John 16:33: “These things I have spoken to you, that in Me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation, but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world.” Until our KING of Kings takes the throne of our planet, people will continue to experience tragedies of many kinds. We live in a fallen world and […]
MIDEAST UPDATE…2/9/2023…”The Lord Is Our Stronghold…No Matter What!”
It is hard to believe it has only been four days (at the time this update will post) since the massive earthquakes that devastated Turkey and Syria. The feared number of 20,000 deaths was surpassed some hours ago today, Thursday, February 9. Judging by the extensive devastation among such a large population, the number of dead is sure to climb […]
MIDEAST UPDATE….10/20/2022….Jesus Christ, the same Yesterday, Today, and Forever!
In the last couple Mideast Updates, I have shared some of the information of what the House of Blessing is dealing with right now, especially in northern Syria. The infectious disease, Cholera, has spread quickly, where, as you know, millions have been displaced by the decade-long civil war are trying to survive, mostly in tent cities. Many of these camps […]
MIDEAST UPDATE….10/10/2022….”Through the Wilderness”
One of my many favorite passages of Scripture is found in Hebrews 10:23: 23 Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for He who promised is faithful. 24 And let us consider one another in order to stir up love and good works, 25 not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as is the manner of […]
MIDEAST UPDATE….10/3/2022….”A Priceless Treasure”
I have had the opportunity to speak with Pastor R several times in the last few days. He told me about a new challenge being faced in Syria; cholera. To be clear, cholera has been faced before in the Mideast, and the House of Blessing missionaries have had to deal with its effects before. This however is the first time […]
MIDEAST UPDATE….9/8/2022….”DOOR TO THE ARK IS STILL OPEN”
Many Christ-followers today are asking the question: “How long O Lord?” Those who have been watching, have seen the signs of our Messiah’s return increase in number and intensity. Some days our faith is strong, other days, not so much. All of us are susceptible to getting discouraged or despondent at times, but we don’t need to stay in that […]
MIDEAST UPDATE…9/1/2022…”When You See These Things Beginning, LOOK UP!”
Notice these words Jesus said to His disciples, including all of us who are His followers today: “These things I have spoken to you, that in Me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world.” Matthew 16:33 There is a growing number of people everywhere realizing that […]
MIDEAST UPDATE….8/13/2022….”Who Holds Your Tomorrow?”
There isn’t one of us who has knowledge of what our tomorrow will bring—unless of course, God gives us special knowledge. As believers, we are thankful at the end of every day for another day that has passed and we are now one day closer to Jesus’ return for His own. A personal practice of mine is to thank the […]
MIDEAST UPDATE…7/3/2022….”How Amazing is our GOD!”
Considering the size of the series of miracles in the last few weeks, including today’s addition, this update will be rather short. The reason for the brevity of today’s update is because the Muslim, Eid al-Adha, a time of special evangelism by the House of Blessing missionaries is only days away and I’d like you to know what has happened […]
MIDEAST UPDATE…5/23/2022…”And To All Those Afar Off”
I came across an interesting article in which the question was asked, “Is the West Missing the Harvest?” I spent some time pondering the question. For those of us who live in the West, unless we have contact with some knowledgeable people who are involved in overseas Christian ministries, we may not even be aware how explosive the harvest of […]
