MIDEAST UPDATE, 10/27/2016

See then that you walk circumspectly, not as fools but as wise, redeeming the time, because the days are evil; therefore do not be unwise, but understand what the will of the Lord is. Ephesians 5:15-17: I think many of us, as professing Christians, do not think enough about what the will of the Lord may be. We have very […]

MIDEAST UPDATE, 10/20/2016

As I write this Mideast Update, the world population is just under 7½ billion people. According to those that keep population statistics professionally, the population of the world grows by roughly 84 million people per year, more than the present population of Germany. It is estimated that 55.3 million people die per year. This means that about 151,600 souls pass […]

MIDEAST UPDATE, 10/11/2016

As I begin to write this update, I think back to all that has transpired in the last few years. A little less than a year after the beginning of the Arab Spring in the Middle East, the Lord spoke to Pastor R, the founder of House of Blessing, asking him to go over the border from Israel and begin […]

MIDEAST UPDATE, 10/04/2016

As I track the news coming in from different parts of the world, I am staggered by how quickly things are moving. Things are escalating so quickly now that it is nearly impossible to keep up with everything transpiring. Jesus spoke about our generation, foretelling the wars and rumors of wars, nation rising against nation, kingdom against kingdom. We are […]

MIDEAST UPDATE, 9/26/2016

As I write today’s Mideast Update, I am looking at a short article that came out in the Atlantic on September 24, 2016. It is titled, “I Do Not Believe There Will be Peace”. This was a quote from General Jamal Mohammad Omer, the Kurdish military chief of staff, in an exclusive interview in his office by the Atlantic. The […]

MIDEAST UPDATE, 9/22/2016

I had the opportunity to speak and pray with Pastor R four times this past week. It never ceases to amaze me, as I hear of the miraculous things that are continuing to take place, even under the most horrific circumstances. At a time when all of the efforts of the world’s most powerful and influential people, who are having […]

MIDEAST UPDATE, 9/13/2016

As I begin writing the current Mideast Update, I think of the confluence of events in the Middle East today. I have stacks of papers scattered on my desk covering the so-called “Arab Spring”, the Syrian civil war, the escalating military involvement of numerous world powers in the Mideast, the resulting ever-deteriorating refugee crisis, and then of course the fearless […]

MIDEAST UPDATE, 9/5/2016

As the world leaders meet to “solve” the world’s problems, and as high-paid political figures do their negotiating, the world continues to fall apart. For all of the peace proposals and supposed cease-fires, thousands of people continue to die. If they do not die from the bombing campaigns, they may be murdered by any one of the many Islamic jihadist […]

MIDEAST UPDATE, 8/27/2016

The closer we get to the second coming of our Messiah Yeshua, the more I notice the outstanding miracles the Lord God provides. In a mission field such as the Middle East where the needs are so very great, every missionary organization finds itself having to make decisions as to which crucial need gets met with the available finances. In […]
