Much missionary work is going on in 2013, none more difficult than in the middle of the civil war going on in Syria. A ministry run by House Of Blessing, Jerusalem is in the thick of it and are paying a very heavy price to share the love of God to people who have no hope, nor have they ever heard of the God of love who paid the price for mankind’s freedom, eternally. This is the last installment of a 16 month saga by H.O.B. and its humble founder.
JERUSALEM UPDATE, August 4, 2013
Since the last “House Of Blessing” update was uploaded I have had two additional contacts with our Israeli pastor friend R*. I found his updates quite encouraging and again found more reason than ever to keep him and his volunteer missionaries not just in occasional prayer, but earnest prayer as the book of James calls for when it says that […]
JERUSALEM UPDATE, July 11, 2013
In the last few weeks, every weekly conversation I’ve had with House Of Blessing’s founder, R*, I’ve spoken to him in Syria. As most know who have read these updates, R* was badly injured weeks ago when he and two other men were attacked by ten men belonging to Hezbollah. While they proceeded to kill the three men slowly and […]
JERUSALEM UPDATE, July 2, 2013
In the last couple weeks I’ve heard from H.O.B. three times. One of the questions I’ve asked R* each time I’ve heard from him is how his health is. He always responds the same way, telling me that he is in God’s hands and so has no complaints. R* has faith that when the time is right, God will set […]
JERUSALEM UPDATE–May 25, 2013 (Time of the Essence!)
This post is a continuation of updates having to do with an underground Christian ministry to Muslims. The emphasis has been to show those who serve a prophet and god that advocates murdering infidels because they will not convert to Islam. Bibles are given free of charge and taken over the border around Israel, lately the emphasis being on Syria which is on the edge of total collapse. The founder of this ministry was nearly beaten to death with clubs and stoned by Hezbollah, but is still sharing the love of God. This is a genuine ministry of love to people who have been taught to hate and kill. God on the other hand is a God of love, compassion, and forgiveness. This is the message of this article.
JERUSALEM UPDATE-May 18, 2013
I got a call a few days ago from R*, the founder of House Of Blessing. At the time of his call, he himself was still in a wheelchair and not able to move much yet. But, he said that he was content that he was fulfilling exactly what God wanted out of him for the time being. He said […]
JERUSALEM UPDATE, May 4, 2013
Greetings to all of you: This is a very quick update as of a phone call I just received this morning directly from Syria. I am out of town for the weekend to welcome another grandchild into the world but brought my laptop with me. Those of you who are on my e-mail list know of the continuing work done […]
Short Jerusalem Update–April 30, 2013
Greetings All: Just a quick update on H.O.B. and R* who is literally sacrificing his life for the Messiah, Jesus of Nazareth. R* has serious injuries from the beating and stoning recently. He appears to have received substantial injuries to his nervous system, as well as other injuries that are not being relieved yet. He is still in Syria staying […]
JERUSALEM UPDATE–April 12, 2013
I just got a call this morning from our friend R*, pastor and founder of House Of Blessing, Jerusalem, Israel. The first thing he had to tell me was thank you for the funds that were provided within the last couple weeks. I want to add a special thank you to my own church home, Desert Song Community Church which […]

Any funds coming in […]
