Hardly a week goes by in which there is not a new story to tell in the lives of House of Blessing missionaries. For over 32 months, there have been stories of the many who have found their Messiah Jesus as Savior. At the same time, there are the difficult stories of the losses and the heartache that comes with […]
MIDEAST UPDATE, 11/4/2014
For this update, I suggest that the reader take time and read through the Book of the Acts of the Apostles. What we read there is just the beginning. In these last moments of time before the Great Day of the Lord, we are being gifted with some of the most tremendous stories of all time. In the history of […]
GOD’S MYSTERY, The Church Part 1 “The Loveless Church”
As most of us know, today we find ourselves at a time in history like none other. I have said this in other articles and have applied it to numerous aspects of our lives. Today I would like to apply it to the Church. What is the “Church”? Who is the “Church”? What is the function of the “Church”? The […]
MIDEAST UPDATE, 10/12/2014
A common statement I hear more and more today is how near we are to the return of Jesus Christ, the Messiah.

The imminent return of Jesus is […]

MIDEAST UPDATE, 9/23/2014
As I was contemplating the different things to include in today’s update, I reread Revelation 6, paying special attention to the fifth seal which is found in verses 9-11. It reads like this: When he opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of those who had been slain because of the word of God and the […]
MIDEAST UPDATE, 6/9/2014
Many Scriptures have come to mind since my last phone call from the Middle East. One is found in Isaiah 55:6-11, and this is how it reads in the NIV: “Seek the Lord while he may be found; call on him while he is near. Let the wicked forsake his way and the evil man his thoughts. Let him turn […]
JERUSALEM UPDATE, August 4, 2013
Since the last “House Of Blessing” update was uploaded I have had two additional contacts with our Israeli pastor friend R*. I found his updates quite encouraging and again found more reason than ever to keep him and his volunteer missionaries not just in occasional prayer, but earnest prayer as the book of James calls for when it says that […]
