Many people in today’s world, even those that may not claim to be religious, are beginning to recognize that we are living in a time like none before.

MIDEAST UPDATE 4/22/2017
Five years ago when I began writing the Mideast Update (originally called Jerusalem Updates), I would never have believed that I would still have the privilege of writing these updates today. Here we are, already one third of the way through the year 2017. Quite often I find myself looking back, remembering so many stories of the miracles, the sovereign […]
MIDEAST UPDATE 4/12/2017
It is amazing how quickly changes are happening all across the globe today.

In an update a few days ago, it was reported that in some locations within Syria there are often several military entities within hand-grenade distance of one another. Because of this, a small force of Americans has been deployed into the Manbij area. Their task is to ensure that the different parties in the area don’t attack each other–especially Turkish […]
STORY FROM SYRIA, Mideast Update, Part 1 3/10/2017

MIDEAST UPDATE 3/7/2017, Part 2
In John 16:33, Jesus warned the disciples with these words: …in this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.
