DEAR FRIENDS,
AS RESURRECTION DAY COMES TO A CLOSE, the word I’m hearing is that “the tide is turning.” Amen! Jolene and I pray you have had a rich time of bonding with friends and family, and especially with the face of your God. THANK YOU JESUS FOR YOUR REDEMPTION!
I cannot remember a more peaceful day in Washington DC. It’s like God’s shalom has blanketed the Capitol city in a way similar to shabbat in Jerusalem. For all of you who are praying, we are grateful.
THE TIDE IS TURNING. Not a coincidence we are announcing tonight that the Spirit of America Virginia Beach! We’re honoring the anniversary of Robert Hunt’s foundational dedication of the land, when the Virginia Company first waded ashore. We are honored to join with Chris Mitchell Jr for a special rededication service.
Search & Rescue—Airman Rescued!
Tonight I want to briefly celebrate amazing “search and rescue” miracles which have occurred within the last 72 hours. Remember that Jesus came to seek and save the lost (Luke 19:10). This absolutely includes lost souls—but it’s not limited to it.
The first and most celebrated “search and rescue” victory is the second airman whose fighter jet went down in the Isfahan region of Iran. Three days of survival, evasion, resistance and hope for escape was met with a hard-won miracle.
News of his rescue broke just as we were entering Resurrection Day. Parabolically showcasing God’s redemption in a way that likely enriched tens of thousands of sermons.
I’m aware of many other real-time “search and rescue” victories as well. The tide is turning! Which of your “never give up” projects are coming to birth right now? What are you contending for? Who are you contending for? Ride the momentum and lets not give up!
Jen Mallan Comes Home
I have another “search and rescue mission” to celebrate with you today. Television host and dear friend Jennifer Mallan went on a special tour of Israel with a women’s group over Purim. The biblical queen Esther has always proven inspirational to Jen, who hosts a daily broadcast called “Come Home” on CTN.
And when the opportunity arose, the Lord spoke to her about the importance of spending Purim in Israel. She signed on for a journey of a lifetime.
Unexpectedly, war broke out just two days before Purim, with Israel and America attacking Iran. Jen Mallan’s tour was suddenly cut short. A dramatic exodus from Jerusalem unexpectedly brought the entire tour to Cairo, Egypt for flights home. Just before Purim.
Jen decided to stay. She wanted to remain faithful to the word the Lord had given her about praying in Jerusalem over Purim. Missiles brought Jen to bomb shelters. A flight home was arranged, but then was pushed back. Expenses began to climb.
What did Jen do? She launched into what she does best—interviewing and reporting, this time from Jerusalem. Trademark hilarity was joined with fearless vulnerability as she painted stunning portraits of beloved Israel and her people. Even in the midst of war, the depth of revelation shared made clear she was continually before God’s face.
On Passover the Jewish people crossed over the Jordan River, into the Promised Land. The waters parted. During Passover 2026 a reverse door opened—this time for Jen Mallan, host of “Come Home,” to finally come home. She arrived safely back in Tampa during the early hours of Resurrection Day.
Search and rescue. True miracles, birthed in part through relentless prayer, converging on Resurrection Day.
As Resurrection Day continually proves, our God is faithful. The scope of Christ’s salvation is beyond comprehension. Don’t give up on your loved ones. Don’t give up on God’s word to you. Don’t give up on your dreams. Jesus is always right on time.
