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.

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.

GOHI Newsmail – June 2024

A few months ago my wife, Fiona, bought a bag of Harris Tweed cloth remnants for a friend. The next time we saw her she was wearing an amazing jacket, entirely made of the remnants carefully sewn together to provide covering, warmth and protection. It was brilliant!

A Heart-Broken Remnant Rises to its Calling

My wife, Fiona, bought a bag of remnants – off-cuts of little obvious use or value – from the Harris Tweed shop, as a present for a very creative friend. The next time we saw her she was wearing an amazing jacket, entirely made up of remnant pieces of Harris Tweed cloth, which had been carefully sewn together to provide a unique and warm item of clothing.

GOHI Newsmail – May 2024

A Brief Update

God is opening so many doors for GOHI that I wish I still had the energy of a much younger man! But, Praise God, the next generation of GOHI leaders around the world are stepping out in faith to grasp the opportunities and do the work.

While Fiona and I will always do whatever we can, our primary role now is to encourage the troops on the ground and generate the provision with which to fund these pioneering ventures and support those ministries where local funding is an impossibility.
