Week after week in these updates, I share a little bit of the news coming out of the Mideast. One of the reasons I do so is because many people do not pay much attention to the news. I was talking to a banker friend a couple of days ago and asked her if she was aware of the latest […]
MIDEAST UPDATE 7/20/ 2017
This week’s update is in two parts, the second part being a story that comes directly from people in Mosul who are experiencing the reality of the civil war battleground that is both Iraq and Syria today. This story will be on line in a couple days. Many people hear little or no news about what is actually happening in […]
MIDEAST UPDATE 6/28/2017
As we find ourselves at the end of June 2017, the Muslims of the world have come to the end of the month of Ramadan. For the House of Blessing missionaries, it is time to regroup, recoup, and ask the Lord for His guidance for the days ahead. Much prayer has gone up from around the world for this year’s […]
MIDEAST UPDATE 6/22/2017
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 […]
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 commented before that what is happening on the ground there is just like what we read about in the book of Acts. I pray that the Lord will take this update and make it as real to the heart […]
MIDEAST UPDATE 5/22/2017
It is a bit longer than normal since the last update was made available but it is because Pastor R has been in areas that do not all have phone reception. He has been traveling from village to village to teach, encourage, and pray for the many hundreds that he is visiting. He had to make a point of having […]
MIDEAST UPDATE 5/8/2017
As the days wind down toward the end of May when the Muslim month of Ramadan begins, House of Blessing is praying about how to make the most of the yearly opportunity. One reason that it has been so successful over the last few years is because, as the Muslim people begin to fast and pray during this yearly event, […]
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. The epicenter of the entire earth however will continue to be in the Middle East until our Lord, the KING of Kings, comes to take control for His promised 1,000 year millennial reign. The fallen Lucifer knows the Bible and is well aware that the Jewish people […]
MIDEAST UPDATE, 4/1/2017
Many times in these updates I have mentioned how great a miracle it is for every single soul that is reached with the Gospel news pronouncing that man can have the assurance of forgiveness and the promise of an eternity in God’s heaven. Those of us that have grown up raised in a church where this was taught, may take […]
