Through my travels, I have confronted radical Islam through the Iranian Revolutionary Guard based in Nicaragua, through Al-Qaeda in Iraq and through the Sunni Muslim Palestinian Islamic organization, also known as the Islamic Resistance Movement, which has infiltrated parts of Paraguay.

I am just convinced that the devil puts things in our path to try his best to discourage us. I have been trying to make my computer work for longer than I care to remember!

“Well, you know in these tough economic times we are just not sure how many people will show up for the conference.” That is what my friend said at the beginning of organizing a conference for church planters. In fact, the organization is called churchplanters.com.

The annual Rivers of the World (ROW) board meeting was held recently and it was a lot of fun. Yeah, right! All kidding aside, it really was fun.

Our team worked among the Warao tribe in a remote area of Venezuela planting the Gospel by using copies of the Jesus Film translated into their language.
