As the dark shadow of the approaching Great Tribulation comes ever closer, the more we as followers of Jesus must realize that what little time we have left on this earth, is crucial. If we are still here and breathing, it means that God still has a specific purpose for each of us. There are unfortunately those who, out of […]
MIDEAST UPDATE….3/2/2023….”Feed My Sheep”
John 16:33: “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.” Until our KING of Kings takes the throne of our planet, people will continue to experience tragedies of many kinds. We live in a fallen world and […]
MIDEAST UPDATE….6/11/2022….”Work While it is Day, Night is Coming…”
It has been about two weeks since I wrote the last update. The deadly attack on the HOB School of Ministry about three weeks ago had left most everyone that was connected with it in shock. It was not the only attack of its kind that the House of Blessing has experienced over the years but, nonetheless, a very hard […]
MIDEAST UPDATE…12/21/2021…”Jesus Christ, the Same, Yesterday, Today, and Forever!”
The first thing I thought of this morning–after I thanked God for allowing me to wake up to another day of life, is that today, December 21st is the shortest day of the year. Starting on 12/22/2021, the daylight hours become a slight bit longer every day. That means we are now three months from springtime! This is also Christmas […]
MIDEAST UPDATE…12/1/2021…”In This World You Will Be Persecuted but I Have Overcome…”
As believers in Jesus and His message to the world, we have all learned how important The Great Commission is. For some people it is a very distinct road they travel in order to fulfill this command. For others, fulfilling this commission is not as obvious. Many of us don’t feel that our personal lives are all that remarkable but […]
UPDATE: Pastor R
I want to thank each and everyone that prayed for Pastor R and his surgery yesterday. I received a quick note to let me know all went well and he is recovering. Let’s continue to cover him in prayer. This was his second surgery to remove cancerous growths in the area of his stomach. Let’s pray that he does not […]
MIDEAST UPDATE….2/20/2021….”The Tent World”
As we find ourselves in the last days of February, 2021, most of us are already looking forward to spring. That is certainly the case in the Middle East, especially in the northern areas. I spoke with Pastor R just prior to the arrival of a snow storm and the House of Blessing missionaries were doing what they could […]
MIDEAST UPDATE…9/16/2019
It seems that the epicenter of the world is moving from one crisis to another. The populations are often used as pawns and also become expendable as major powers struggle for control and warring factions fight to hang onto territories they have gained some control over. This is particularly the case in Idlib province in northwestern Syria. There are varying […]
MIDEAST UPDATE 6/1/2019….God is in Always in Control
As the conclusion of the Muslim month of Ramadan is just days away, we praise the Lord of the Harvest. Many souls have been reached once again that have become part of the Kingdom of God. At the same time, we see the temperature rising in the relationships between the nations of the Mideast. The escalation of tensions are clear […]
MIDEAST UPDATE, 9/29/2014
I have had several direct calls from the Middle East in the last week, each one more awe-inspiring than the one before it. I am afraid it is way too easy for those of us living in the West where life still has some semblance of normalcy, to see the rest of the world as something off of this planet. […]
