GOHI Israel Newsmail
The 21st September 2025 was a very significant day for Gates of Hope International. After many years of seeing the work develop and grow in Israel, under Steve’s leadership, on this day we were able to conclude the first Board Meeting of the Directors of Gates of Hope Vineyard, the official name (in English) of our new Israeli Charity, now officially constituted with the approval of the Israeli Government!

I’m Out of Breath!
I’m out of breath!! Metaphorically speaking. Keeping pace with the unfolding catalogue of world events is exhausting, as well as potentially frightening.

Pygmalion!
I occasionally do the Saturday Crossword in the Daily Telegraph. A few weeks ago, the answer to one of the clues was Pygmalion. I knew this name as the title of a musical and of a book by George Bernard Shaw, but I found myself curious to know more about who was Pygmalion?

Gates of Hope International Update
We have just completed our GOHI leaders conference in Switzerland. Thank you so much for your prayers and support for what proved to be a highly strategic, inspiring and challenging meeting of leaders, who are pushing forward with significant Kingdom initiatives in some of the most difficult parts of the world such as Israel, Russia, Eastern Europe, Asia and the Arabic speaking nations. For them, especially, the time of fellowship, training, envisioning and equipping was absolutely vital and they have returned to their locations fired up and excited at all that God is now doing through the ministry.

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.
