When One Door Shuts – Another Opens!
God loves books! He put 66 of them in the best book ever! And over my life time I have had the privilege of being involved in book writing and publishing for close on sixty years! I thank God that I had the joy of seeing Sovereign World Ltd become part of Ellel Ministries, publishing many vital Christian books from many different authors – books which have been a constant source of blessing to people across the nations.

GOHI Newsmail – February 2025
There are many references to gates and doorways in Scripture, and in Revelation 3:8 we read that when God opens doors no man can shut them. God has been opening many doors for Gates of Hope International (GOHI), and we are now being stretched in ways that we never expected!

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.

In the Midst of Darkness . . . There is HOPE!
Right now the darkness over our nation has reached a new intensity. But just as the stars shine the brightest on the darkest of nights, the ‘Lord of all Hopefulness’ still reigns and His Star is still guiding those who choose to follow Him – even in the midst of extreme darkness.

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.

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.
