The future of the Jewish people in Europe – and even in America – is at great risk, with many leaving for Israel or being advised to do so. Much of the shocking rise in worldwide antisemitism that is behind this mass exodus has been witnessed by Dr Fred Wright, […]

Jaffa is reminder of how blessing Israel is key to revival — Charles Gardner
I love to share the story of the port that launched the Gospel “ship” to the nations. My love for Jaffa, at the southern end of the bustling coastal city of Tel Aviv, goes back to when my wife Linda and I spent 11 days there following a study tour […]
Feasting on the Bread that truly satisfies — Charles Gardner
I have noticed over the years how God often gives us a physical example (or symbol) of what he’s talking about, later to be fulfilled by a spiritual reality. As Jesus explained to Nicodemus, we are born of water (I guess meaning from our mother’s womb when her waters break), […]
Heaven’s heart surgery: why we need the transformative power of Pentecost — Charles Gardner
By Charles Gardner, UK Correspondent The greatest need for both Jews and Gentiles is an outpouring of the Holy Spirit as on the Day of Pentecost (or Shavuot) – 50 days after Yeshua was raised from the dead. Whereas the Law of Moses, given 50 days after the exodus from […]
Middle East ‘foes’ find reconciliation in Jesus — Charles Gardner
With so much misinformation circulating in the media about the ongoing Middle East conflict, where Israel is perennially portrayed as the great bully, there is another story! Amidst the storm of Temple Mount riots, along with mass anti-government protests and brutal terrorist murders, believers in Yeshua (Jesus) from all over […]
How beautiful on the mountains!– Charles Gardner
I want to share my excitement about an important bi-centenary of which I feel privileged to be a part. It was 200 years ago, in 1823, that the Church’s Ministry among Jewish people (CMJ), for whom I volunteer, decided to establish a permanent base in Israel, having been founded on […]
‘Guilty silence’ as Jerusalem worshipers slain on day of remembrance of Holocaust — Charles Gardner
By Charles Gardner — UK Correspondent Just as many were once more committing themselves to never let the Holocaust happen again, the senseless slaughter of seven worshippers at an East Jerusalem synagogue had us reeling once more with shock. It was only last week that I was writing about the […]
Time for rededication: are we in for another reign of terror to sort the sheep from the goats?
By Charles Gardner, UK Correspondent As we approach Hanukkah, it’s a timely reminder that the conditions leading to its inception are very much with us today. For godlessness and unbelief abounded as the Syrian-Greek tyrant Antiochus Epiphanes IV unleashed his fury on the Jewish people of the second century BC. […]
God hasn’t changed His mind: a blessing, not a curse! — Charles Gardner
Hidden in the Book of Numbers are some glorious promises of Messianic redemption. And the most astonishing thing about them is that they come from a pagan source. A soothsayer from Syria is summoned by the King of Moab to put a curse on the Israelites, who are about to […]
Reflections on Joseph as a type of Jesus — Charles Gardner
I have been much inspired of late by precious new insights into the extraordinary life of Joseph, the Jewish patriarch, which clearly point to the role played by Jesus some 2 000 years later. And I am indebted, in part, to an excellent Zoom talk to supporters of the Church’s […]
