The following is a little story I made up to illustrate a point: A man came for a meeting with the pastor of his church and told him about three occurrences that he was involved with. First, he told about a family in the church that was struggling financially due to unemployment and they had run out of food for the week. Therefore he had given them some money. Next, he told about a neighbor who was in a car accident. He visited him in the hospital. Then he told about a relative of his who was depressed because his wife had died so he had spent some time with the man and helped him work through his grief. In anger, he asked the pastor “Where was the church for all of those people? They needed help and the church was not there for them.” The pastor replied, “I think the Church handled each situation very well, because you are the Church”.

Readers like Rob MacDormand’s articles because they express a great love of the Lord and are written in such a way as to be easily understood. Perhaps he gained a great insight from his mother who for years was a contributing writer to The Prophetic Expositor, the former magazine of British-Israel-World Federation. He writes a great deal about blessings and curses, how both have affected our Israel nations, and he emphasizes the great need to proclaim the Gospel of the Kingdom whenever the opportunity arises. He does so in his personal ministry.
Rob is a graduate of the University of Alberta, was engaged in the oil industry for many years and now is involved in city planning. He is a third generation believer in the Israel message and has a great interest in what is going to happen spiritually to our brethren as the end of the age draws closer.
