In the last couple Mideast Updates, I have shared some of the information of what the House of Blessing is dealing with right now, especially in northern Syria. The infectious disease, Cholera, has spread quickly, where, as you know, millions have been displaced by the decade-long civil war are trying to survive, mostly in tent cities. Many of these camps […]
MIDEAST UPDATE…9/18/2022…”God’s Love in Action”
Even though there was only one Apostle Paul, variations of his salvation story can be told by countless believers and followers of Jesus today, who at one time had declared themselves His enemies. A small portion of Paul’s lengthy testimony before King Agrippa of His encounter with Jesus on the road to Damascus reads this way: 13 “…at midday, O […]
MIDEAST UPDATE…9/1/2022…”When You See These Things Beginning, LOOK UP!”
Notice these words Jesus said to His disciples, including all of us who are His followers today: “These things I have spoken to you, that in Me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world.” Matthew 16:33 There is a growing number of people everywhere realizing that […]
MIDEAST UPDATE….8/2/2022….”Whether I Live or Die…”
I thought of a couple passages of Scripture as I prepared to write this short update. The first is found in Psalm 27: The LORD is my light and my salvation: Whom shall I fear? The LORD is the strength of my life, of whom shall I be afraid? When the wicked came against me to eat up my flesh, […]
MIDEAST UPDATE…6/15/2019…God Never Fails
Over the past 7+ years I have had the privilege of writing these updates for the House of Blessing, God’s answers to prayer and His miracles have come in many forms, but year after year God has proven His presence with His faithful missionaries. Many stunning miracles have been witnessed; even the dead being raised before the eyes of onlookers. […]
MIDEAST UPDATE 2/8/2019 Our GOD is a Miracle Working God!
For those that may think that miracles don’t happen in our time, this may be a difficult story to accept, but it has happened before and it has happened again! Our God is sovereign and He will do what He decides to do when it is the right time to do so. We find one of the accounts of Jesus […]
AUTHOR and FINISHER…Messiah Part Four
The Church That Lost its First Love After the Messiah revealed Himself to John the Apostle in the first chapter of Revelation, He gives him a message for seven specific churches of the many in existence at that time in what today is modern Turkey. Jesus was not only speaking to these seven churches with facts descriptive of their individual […]
One More Miracle…So Many More Souls! 11/19/2018
In the 7 years that we have been associated with House of Blessing, we have heard and shared many stories of miracles, seldom seen in the West, that have changed people by the grace of the One True God and Savior, Jesus Christ. While the greatest miracle is always a person’s changed heart in repentance leading to salvation, it is […]
MIDEAST UPDATE 10/23/2018 “ALMOST THERE!!”
I titled the previous Mideast Update, “Racing to the Finish Line,” and it truly is a race. Our world is in trouble but we serve Someone who is greater than the world or its problems. It is He that put us on this earth and it is He who chose the slot in time for us to be here. He […]
MIDEAST UPDATE 9/25/2918
I am presently on a very short trip away from my home state but want to at least get a quick update out since it has been longer than usual since the last one. The situation in the northern part of Syria is not good. Although there has been a temporary hold put on the large military campaign that is […]
