I titled the previous Mideast Update, “Racing to the Finish Line,” and it truly is a race. Our world is in trouble but we serve Someone who is greater than the world or its problems. It is He that put us on this earth and it is He who chose the slot in time for us to be here. He […]
ALL EYES ON ISRAEL Part Four
In the conclusion of part three of this series of articles, I mentioned that Israel knows that they are facing war on all sides. The news in the last few days serves to strongly confirm that fact. As Friday prayers were finished in mosques in Gaza last week, once again the Palestinians were urged to challenge the Israeli military by […]
ALL EYES ON ISRAEL Part Three
As much of the Western world has been inundated with ridiculous circus acts of western politics, many have questioned if the conflict in the Mideast has cooled. Not so. Storm clouds have continued to gather, and although there have been movements of troops and military weaponry shifted from one location to another, with nothing major having broken out yet, the […]
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 […]
ALL EYES ON ISRAEL….Part Two
As mentioned in the concluding remarks of Part One, we have In the Old Testament 83rd Psalm a unique prayer petition recorded which many, myself included, is more than just a prayer, but a prophecy of a future conflict that Israel is going to face. It is one of several prophecies that predict a specific conflict with Israel’s enemies, distinct […]
ALL EYES ON ISRAEL…..Part One
It has been said that the Epicenter of the world is Israel; Jerusalem is the focus; but the Temple Mount is the Bulls-eye! The most contested piece of real estate in the entire world is the Temple Mount. Daily news from around the world continues to be filled with the conflicts surrounding the rightful ownership of the land of Israel–or […]
QUICK UPDATE ON PASTOR R September 3, 2018
Although I have little to share as far as an official Mideast Update, I do want to quickly pass on some new information on Pastor R’s physical condition. Most of you who regularly read these updates will likely have seen the photo of Pastor R’s foot and the infection he has been fighting. As his temperature would not stay down […]
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 […]
MIDEAST UPDATE 8/21/2018 God is Good!!
In the 21st Chapter of the Book of Luke, we find these words spoken by our Lord: “Now when these things begin to happen, look up and lift up your heads, because your redemption draws near.” (verse 28) For those that are watching events around the world and know the “things” Jesus was referring to, it is abundantly clear that […]
