An urgent request was just put out for prayer concerning Pastor R and the struggles he has been having with his health. I know many of you immediately began earnestly taking him and his situation before the Lord at this critical time for him. I am thankful for a body of believers that take the Word of God literally and […]
SPECIAL NEED FOR PRAYER
I received a call from Pastor R a few minutes ago. He, and four of his ministry team, had just finished praying for somewhere between 800-900 people. The people line up for prayer, beginning early in the morning, and special prayers are offered up all day long. Today was a particularly heavy day of prayer and ministry. The people are […]
MIDEAST UPDATE, 12/19/2016
I find myself turning to John 14:1-3 more and more these days as a counterbalance to the supply of bad news available through the news services on a daily basis. This is how these three verses read: Let not your heart be troubled; you believe in God, believe also in Me. In My Father’s house are many mansions, if it […]
MIDEAST UPDATE, 12/13/2016
In one of the calls I received from Pastor R this past week, I had the amazing opportunity to speak with three of the new graduates from HOB’s School of Ministry. These three men, whose names were Mahmud, Abdullah, and Gaze, knew very little English but were able to greet me on the phone. They felt it a blessing to […]
MIDEAST UPDATE, 12/4/2016
As I read one news article after another, I think of a great event that is soon to come. Soon, the Lord of Glory will return to this world which today is spinning out of control, and He will take full control over it once again. The Psalmist penned these words in Psalm 24: The earth is the LORD’s, and […]
MIDEAST UPDATE, 11/22/2016
In Joel 3:14, we find these well known words: Multitudes, multitudes in the valley of decision! For the day of the LORD is near in the valley of decision. This is the scene all over the world today as millions face the valley of decision. In the Mideast, most people have lost all hope of life ever becoming normal again. […]

Dear Readers: I received a call this morning from Pastor R in Damascus, giving me details for the most recent developments in the Middle East, especially in relation to the work of the House of Blessing missionaries.

GOD ANSWERS PRAYER…AGAIN!
I want to thank all of those who immediately went to prayer for the House of Blessing missionaries who were injured yesterday in a bombing run in the Aleppo area of Syria yesterday. I just received a telephone call from Pastor R letting me know that all of the women are now awake. Their wounds have been closed up and […]
URGENT! Need For Prayer!
I received a call very early this morning from Pastor R asking me for urgent prayer. Readers of this blog will know Mufidah’s name well. She has been in the line of fire for several years now as she and her group of widows we’ve called “The Widow Sisterhood” have ministered to, prayed for, and led untold hundreds to the […]
MIDEAST UPDATE, 11/9/2016
The Psalmist wrote these powerful words in Psalm 91: Because he has set his love upon Me, therefore I will deliver him; I will set him on high, because he has known My name. He shall call upon Me, and I will answer him; I will be with him in trouble; I will deliver him and honor him. Psalm 91:14-15 […]
