Jesus warned us that there would be wars and rumors of wars, nation rising against nation, kingdom against kingdom, ethnic conflicts, and religious wars. As He foretold, this is exactly what has been happening between the time of His words being spoken just before He was crucified and the very moment of my writing this article. Since the first century, […]
MIDEAST UPDATE, 3/2/2015
After my phone call this week from Syria, I have made several attempts to write an update that truly reflects the nature of what is happening in the lives of House of Blessing’s missionaries and the thousands of refugees that they are ministering to. As I receive each update, I am reminded again and again of the unique time in […]
MIDEAST UPDATE, 2/25/2015
Many of you know that the mideast has been hit with one brutal winter storm after another. It is hard enough for a person under normal circumstances, but for those who are caught in the chaos of what has been going on in the Middle East, it has been insufferable. Last year was difficult as well. Many of you saw […]
MIDEAST UPDATE, 2/15/2015
I was out of my hometown at the time of my last update from the Middle East. As I took the call while visiting the Oregon Coast, I was walking through a neighborhood that is located right up next to the mighty Pacific Ocean, the largest ocean on our planet. After prayer and our goodbye, I could not help but […]
“SUDDENLY!” Part 13, (Apocalyptic Red Horse & Rider)
As we ended Part 12 of this “Suddenly” series, we pointed out several Scriptures detailing what will happen to Damascus. The coming destruction of Damascus has been the topic of many studies, debates, and much question concerning the timing. Between the Old Testament prophecies penned by Isaiah and Jeremiah and other prophets, we have many details, one of them being […]
MIDEAST UPDATE, 12/21/2014
Hardly a week goes by in which there is not a new story to tell in the lives of House of Blessing missionaries. For over 32 months, there have been stories of the many who have found their Messiah Jesus as Savior. At the same time, there are the difficult stories of the losses and the heartache that comes with […]
“SUDDENLY!” Part 11 (Apocalyptic Red Horse & Rider)
In Part 10 of this series, we started taking an in depth look at how the end time wars would unfold. The Old Testament has given us intricate detail of what is still to come. Because we are the generation that is going to witness these events coming to pass, it is important to understand what the Word of God […]
“SUDDENLY!” Part 10, (Apocalyptic Red Horse & Rider)
I have spent more time on the “Suddenly” series of articles than originally intended, but due to many questions in the previous weeks, I feel more in depth information is warranted. Our world is changing much more quickly than most are aware of. I heard someone say the other day that it would be much easier to keep one’s head […]
MIDEAST UPDATE, 9/1/2014
Time Running Out! I have more news to share after receiving another weekly call from Syria. One thing that becomes more apparent every week is the fact that time is running out. Most of us–even in the West, are getting at least some of the disturbing news from the Mideast and it is becoming increasingly obvious that there is a […]
MIDEAST UPDATE, 8/28/2014
“The Fire of GOD” It seems, the more difficult or impossible the circumstances, the more God shows Himself strong on behalf of those that love Him and commit to His ways. The Bible speaks of great exploits that will be done by the followers of Christ. Some of the accounts of miracles I am receiving are stories I could not […]
