In light of the fact that Resurrection weekend is only a month away, six consecutive teaching articles will be uploaded in quick succession. The true identity of Jesus as the Son of God, the WORD, will be taught by missionaries in the Middle East during the Muslim month of Ramadan — which, incidentally, happens to intersect with the weekend we […]
MIDEAST UPDATE…4/26/2022…”God’s Amazing Grace!”
Over the years that I’ve written updates for the House of Blessing, there have been many accounts of horrific things that HOB missionaries have gone through.
