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….6/19/2025….”Accelerating Harvest”
For today’s update I am transcribing a report forwarded to me by Sister Rolla directly from Syria. It is a brief rundown on some of the areas of ministry by the House of Blessing within the nation. This is not an exhaustive summary of all HOB ministries within Syria but it will give you at least a brief idea […]
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…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….5/16/2025….”The Power of the Word of GOD”
Anyone who has read the Mideast Updates in the past weeks will realize that the powerful work of the Holy Spirit working through God’s people has escalated. We may not see much of it in the West, but it is definitely happening in third world nations. God is not willing that any perish and He will use anyone willing to […]
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….5/7/2025….”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….4/22/2025….”The Search For Truth”
One of the most iconic questions of all time was when Jesus was being interrogated by Pontus Pilate. Jesus had just said to him, “Everyone who is of the truth hears My voice.” Pilate then asked him, rather sarcastically, “What is truth?” That is a good question today as well. Jesus had warned of deception many times. In our world, […]
MIDEAST UPDATE….4/13/2025….”In The World You Will Have Tribulation”
These past few days have been quite eventful in the lives of the House of Blessing missionaries. It was planned last week for groups of HOB leaders to go to a number of strategically selected mosques this past Friday. As you know, Fridays are the day that Muslims gather at their mosques for a sermon and prayer. Al-Hidmi, Azmi, Hab […]
