MIDEAST UPDATE…1/30/2024…”White As Snow”

As Christ-followers, one of the most important parts of the message we share with the world around us is the fact that mankind, in its fallen condition, needs redemption. This necessitates a supernatural act. The only hope for mankind is the supernatural provision which came by way of Jesus Christ, His crucifixion and the power of His shed blood to […]

MIDEAST UPDATE…1/10/2024…”This World Is Not Our Home”

As we begin an already turbulent year of 2024, it is important for all of us, as believers and followers of Jesus Christ, to keep our bearing and maintain a proper perspective on what our lives here on this earth are all about and where we are going. We must remember we are just passing through. The Apostle Peter put […]

MIDEAST UPDATE…12/19/2023…”WHAT CHILD IS THIS?”

Greetings Everyone: A well known verse of Scripture that is brought to the forefront of our thoughts at this time of year is found in Micah 5:2. It reads: But you, Bethlehem Ephrathah, though you are little among the thousands of Judah, yet out of you shall come forth from Me the One to be Ruler in Israel, Whose goings […]

MIDEAST UPDATE…12/5/2023…”Planting Seed”

Greetings Everyone: In my latest conversation with brother Talal, we discussed the week or relative quiet experienced due to the temporary pause in the war between the Hamas terrorists and the Israeli Defense Force. During this time, Hamas required an exchange of three Palestinians for every hostage released. The hostages released were primarily women, elderly, and children. The prisoners also […]

MIDEAST UPDATE….10/31/2023….”Only One Life To Live”

I have a very short Mideast update today but before I share it, I would like to share a few short thoughts that I may or may have not shared at some time in the past. I have several devotionals that I read most every day. One of them is Jonathan Cahn’s “Book of Mysteries.” A devotional I’ve read several […]

MIDEAST UPDATE…10/17/2023…”Wars, Rumors and Threats of Wars”

The Mideast Updates are generally focused on what is happening in regard to the missionary work of the House of the Blessing. As most of the world knows, however, Israel was viciously attacked by the Hamas terrorist group and because of the extreme brutality and extent of the attack, Israel is left with no option but to do everything in […]

MIDEAST UPDATE…10/14/2023…”Be Still and Know I’m GOD!”

Greetings Everyone: I wanted to send out a very short special update because so many have been concerned about the safety of Brother Talal and others in light of the things that are happening in Israel. I spoke to him a couple days ago and he confirmed many of the things that we’ve heard in the news concerning the devastating […]

MIDEAST UPDATE…10/9/2023…”A Little Boy Walks!”

I know that everyone is wondering how Pastor R is doing. I was able to get an update from Brother Talal but he said his condition has not changed. He is still in a coma and is on total life-support. My prayer, as well as yours I’m sure, is that God would either raise him up to where he can […]

MIDDLE EAST UPDATE….10/2/2023….The Tattering of our ‘Tents’

Anyone who has read the latest update is aware that Pastor R is in a serious health condition, with latest information being that he is in a coma. The doctors have said that due to the length of time that he did not receive the oxygen needed, it is a high probability that he has sustained  serious brain damage. I […]

MIDEAST UPDATE…8/9/2023…”Everlasting to Everlasting”

A question that comes to mind at times, and badgers us as believers, is will God’s love for me truly endure? Will it continue even through my failings and sinful mistakes? Can my own weaknesses as a Christ-follower ever wear down His love for me?  Psalm 103:17 tells us that The love (mercy) of the LORD is from everlasting to […]
