MIDEAST UPDATE…3/30/2023…”Even The Very Old…!

In the last update, dated 3/23/2023, I shared the story of “The Dead Branch.” As is usually the case, the effects of God’s miracles and interventions continue after the initial miracle has happened. The story of Ayaet Rahmani’s challenge to Omar and what God did to meet his challenge, is spreading far and wide. Hundreds of people have already found […]

MIDEAST UPDATE…3/17/2021…Our GOD Never Leaves Us, Nor Forsakes Us

As I was recalling my last conversation with Pastor R, I thought back on the difficulties that our friend has gone through over the years. Snippets came to mind of stories about the first Omar, back in 2012 and 2013, when he took the first handful of Bibles over the border from Jordan into Iraq and subsequently started a House […]

Chronology of the Seals in Revelation 6…..Part Seven

As we prepare to discuss the details surrounding the opening of the Sixth Seal of Revelation 6 with an earthquake which the Bible foretells to be the most devastating quake in human history up to that point in time, it is important that a little groundwork be laid first.  So far in our study of Seals 1-5, although there have […]

MIDEAST UPDATE…2/23/2023…”Jesus Is The Resurrection And The Life”

As most know by this time, the death toll from the great February 6 quake is inching closer to 50,000 every day. The latest count I have been able to find is 47,244. That is a combined death count between Turkey and Syria. At least 164,000 buildings were destroyed. Many of the House of Blessing missionaries have joined those trying […]

MIDEAST UPDATE….2/16/2023….”Goin’ Home”

In light of world events lately, life and death are on the minds of many—especially with the latest catastrophic loss of life from the twin earthquakes just over the northern border of Syria in Turkey. The Bible has many things to say about life and death, especially for the true believer. One of these is found in 2 Corinthians 5:1-4: […]

MIDEAST UPDATE…2/9/2023…”The Lord Is Our Stronghold…No Matter What!”

It is hard to believe it has only been four days (at the time this update will post) since the massive earthquakes that devastated Turkey and Syria. The feared number of 20,000 deaths was surpassed some hours ago today, Thursday, February 9. Judging by the extensive devastation among such a large population, the number of dead is sure to climb […]

MIDEAST UPDATE….1/14/2023….”Trusting God In All Things”

Today’s update is more in the form of a prayer request and so won’t be long. I received a call from Pastor R and need to pass on the information he related to me.  Many of us around the world have been experiencing uncommon weather patterns. It is common to have hot and cold weather in their seasons but something […]

MIDEAST UPDATE…12/12/2022…”In The Fullness of Time”

It seems every year goes by a bit faster than the one before. I am having a hard time getting my head around the fact that we are only days from the end of 2022. Amazing! But, here we are. One thing that gives us great hope is the fact that the Lord has brought us that much closer to […]

MIDEAST UPDATE…12/1/2022…The Harvest Fields are Ripe!”

Today’s Mideast Update will be a short one but Pastor R has asked special prayer for the HOB missionaries, particularly in the northern areas up against the Turkish border. Many of you may not be aware but Turkey’s President Erdogan has indicated his intent to begin the ground phase of Operation Claw-Sword. He wants to clear the southern borders of […]

MIDEAST UPDATE…11/22/2022…”And They Shall Lay Hands on the Sick…”

Pastor R called me the other day and shared details of another extraordinary story for me to share with you. Just before I do, I would like to refer to a passage written by the prophet Ezekiel. He described a most extraordinary vision; he saw cherubim, the Throne of GOD, and saw a “MAN” which he did his best to […]
