The Action Report No one was allowed in because they might not get out alive No one was allowed in because they might not get out alive. The Israeli border had been sealed. Lebanon was too dangerous for civilians to enter-even the narrow security zone patrolled by Free Lebanese and Israeli forces.
God did a miracle
God did a miracle and I was able to cross over some 20 years ago. One incredible Lebanese Christian, Francis Rizk, was my constant companion in this land where terrorist killings still occurred. That's when I lost my heart witnessing and doing good to Christians as well as Muslims who only wanted to be free.
One other American was also in Lebanon at the same time. He lived there-loving and raising orphans who had seen so much hell in their young lives. I was helping my brothers clear a field only five miles from the orphanage. That's when the terrorists murdered the daddy of the orphanage, Bill Robinson. When news was first flashed, it was that a missionary and a former marine, had been assassinated...
When news was first flashed, it was that a missionary, born in Chicago and a former marine, had been assassinated. My wife Norma thought it was me before the facts became clear. Instead, it was Bill Robinson, a gentle soul who valued Lebanese children more than his own life.
I can't pray for Israel and not pray for Lebanon. The two are linked in prophecy and in my heart. That's why I'm checking out old contacts to see if we can offer new help for Lebanese believers as well as Israelis. ...if the Lord opens the door again for me to enter Lebanon, I shall do it in a heartbeat...
Please pray for both countries. I'm thankful that our internet school of discipleship can reach all parts of the world (as of this writing we are moving toward 60,000 students). And if the Lord opens the door again for me to enter Lebanon, I shall do it in a heartbeat.
Shalom continues to reach out across the States and across the globe. Your labor and ours for Him is never lost.

Eastern mysticism and meditation is a big thing in the gullible West. And one day a “world leader” will appear on the scene with the persuasion of a god and the heart of a devil. Jesus warns His children to know the Scriptures, live in obedience to the Father’s will, and stay alert to the signs of the times. They laugh no more. Now God’s description of how He will destroy the old earth and create a
new one makes perfect sense. The splitting of the atom turned many skeptics into believers.
After all, look what man himself is capable of doing with the atom and hydrogen bombs. Now
the fear is that nuclear weapons are being placed in the hands of madmen who wish to annihilate
their enemies. God has blessed man with incredible genius. We stand in awe as we watch men and women in a room full of computers and high-tech instruments guiding and landing spacecraft on distant planets. At that moment, we appear invincible. But then a mammoth tornado comes—or a terrifying hurricane—or rains that flood whole regions and never listen to our shouts to “Stop!”—or the shake that removes from under our feet any confidence or pride we carry, and leaves us numb with hardly enough breath to even utter the paralyzing word “EARTHQUAKE!”. And man is helpless in the face of it all! |
