“…redeeming the time, because the days are evil” Ephesians 5:16 As this update is posted on line, it is only a matter of hours until the Muslim month of Ramadan begins. The House of Blessing has been planning, preparing, and praying now for weeks in preparation for 30 days of intensive evangelism. The question is asked every year, could this […]
MIDEAST UPDATE….3/16/2022….Race to the Finish Line
Today’s update will be shorter than most. Pastor R’s call was a very quick update but he asked me to get a little information out to keep people updated. It looks like one of the last of the winter storms has come into the northern parts of the Middle East. It has brought wind, rain, cold temperatures, and snow. It […]
MIDEAST UPDATE…3/8/2022…”Multitudes in the Valley of Decision”
In Romans 10, we find these words: How then shall they call on Him in whom they have not believed? And how shall they believe in Him of whom they have not heard? And how shall they hear without a preacher? And how shall they preach unless they are sent? As it is written: ‘How beautiful are the feet of […]
MIDEAST UPDATE…2/18/2022…The Only Hope of the World, JESUS
As we take a look at world news the last few days, it is quite obvious that humanity is in great peril. We are living in the perilous times that the Apostle Paul warned Timothy about in 2 Timothy 3:1-5. There are many warnings throughout Scripture about the generation that we happen to have been placed in, including from Jesus, […]
MIDEAST UPDATE…1/20/2022…”Ready or Not, One Day Soon, it Will Be It!”
Most of us do some thinking about the new year every time our New Year’s celebrations have ended and the new year begins in earnest. For those of us who are older, we can remember how each year in the past few decades has seemed a bit more troublesome than the one preceding it—or maybe, it’s just that way for […]
MIDEAST UPDATE…12/21/2021…”Jesus Christ, the Same, Yesterday, Today, and Forever!”
The first thing I thought of this morning–after I thanked God for allowing me to wake up to another day of life, is that today, December 21st is the shortest day of the year. Starting on 12/22/2021, the daylight hours become a slight bit longer every day. That means we are now three months from springtime! This is also Christmas […]
MIDEAST UPDATE….9/15/2021….TIME IS SHORT!
As we view our world today and the convergence of prophetic events, it is quite clear that things will never be “normal” again. All of the things Jesus warned us about in Matthew 24, Mark 13, and Luke 21 are currently unfolding exponentially. The evidence shows that the groundwork for the time of John the Revelator’s Apocalypse, has already been […]
MIDEAST UPDATE…9/1/2021…”Our GOD Does Not Miss A Thing!”
The first thing I would like to do in today’s update is to thank every one of you who prayed for our brother, Adel. Pastor R called to tell me that the Lord has touched him and he is mending quickly and doing much better! We praise God for His mercy. I have a little story to pass on today […]
MIDEAST UPDATE…4/24/2021…”Teach Us Your Ways, O GOD!”
Just a real quick update as we have come to the end of another week. I received a call from Pastor R earlier in the week with a little bit of information to add to the previous update. A story which began with a man named Suleiman and his four grown sons is continuing. You’ll remember that HOB brothers Mahmoud […]
MIDEAST UPDATE….3/18/2021….”Just As I Am”
In the last update, I told the story of five men; a father named Suleiman, and his four grown sons, Majd, Mustafa, Refaat, and Aref. These five men had been raised Muslim but eventually became Islamic State (Daesh) militants. When in God’s providence their paths crossed with House of Blessing’s missionaries, Omar, Sami, and Mussa, they found that Jesus Christ […]
