Jacob Prasch

Jacob became a Christian while studying science and trying to disprove the bible. Frustrated by the failures of the hippie generation to build a better world, he put his faith in Jesus. Jacob’s wife Pavia is a Romanian born Jewish believer and the daughter of holocaust survivors. Jacob teaches on the Judeo-Christian roots of The New Testament, and is the director of Moriel Ministries.

David Hocking

His ministry, Hope for Today, is designed to spread his Bible teaching ministry through radio, tapes, and publications. David has been teaching the Bible for 40 years and is committed to the inspiration and inerrancy of the Word. He has also been ministering on the radio since 1970. He and his wife Carole have been married since 1962 and have three children and four grandchildren.

Bill Koenig

Bill began his business career in 1978 with Coldwell Banker before starting his own company in 1984. In the summer of 1996, Bill began publishing a weekly summary of important Middle East news. He moved to the Internet in November 1996 and became “Koenig International News”. In January 2001, he moved the news service to the Washington DC area and became a White House correspondent.

Warren Smith

Warren’s day job as social worker gives him the freedom to be an author whose spiritual roots formerly went deep into the New Age Movement. He has a burden to alert the church about New Age teachings in both the Purpose-Driven and Emergent movements. Writing credits include The Light That Was Dark, Reinventing Jesus Christ, and Deceived on Purpose.

Special Music: Richie Furay and Band

Richie is Pastor of Calvary Chapel of Boulder, CO. Being part of musical history with Buffalo Springfield and Poco has certainly been exciting, and he considers it a real honor to have been inducted into the Rock ‘N Roll Hall of Fame. But keeping it all in perspective, he says, “to have your name in the Lamb’s Book of Life – there’s no comparison!”. This year, he will be joind by his band.

Pastor Greg Laurie is coming to Chicago for a Harvest Crusade, September 24-25!

Invite some unsaved (and saved) friends to hear awesome music and an evangelistic message!

• Why does the world refuse to take decisive action to stop Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons, despite threats of genocide against Israel and the U.S. emanating from Tehran?
• Why did only 18 countries out of 192 vote against the anti-Israel “Goldstone Report” resolution in the U.N. General Assembly in the fall of 2009?
• Will the U.N. likely become an increasingly anti-Israel organization?
• Why has Turkey – a NATO ally and long-time friend of Israel – suddenly turned against Israel and begun developing alliances with Russia, Iran and Syria?
• Why is the White House pressuring Israel to divide Jerusalem and give up more “land for peace,” despite recent disastrous results in the “land for peace” formula?
• Why do only 4% of Israelis now believe President Obama is pro-Israel, when 88% of Israelis believed President Bush was on their side?
• Can a full-blown train wreck between the Obama administration and the Netanyahu government be averted?
• Is the increasing international isolation of Israel we see unfolding predicted in End Times Bible prophecies?
• What does the Bible say will happen to a nation that blesses Israel?
• What does the Bible say will happen to a nation that curses Israel?
• Why should followers of Jesus Christ around the world bless Israel and stand with the Jewish people, come what may?
• What are real and practical ways to build a global movement of Christians to bless Israel and pray for the peace of Jerusalem at this critical hour?

The eyes of the world are focused on the events in the Middle East, which is the epicenter of the dramatic events that are shaping our world and shaking our future.

On June 25th and 26th, 2010, at Philadelphia’s Kimmel Center, speakers Joel Rosenberg, Kay Arthur, Greg Laurie, Janet Parshall, and Lt.-General (ret.) William Boykin will help you understand today’s global crises in the light of Bible prophecy and give you practical ways to bless Israel and her neighbors in the name of Jesus, come what may.

From the “Jesus Calling” book, by Sarah Young.

April 23 devotion.

KEEP YOUR EYES ON ME, not only for direction but also for empowerment. I never lead you to do something without equipping your for the task. That is why it’s so important to seek My will in everything you do. There are many burned-out Christians who think more is always better, who deem it unspiritual to say no.

In order to know My will, you must spend time with Me—- enjoying My Presence. This is not an onerous task but a delightful privilege. I will show you the path of Life, in My Presence is fullness of Joy; at My right hand there are pleasures forevermore.

Psalm 141:8; Psalm 16:11

June 21st – 25th at the Higher Ground Conference Center (near Cincinatti, OH)

Last night’s Biblical Dinner with pastor Jay McCarl was a massive blessing to all involved and all who participated! We were blessed to have three fellowships participate – Calvary Lighthouse Fellowship in Ludington, Calvary Chapel of Grand Rapids, and of course, us.

Pastor Jay connected the Biblical Gospel narratives to our everyday lives in a very entertaining, engaging, and informative way, immersing us in an authentic first century reenactment – that we were a part of!

It was an eye-and-heart-opening experience.

For those who were not able to make it, you can get some of the experience via the DVD of the dinner.

Shalom eleichem!
