“FOR UNTO US A CHILD IS BORN”

“To Him all the prophets witness that, through His name, whoever believes in Him will receive remission of sins.” Acts 10:43 The true story of why we celebrate Christmas has to do with the coming of the only-begotten Son of God into the world by taking on a human body in order to redeem the fallen human race.

MIDEAST UPDATE…7/20/2019…The Book of Acts Continues…

It’s a reality for them right now…TODAY!  As I was readying myself to write this week’s update, I could not help but […]

MIDEAST UPDATE, May 25, 2015

As readers of these Mideast Updates will know, the last couple updates brought to our attention difficult events that required serious prayer because only intervention from God would spare Pastor R*****, at the very least, the loss of his legs, and the possibility of death from shrapnel wounds. As you remember, our pastor friend was seriously injured when a bomb […]
