At a time of the year when the Muslim people of the world are observing Ramadan, a time of fasting, prayer, and reflection, terrorist groups are using the month to showcase their hatred even more than normal. According to the NTEB website, the first 27 days of Ramadan have so far resulted in 152 Islamic terror attacks globally, resulting in […]

As the Lord promised, He has anointed His people to preach and teach the Word of God with great power and authority in these crucial times.

MIDEAST UPDATE 6/6/2017
The House of Blessing missionaries are experiencing some things that you and I would love to witness in person.

I have been out of my office for a few days but want to pass on the most recent information that I have received in my last two conversations with Pastor R.

RETAKING THE SHIP
I ran into an interesting article written into the form of a dream by author Bryan Hupperts. For those that will take the time to ponder, much can be gleaned through the words.
