For regular readers, you will have noticed an increase in the frequency of newsletters being sent out. This is because I am receiving new information daily, sometimes several times a day. Please take the time to read clear to the end if you have a heart for the ministry of the House of Blessing. I know they can tend to […]
MIDEAST UPDATE….1/10/2026….”Against All Odds”
In my previous update, I mentioned a Syrian medical doctor, Dr. Nibras. I received a couple more messages from Dr. Nibras as well as from brother Abdelrahem. For regular readers of these newsletters, you will have noticed an increase in the frequency being sent out. This is because I am receiving new information daily, sometimes several times a day.

MIDEAST UPDATE….1/7/2026….”The Mysterious Ways of God”
In the previous update I shared the story of the supernatural escape from a mountain cave in northern Iran by Abdelrahem, Hayel, Arshid, and Ma’touq. As unusual as it was, unusual interventions have been reported by the House of Blessing missionaries for a long time. The number of these events has, however, escalated as we come closer to the end […]
MIDEAST UPDATE….1/5/2026….”Angels On Assignment”
Today’s update includes another very unusual story. But before sharing it, I would like to highlight scriptures that are applicable to today’s news: 7 The angel of the Lord encamps all around those who fear Him, and delivers them. 8 Oh, taste and see that the LORD is good; blessed is the man who trusts in Him! Psalm 34:7-8 3 Surely […]
MIDEAST UPDATE….12/31/2025….”The God of Jacob is our Refuge”
Today’s Mideast Update includes three separate messages which I received from our brother Abdelrahem. Please take the time to read the entire report. It is quite comprehensive and includes details we, as fellow servants of the Lord, need to be aware of as supporters of the House of Blessing. They very much need our prayer support and any financial support […]
MIDEAST UPDATE….12/30/2025….”The Fellowship of Suffering”
Philippians 3:10: “….that I may know Him and the power of His resurrection, and the fellowship of His sufferings, being conformed to his death…” The first thing I thought of as I read this Scripture today was the familiar hymn, “It is well with my soul.” The first few words of the hymn are: “When peace like a river attendeth […]
MIDEAST UPDATE….12/24/2025….”One Day at a Time”
As we celebrate Christmas and what it represents, I think of Luke 1:38: Mary responded, “I am the Lord’s servant. May everything you have said about me come true.” We all know the storyline. The angel Gabrielle came to let her know she had been chosen by God to bear the Messiah in her womb. She of course had questions, […]
MIDEAST UPDATE….12/20/2025….”Racing To The Finish Line”
Most of us have wondered what it is going to be like during the millennial kingdom of Christ. Almost since the very beginning, our earth has been contested territory. God’s promises are nearly always contested by deception, delays, or distractions. God’s people are relentlessly tempted and tested. At the very time that two prophesied deliverers (Moses and Jesus) came to […]
MIDEAST UPDATE….”Divine Intervention”….12/16/2025
Today’s update is focused primarily on a very unusual event that happened in northern Syria. I will not mention the exact location. This was an event that transpired when House of Blessing elders Abdelrahem, Hayel, and Arshid had gone to make their own assessment of the situation involving the tragic events of the last few days. There were a number […]
MIDEAST UPDATE…12/14/2025….”God is our Refuge and Strength, a Present Help in Times of Trouble”
Have you ever found yourself amazed at the grace of God? We ask ourselves why He loves us as much as He does. What do we have to offer? Yet, the great God, the Creator of everything that there is, took on the form of a man of flesh and blood and lived — in order to let fallen men […]
