MIDEAST UPDATE 5/6/2019 As I thought about how to approach today’s update, I thought about the perilous times in which so many missionaries today find themselves, particularly in the Middle East. As I write today, we have yet to hear any news concerning Sisters Mufiedah and Sarah, and brother Omar since they were arrested a few weeks ago for sharing […]
MIDEAST UPDATE 4/17/2019 “Father Forgive Them…”

MIDEAST UPDATE 4/9/2019….GOD IS AMAZING!
In today’s Mideast Update, I have another astonishing story of God’s grace and forgiveness to share and also a very special prayer need to bring to your attention. I will share the prayer need first.

MIDEAST UPDATE 3/11/2019 Is War Near?
This week is the eighth anniversary of the beginning of Syria’s civil war. One would think that the regime in Syria would be more than anxious for the end of the nightmare that the people of Syria have been going through. Yet, even after millions of Syrian civilians have left the nation and millions more have been displaced within the […]
MIDEAST UPDATE 11/20/2018 “And The Miracles Multiply!”
The encounter with one of God’s angels that Pastor Farid had after having been left for dead from his injuries in a garbage dump is a story that brings encouragement and also great praise to our God. We find these words about angels in the Book of Hebrews: …Are they not all ministering spirits sent forth to minister for those […]
MIDEAST UPDATE 11/5/2018 “Harvest Time!”
One of the wondrous things that happens when a person becomes a true follower of Yeshua / Jesus, is a heart change within. The Apostle Paul described it this way in 2 Corinthians: Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new. Now all things are of […]
MIDEAST UPDATE 10/8/2018 “Racing To The Finish Line!”
As we watch the threats of a major Mideast war continue to escalate, we are reminded that the House of Blessing missionaries are in great need of our prayers and support. Most of the HOB missionaries that are embedded within the populations have had the chance to relocate to safer areas but have chosen not to. The calling they […]
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 […]
MIDEAST UPDATE 8/30/2018 Souls Passing Into Eternity
Lately, every time I get ready to write a House of Blessing Update, I wonder if the Mideast will erupt into a large scale war before I can even finish the update. War has been expected in the region for several years. The Middle East became embroiled in the so-called Arab Spring and Syria’s civil war which has now gone […]

In order to get this out quickly, I will write the regular Mideast Update in a second posting to the blog site. It wasn’t all that long ago when an urgent request was sent out for special prayer for Pastor R concerning […]
