Dear faithful supporters and friends,

As a trustee of the International Third World Leaders Association (ITWLA), Joe Schneider was invited to their recent conference in the Bahamas. Shortly after his arrival, it became evident that Joe was unwell. He was admitted to hospital where it was found that he had Malaria and Pneumonia. After treatment in intensive care, Joe is now in a serious but stable condition. The doctors expect a full recovery, but rest is needed to facilitate this.

Anyone that has met Joe knows how passionate he is about River of Life's work overseas. Be assured that this work is continuing! Therefore, funds are still needed to support the work in India and Africa.

We ask that you continue to support his ministry through whichever ways the Lord leads you. We know that prayer is powerful, and so we ask that you would uphold Joe in prayer at this time- he wants a rapid recovery, as we all do.

Thankyou for your love and concern for Joe. We will keep you updated as we receive more news.

May God bless you and keep you, may His face shine upon you.
