AUTHOR and FINISHER…MESSIAH Part One

This multiple-part study, which will for the most part reference the Book of Revelation, will cover what it is that Messiah/Yeshua has done as the Author and Finisher of our Faith. Because this study primarily goes overseas to the underground Church in the Mideast and because Bibles are always in short supply, all of the Scriptures are printed out in […]

MIDEAST UPDATE 11/20/2018 “And The Miracles Multiply!”

The encounter with one of God’s angels that Pastor Farid had after having been left for dead from his injuries in a garbage dump is a story that brings encouragement and also great praise to our God. We find these words about angels in the Book of Hebrews: …Are they not all ministering spirits sent forth to minister for those […]

One More Miracle…So Many More Souls! 11/19/2018

In the 7 years that we have been associated with House of Blessing, we have heard and shared many stories of miracles, seldom seen in the West, that have changed people by the grace of the One True God and Savior, Jesus Christ.  While the greatest miracle is always a person’s changed heart in repentance leading to salvation, it is […]

MIDEAST UPDATE 10/8/2018 “Racing To The Finish Line!”

  As we watch the threats of a major Mideast war continue to escalate, we are reminded that the House of Blessing missionaries are in great need of our prayers and support. Most of the HOB missionaries that are embedded within the populations have had the chance to relocate to safer areas but have chosen not to. The calling they […]

MIDEAST UPDATE 9/11/2017

As the Middle East continues to change, the work of the House of Blessing missionaries continues. Over the last handful of years, this work has spread from one mideast nation to another. The enemy of our souls was on the attack from the very beginning of this project as Pastor R was directed by the Lord to begin ministering over […]

MIDEAST UPDATE 3/21/2017

In the last few days we had requests for special prayer for Pastor R, founder of the House of Blessing. I have received a short phone call with some new information to share. As most regular readers already know, Pastor R had an emergency procedure due to a heart attack he had suffered. I don’t know details though it sounds […]

MIDEAST UPDATE, 11/9/2016

The Psalmist wrote these powerful words in Psalm 91: Because he has set his love upon Me, therefore I will deliver him; I will set him on high, because he has known My name. He shall call upon Me, and I will answer him; I will be with him in trouble; I will deliver him and honor him. Psalm 91:14-15 […]

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, 8/6/2016

One of the things I’ve noticed while writing these Mideast Updates for the last 53 months, is that if I am not careful, the updates become “routine” reports. This is a grave mistake because these are not “numbers” being reported, but rather a written record of events and the people who are the subjects of these same events. These people […]

MIDEAST UPDATE, 8/1/2016

In my morning devotion time yesterday I was reading in Philippians. I would like to include a portion at the beginning of today’s Mideast Update: But I want you to know, brethren, that the things which happened to me have actually turned out for the furtherance of the gospel, so that it has become evident to the whole palace guard, […]
