In spite of all we are seeing happening in our world today, I think a good way to begin the year 2021 is with Psalm 118:24 which says, “This is the day the Lord has made, we will rejoice and be glad in it.” Those of us who are the servants of the Most High GOD can say this with […]
MIDEAST UPDATE 11/20/2020 “Help From on High”
As the nations of the world are continuing to struggle with the COVID-19 virus, so are the people in the Middle East. The hardest hit are always those who have the least at their disposal to fight the virus. This is especially the case among the multitudes of people who have been displaced. Large numbers of the displaced live in […]
MIDEAST UPDATE…10/18/2020….”Our GOD is Faithful”
For those who have not been living under a rock, they will have noticed that we have been experiencing one of the most unusual years ever. Fires that have devastated huge areas of Australia, South America, Siberia, Africa, and many other locations— particularly since 2017—have only gotten worse, the fires of 2020 being the very worst of the worst. But […]
MIDEAST UPDATE…10/8/2020….”Looking Back”
Another in our series as we have been looking back at God’s interventions on behalf of the House of Blessing was recorded on July 31, 2017. This is the account as it was written on July 31, 2017. Be sure not to miss Sister Sarah’s story later on in this archived update! It is also interesting to now look back […]
MIDEAST UPDATE….9/30/2020….(Reprint): “A STORY FROM MOSUL”
While Pastor R is receiving much needed continued medical treatment in Jerusalem, I am not receiving the most current news from over the border where the House of Blessing missionaries are located. I have reprinted another one of the special stories from the past, a story from March, 2017 that is well worth rereading. God has done great things in […]
MIDEAST UPDATE…8/10/2020…”The Awesome Power of GOD!”
For those who have read the previous update, you will remember that an urgent request was made for prayer for Pastor R and several of the House of Blessing leaders. Pastor R had come down with a serious virus of some kind. It was not possible to determine if he was having a recurrence of the COVID-19 or if this […]
MIDEAST UPDATE…6/22/2020
As the world keeps changing, we all find ourselves having to adapt to new circumstances. For many of us around the world, the thought of having to live through civil war, or even the threat of it, has been hard to imagine. All that has changed in many locations around the world. There have of course been demonstrations and riots […]
MIDEAST UPDATE…12/19/2019…Christmas, 2019
I’m not sure how many times I’ve looked at my calendar today and it’s still hard to accept that we are within days of the year 2020. Every year seems to go by faster than the previous one! As I look back over the year’s activities of the House of Blessing, I find myself giving much thanks to our Abba […]
MIDEAST UPDATE…12/7/2019…”A Dying Woman’s Vision–Part Three”
Before I get into today’s Mideast Update, including another miraculous story of God’s grace and mercy, let’s look at a passage of Scripture in the book of Romans: 14 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 […]
MIDEAST UPDATE…8/28/2019…..God’s Grace in the Midst of Turmoil
As I looked through the current news early this morning, I thought back to the days not so long ago when one could skim through the main headlines and read a few of the news articles inside of an hour. Many of those who pay attention to world events unfolding today; particularly those who are aware of Bible prophecy, have […]
