pray for and I send them a gift.

Proclaim His Wondrous Works
I just love to be reminded that we can serve as missionaries right here in America. I just had an opportunity to be a missionary at a church in the great state of Texas. In Georgia where I live, people are kind, humble and quiet. In Texas, I discovered everything is big, bold and people get excited.

His Provisions Are Limitless
God will provide. I want you to grab a hold of what I just said—God will indeed provide and meet every need we have beyond measure.
