Faith in Action – a New Year Message for 2025

An inactive faith that shakes nothing will never change the world. The ministry of Jesus was love in action. It shook the religious hierarchy to the core with unmatchable, life-transforming, power and authority. The Pharisees tried to quench the fire at Calvary, but the cross became the gateway to resurrection life which, empowered by the Holy Spirit, changed the history of the world.

GOHI Newsmail – December 2024

2024 has been a year of extraordinary blessing, but lived out in a world where wars, rumours of wars, floods and disasters, extraordinary politics and governmental decisions have grabbed the headlines week after week. To quote the prophet Joel, we are living in a season when the “the joy of mankind is withered away” (Joel 1:12), as our TV screens bombard us with images of suffering from so many different parts of the world.

GOHI Newsmail – October 2024

It’s just a year since, in faith, we launched Gates of Hope International (GOHI). God opened the door and we walked through it, not knowing what He had in store! But when it is God who opens a door, I have learnt not to be surprised at the blessing that follows!

We adopted the same name for this new work that Steve had used for the ministry in Israel, Gates of Hope (Sha’arei Tikva in Hebrew) – a name which has deep meaning for all the GOHI ministries internationally.

The Peace of Jerusalem

The Psalmist urges us to pray for the peace of Jerusalem (Psalm 122:6-9). As wars rage around Israel we are having to face the reality that these prayers will only be fully answered when the Prince of Peace returns to Jerusalem as prophesied in Zechariah 14.

Sameh & Liz’s News – July 2024

We are thrilled to be bringing you up-to-date again with all that’s been happening in and through Arab World Ministries and to have this opportunity to convey our enormous heartfelt thanks to all who generously support this precious kingdom work through vital prayer and financial giving.

GOHI Newsmail – August 2024

As I write this, the world’s turmoil increases. Since my last Newsmail the impending war between Israel and the surrounding nations has moved ever closer. The world holds its breath as airlines begin to cancel their flights to Tel Aviv, wondering what will happen next as Iran flexes its muscles and Israel is ever-ready to defend itself.

GOHI Newsmail – July 2024

God has already blessed the work of Gates of Hope International (GOHI) in ways beyond anything we could have ever dreamt of or imagined. When, in response to the prayers of many people, the Holy Spirit led us to establish GOHI as a relational network of thirteen international ministries we had no idea what might unfold in the days to come.
