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.

No Standing Still
The holidays are over and it is now January, time to go back to school, to work and for me, it means it is time to get back on the road. I have already scheduled trips for this year in the United States and abroad. I would sure like to be listed on your church calendar if I’m not already!

Second Greatest Command
Has the current economic crisis of our nation and the troubling times abroad prompted you to make some extreme changes in your life? Many people are overwhelmed with fear because their financial situation has changed drastically. I can get scared as well from traveling to so many different places. It would be easy for me to think, “I don’t know anybody in this place and this is going to be frightening because everything is new and challenging.”

Share the Gospel
This may sound corny but exploring the unknown motivates my soul! There is not anything in the world that gets me more excited than heading off to somewhere I have never been before.

Authentic Freedom
How did you celebrate Independence Day this year? Independence Day, also known as the Fourth of July, is one of my favorite holidays. For whatever reason, I am always in another country when this holiday occurs. This year, I was, and still am, in a country that has been ruled by several dictators over the course of the history of Argentina. That is not freedom.

His Divine Plan
If you keep your eyes open you will notice that the Lord places people in your path just when you need them. Let me give you a recent example. I ran into my friend Allison, whom I haven’t seen in about two years, and asked her, “Tell me what you’re up to these days.” Would you believe she is getting ready to go to Mongolia, live with a nomadic tribe and spend her time residing in a yurt, better known as a ger in Mongolia. These dome-shaped structures are designed to withstand the harsh weather conditions in this country, located in East and Central Asia, near Russia and China.

Sacrifice of Praise
When you travel as much as I do it happens all the time. What am I talking about? I’m talking about being surrounded by germs. You know I would love to come see you but traveling there would likely mean that I would be stuck on a plane sitting next to some kid coughing his head off with a terrible cold. That would mean I would probably get exposed to his germs and frankly, that just gives me the creeps!

Make Disciples
Have you ever spent a leisurely afternoon watching nature programs featuring the migration of animals? You witness Barren Ground Caribou numbering in the tens of thousands traveling hundreds of miles between their summer and wintering grounds. In another segment you watch the massive wildebeest of the Serengeti-Mara area of East Africa during their migration. Most of us have also watched shows featuring salmon enduring their long journey from their oceanic feeding grounds to their freshwater spawning grounds. These migrations are remarkable and quite impressive.

To the Ends of the Earth
Do you have a few moments for us to do a quick survey? Rivers of the World (ROW) has just purchased satellite equipment that will enable us to do a live broadcast from very remote jungles around the world. We could broadcast live over the Internet through a video conferencing site.

Eternal Perspective
People often ask me how I manage to travel to so many countries and cities every year and keep my wits about myself. On average, I visit about 200 cities a year and I am in a different country every month. How do I manage all this traveling, you might ask. My secret is wherever I am I consider myself to be home. Whenever I get off a plane and whenever I get out of a car the first thing I say is, “I’m home!” and then I don’t feel like I need to be somewhere else.
