We've all heard it said, "Smile - Things Could Be Worse" so we smiled and sure enough things got worse. Okay I know that is not a nice way to begin a report. Yet as most of us try to remain positive it seems to become more difficult to do so every day with the horrible news coming at us from all directions.

It also seems that we go from one doomsday date to the next. The war here in Israel always seems to be on the very edge of happening. Sometimes it is a little more frightening than others - and this is one of those times. All indicators are now pointing to September of this year, - if these indicators are true, and war is imminent, it would seem to me that the element of surprise is no longer a factor on either side. So, the advantage would go to the one who pulls the trigger first. If you give that some thought, it's way past time to prepare. Therefore we all should be on our faces before God in prayer. Because this war will be far worse than any before here in Israel, and even our top Generals are telling us in our Israeli newspapers, that many will die in this coming war.

I have reported many times about the unbelievable build-up of long and medium range missiles amassed at our northern border. They are estimated now at over 50,000 and many are believed to be loaded with chemical warheads. Syria now is faced with nothing less than a civil war and Assad confronted with his final days unless he can find a way out. War with Israel is looking better to him every day.

Hamas in Gaza is now fully armed for war. The Egyptian border is open and in the control of the Moslem Brotherhood. The same Moslem Brotherhood that gave birth to Hamas in Gaza. They no longer have to depend on smuggling tunnels, they come across now by truck caravans. Keep in mind that we are speaking of Islamists who love death more than you love life, and have for generations indoctrinated their kids that to die for Allah whilst killing Jews is the way to their "heaven".

And anyone who believes that Iran doesn't already have nuclear weapons is well past being naive They are plain stupid. The CVN 77 G.H.W. Bush has just entered the Persian Gulf along with CVN 76 Ronald Reagan. These aircraft carriers don't travel alone, but with a group of battleships and at least one nuclear submarine.

Israel, in the meantime, is caught between a rock and hard place. If they wait too long and the missiles start falling upon Tel-Aviv and Jerusalem they have given up the first strike advantage. If they hit Iran [the real source to all the above] they will be blamed for starting World War III. Nevertheless, the destruction of Israel and the Jewish people is not an option therefore something has to happen - and very soo

Many mistakenly believe that Hezbollah in Lebanon can be taken care of very quickly. This is not the case. They are dug in and armed to the teeth, thanks to Iran and Syria. It is believed that thousands of missiles can be launched before Israel can take them out. This would spell disaster for Israeli cities when we consider that these are not small missiles. They are huge and tipped with very large warheads loaded with WMD. But if Hezbollah was our only real concern we could live with that, but let's look at reality; We must also face Hamas, Egypt, and another surprise could be Jordan. As bad as all this looks it pales in comparison to what Iran has planned for Israel.

It looks like we are surrounded, but the real truth is they are. For the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob is on our side and that makes us the majority. For those of us who have read the Book understand that.

So, yes, it does look really bad in the short term around here. Yet we have seen this kind of scenario come and go before. When it comes to making the decision of pulling that trigger or hitting the button it means thousands will die on all sides. So far that has been prevented from happening. But we know sooner or later it will come down and all hell will break loose. Not only here, but around the world. Keep in mind that the USA must be neutralised and held back from assisting Israel.

As for this Ministry - where are we headed? It is easy for me to understand, but it seems many others don't. You see, I know God cannot lie, and I know that God has appointed this ministry for such a time as this. When all is said and done Jews will have no place to go, but home to Israel. This is God's plan and what anyone believes or doesn't believe has no effect upon the truth of that.

In the coming days we will be moving the boats around somewhat. We need your prayers and support. None of the things we have been called to do can be done without finances and at this time, more than anytime in the history of this Ministry, your support is needed. I am asking you again; please pray and ask God to speak to you about blessing the Apple of His Eye "Israel". You will be rewarded GEN.12:3. Those who have been called by God understand the importance of this ministry.


Pray for the peace of Jerusalem, for our son Joel and all the IDF soldiers. Pray for this Ministry and your part in it.
