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 […]
MIDEAST UPDATE….2/20/2021….”The Tent World”
As we find ourselves in the last days of February, 2021, most of us are already looking forward to spring. That is certainly the case in the Middle East, especially in the northern areas. I spoke with Pastor R just prior to the arrival of a snow storm and the House of Blessing missionaries were doing what they could […]
MIDEAST UPDATE…2/8/2021…”Little is Much when GOD is in It!”
In today’s world, particularly in Western culture, most people find it hard to believe in miracles. Yet, supernatural events do occur. It is not true that the miraculous events recorded for us during Jesus’ 3-1/2 years of ministry in Palestine and then continued by Jesus’ hand-picked apostles ended when they had passed on into eternity. Church history is laced with […]
MIDEAST UPDATE…1/27/2021…”Looking for Another Country!”
I was sent quite a number of photos showing the difficult conditions people in the refugee camps are having to endure again this year. This is of course not something new this winter of 2021. It is however something that many of us need to see again in order for us not to forget to pray for these folks and […]
