MIDEAST UPDATE, 10/28/2015

As I look over the last few updates, I can see how the reports I have been receiving of the missionary work from the front lines in the Middle East, very much reflect the news from that part of the world. Only someone totally oblivious to the news of the world would not be aware of the dramatic increase in […]

Today, as I write this update, the Islamic month of Ramadan is nearing its close for 2015 in just six more days. As I spoke with Pastor R*****, founder of the House Of Blessing ministry in the Middle East, he was very excited to tell me of the great success the HOB missionaries have been experiencing as the Spirit of […]

In Mark 16:15-18 we find these words of Jesus: And He said unto them, “Go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature.

As I look back at the updates of the last few weeks, I reread account after account of missionaries giving their lives for the sake of the Gospel. In the last three years that I have been writing these updates, there have been approximately 700 House of Blessing missionaries that have been martyred. Just days ago, nine of Mafidah’s widows […]

As readers of these Mideast Updates will know, the last couple updates brought to our attention difficult events that required serious prayer because only intervention from God would spare Pastor R*****, at the very least, the loss of his legs, and the possibility of death from shrapnel wounds. As you remember, our pastor friend was seriously injured when a bomb […]

CRUCIAL MIDEAST UPDATE, May 17, 2015

Over the past three years, I have become used to receiving calls from the Middle East; calls telling me of some of the most amazing happenings.  Then in the same call or a day or two later, I hear the stories of HOB missionaries who paid with their lives for daring to share the love of God for the human […]

MIDEAST UPDATE, 5/11/2015

Today there are numerous organizations claiming to be representatives of Jesus Christ, yet not all truly live up to the standards of the “Cross”!  Ministries everywhere compete for donations, but most have a high percentage of funds going to pay for overhead. All claim to be Christ’s ambassadors on Earth but not all really live up to the standards of […]

MIDEAST UPDATE, 5/3/2015

While receiving my weekly phone call out of Syria from Pastor R*****, I was reminded of a passage of Scripture in Philippians: For I know that this will turn out for my deliverance through your prayer and the supply of the Spirit of Jesus Christ, according to my earnest expectation and hope that in nothing I shall be ashamed, but […]

MIDEAST UPDATE, 4/28/2015

In a quickly changing Middle East, each nation is trying to deal with the facts on the ground from one day to the next. It is the same for the Christian missionaries on the front lines. In my latest calls from House Of Blessing, I have had it confirmed that HOB is breaking into four segments so that there is […]
