It seems every year goes by a bit faster than the one before. I am having a hard time getting my head around the fact that we are only days from the end of 2022. Amazing! But, here we are. One thing that gives us great hope is the fact that the Lord has brought us that much closer to […]
MIDEAST UPDATE…12/1/2022…The Harvest Fields are Ripe!”
Today’s Mideast Update will be a short one but Pastor R has asked special prayer for the HOB missionaries, particularly in the northern areas up against the Turkish border. Many of you may not be aware but Turkey’s President Erdogan has indicated his intent to begin the ground phase of Operation Claw-Sword. He wants to clear the southern borders of […]
MIDEAST UPDATE 7/31/2017
Week after week in these updates, I share a little bit of the news coming out of the Mideast. One of the reasons I do so is because many people do not pay much attention to the news. I was talking to a banker friend a couple of days ago and asked her if she was aware of the latest […]
MIDEAST UPDATE 7/20/ 2017
This week’s update is in two parts, the second part being a story that comes directly from people in Mosul who are experiencing the reality of the civil war battleground that is both Iraq and Syria today. This story will be on line in a couple days. Many people hear little or no news about what is actually happening in […]
MIDEAST UPDATE, 1/29/2016
Every time I check my regular news sources, it becomes clearer by the day that our troubled world is hurtling toward cataclysmic events, the likes of which will leave all other troubled eras in our world’s history pale in comparison. For those in the West, so far, at least for the most part, we just read or hear about these […]
MIDEAST UPDATE, 1/16/2016
The beginning of the Church Age was tumultuous. Once the Day of Pentecost came and the apostles began to preach and teach with power, the forces of the enemy began to persecute. The enemy here is not the Jewish Scribes, Pharisees, Sadducees, or even the Roman government at the time, but rather the forces of hell that were unleashed to […]
MIDEAST UPDATE, 1/5/2016
We live in a world where people are looking for heroes and even the supernatural. Many of the movies that are produced today play into the desires that people have. As humans, we find ourselves wishing we had access to the supernatural…usually for the wrong reasons. We wish we were capable of seeing things that the natural human eye cannot […]
MIDEAST UPDATE, 12/24/2015
I am now coming to realize more and more as time passes, that not only is the intensity of world events increasing, but so is the intensity increasing with the work in God’s harvest of souls. For those of us who have direct contact with overseas missions, it is probably easier to recognize; it certainly is for me through my […]
MIDEAST UPDATE, 12/11/2015
How many of us in this generation have said that we would love to have lived in the days of the early Church. We read the stories that have been recorded for us in the Book of Acts and some of the early Church records and wish we could have seen these very things. Many of us have also heard […]
MIDEAST UPDATE, 11/29/2015
It has now been nearly two weeks since I have written an official Mideast update. For those of us in the West, the days go by quickly, especially during the holidays. Here in America, we have just celebrated Thanksgiving. This is a time for getting together with friends, but especially family. Being truly thankful for the blessings that have been […]
