Throughout Church history, there have been seasons during which the Spirit of God moved in spectacular waves. During those times, there were great harvests of souls. The first one, of course, was at Pentecost. Although it is not seen as much in the West–at least not since the great Jesus Revolution in the late 70’s to late 80’s–there are great […]
MIDEAST UPDATE….6/16/2025….”God Can Speak Anywhere…Even At The Hajj!”
Sometimes we think the best place for a person to find Jesus as their Savior is in a church service. Yet, the New Testament presents us with many examples of Jesus meeting people at whatever station or situation they might be in. He was often criticized for this. An example of this is found in Mark 2: 15 Now it […]
MIDEAST UPDATE….6/10/2025….”God’s Two-Fold Agenda”
Most of us are familiar with the story of Jesus reading from Isaiah’s scroll while in the synagogue in Nazareth. Luke records it this way: 16“He went to Nazareth, where he had been brought up, and on the Sabbath day he went into the synagogue, as was his custom. And he stood up to read. 17The scroll of the prophet […]
MIDEAST UPDATE….6/2/2025….”In This World You Will Have Trouble…”
Jesus did not hide the fact from the disciples that they would have trouble in the world because of their belief in Him. We find one of these warnings in John 15: 18 “If the world hates you, you know that it hated Me before it hated you. 19 If you were of the world, the world would love its […]
MIDEAST UPDATE….5/30/2025….Power of the Gospel
We find these words in Acts 5: 14 And believers were increasingly added to the Lord, multitudes of both men and women,15 so that they brought the sick out into the streets and laid them on beds and couches, that at least the shadow of Peter passing by might fall on some of them.16 Also a multitude gathered from the […]
MIDEAST UPDATE…5/20/2025….”They Realized They Had Been With Jesus”
It is hard to argue with cold hard facts. More and more we are seeing how our Heavenly Father is intervening in some of the most intense situations in order to reach deep into the hearts of the spiritually blind. Today’s episodes will once again show the love of God for the lost. 13 Now when they saw the boldness […]
MIDEAST UPDATE….5/12/2025….”All Creation Groans”
One passage in the Bible which has more meaning to me every passing day is found in Romans, the eighth chapter: 18 For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us. 19 For the earnest expectation of the creation eagerly waits for the revealing […]
MIDEAST UPDATE….5/8/2025….”Unexpected Interventions”
As has been the case so many times, in the midst of great times of reaching people with the Good News of the Gospel, tragedy strikes. I received reports of two such incidents in the last few days. The first happened in the Sweida region. Several of the teachers and students were attacked and severely beaten. The second was near […]
MIDEAST UPDATE….5/7/2025….”The Time is Now!”
Below, you will find a letter I received today from brother Abdelrahem. It was sent by him personally and translated into English by Sister Rolla and passed on to me. I did a minor bit of editing, but less than normal so you hear the words directly from Abdelrahem’s heart. There is a full update coming out tomorrow morning, if […]
MIDEAST UPDATE….5/6/2025….”A Table in the Presence of the Enemy”
I apologize this update is coming out at the last minute and without proper editing. Some of you may be aware that there some severe attacks in the last couple days on the House of Blessing. I don’t have all the details yet but two groups of teachers and their students were severely attacked. A few of those who pray […]
