And what about the Pope? ... This guy is setting new levels in the area of pure deception! .... He truly is setting the stage for the soon-coming world church .. the partner of the world ruler who will burst upon the scene any day now. ... And Christian persecution is taking center stage more & more in the daily news headlines ... all across the middle east, Pakistan, Egypt, Sudan, Libya ... pretty much anywhere the Muslims have any kind of control ...
But besides all this, what jumps at me this week is the rapidity of how Israel is being isolated by the rest of the world, including its biggest 'ally' .. the USA. ...  Scriptures tell us that this would be one of the signs just prior to Christ's return ... Well, here it is!
OK, enough for now ... Please remember to pray for Mary and her family as she is still in the UK with them. ... Also thanks for your patience with the site over these past few days as we've had a bit of inconsistency due to Mary's absence. .. Don't give up on us! ... We will keep doing whatever we can to advance the Kingdom of God, whatever the circumstances. ... Thank you all for sharing in our ministry ..
Until next time,
