MIDEAST UPDATE, 9/23/2015
In the Book of Acts (The Acts of the Apostles), we find story after story giving accounts of real life events as the fledgling Church began to fulfill the commission that Jesus had left them with before He ascended back to His throne in heaven.

The outpouring of God’s Spirit around the world today is truly amazing.

MIDEAST UPDATE, 8/18/2015
As anyone knows that keeps up on the world news, the warring going on in the Middle East has not slowed in the least. If anything, it continues to escalate.

THE BLOOD OF JESUS, Part 1
I recently wrote a four part article titled “Why Jesus?” In that teaching series, we went into some detail on what sets Jesus Christ apart from any other proclaimed great teacher, prophet, or messiah. In this series of articles, I will deal with the subject of the “Blood” of Jesus. Although I do not intend the teaching materials to be […]

The Muslim day of Ramadan ended Friday, the 17th of July this year. I received a phone call from Pastor R***** with glowing reports from the different areas that the House Of Blessing missionaries have been scattered during this year’s Ramadan.
