Am I Ever Going to Get Out of Here

Rev. Dr. Ben Mathes is one of the most engaging thrilling and articulate storytellers around today. His words bring you into the story and the story and its characters come off the page and into your livingroom as you read. For over 35 years Ben has travelled the world loving people in the name of Jesus. For the past 20 years that has been through Rivers of the World (ROW) www.row.org the organization he founded. To read the pages of this book is to walk alongside Ben in the jungles of places like Venezuela Peru and the Congo. Youll ride with him in the boat as he travels the Amazon River the Mamano the Oroso and many others. His stories will take you to places you will likely never have the opportunity to visit (and to some places youd never want to visit either) as he has reached out to provide loving care for Gods people for 4 decades.To know Ben is to love him. For 18 years Ive had the privilege of calling Ben my friend. Weve walked together through war disease and famine that you will likely never experience beyond the pages of this book. Weve experienced great joy as lives have been transformed and hope has been restored where it had been lost for centuries. Weve laughed cried and prayed together and God has used Ben Mathes to literally change the world.Reading this book will be like sitting in a pew while Ben shares stories of his life in a sermon or at a table with him over tea as he captivates you with the unfolding of his lifes experiences. By the end of the journey youll be different and youll likely want to make a greater difference as well.ENJOY!
