On Friday, October 17, 2025, I had the honor of speaking at the Global International 2025 Congress of Apostolic Leaders held in Baltimore, Maryland.
On Saturday, October 18th, we departed from Baltimore and traveled through several connecting flights; Baltimore to Detroit, then to Seattle, and onward to JFK International Airport in New York, before finally boarding our flight to Tel Aviv, Israel. Due to delays in New York, we experienced an extended layover of approximately 15½ hours before departure.
We arrived at Ben Gurion Airport on Monday, October 20th, around 4:00 p.m., and after three full days of travel, we reached our destination exhausted but thankful. That evening, we checked into the New Imperial Hotel in Old Jerusalem at approximately 7:00 p.m.
This trip to Israel was of great significance. We met daily with various leaders, beginning Tuesday, October 21st, at the Knesset Christian Allies Caucus in the Israeli Parliament, where we participated in discussions addressing global peace initiatives and President Trump’s twenty-point peace plan.
On Wednesday, October 22nd, we had a profound encounter in Old Jerusalem, praying with a Muslim gentleman before visiting and praying at the Wailing Wall (Western Wall). Later that evening, we met with former MK Rabbi Yehuda Glick and his wife, Hadas Dissen Glick, who lead the Amitsim Ministry for widows and orphans.
My wife, Dr. Adalia Hansen, who directs the WMI Dorcas Fund for Widows and Orphans, was deeply moved by their work and expressed her joy in seeing their shared mission to support vulnerable women and children. The WMI Dorcas Fund is now partnering with Amitsim to strengthen and expand these life-changing efforts.
On Thursday, October 23rd, we met with former Israeli Ambassador to Kenya, Michael Lotem, engaging in meaningful dialogue about strengthening faith-based partnerships and regional understanding.
Friday, October 24th, was spent at the Dead Sea, where we filmed television segments for our upcoming ministry broadcast. It was also a joyful moment for our family as our son had the memorable experience of riding a camel near Jericho.
On Saturday morning, October 25th, we visited Golgotha and the Garden Tomb, reflecting deeply on the power of the resurrection. In the afternoon, we traveled to Bethlehem to visit and pray with another Muslim family at the site traditionally recognized as the birthplace of Jesus.
Throughout our stay, we recorded daily television programs on location, capturing the spirit of the Holy Land and the significance of unity among believers. Dr. Adalia Hansen also conducted an insightful interview with former MK Rabbi Yehuda Glick, discussing interfaith collaboration and shared humanitarian efforts.
On Sunday, October 26th, we departed from Tel Aviv to JFK International Airport, enduring a 13-hour layover before continuing our journey home on Monday morning, October 27th, for Seattle, Washington.
It was indeed a long and tiring journey, but we count it all joy to make the sacrifice in service to our Messiah.

Please support me in your prayers and finances as it is critical to continue to sound the alarm of the dangers facing the nations and especially Jerusalem in Israel.
The Bible tells us that Jerusalem and Israel really belong to God and the Jews are only caretakers of God's property.
2 Chronicles 6:6 Revised Standard Version
6 but I have chosen Jerusalem that my name may be there and I have chosen David to be over my people Israel.’
2 Chronicles 33:4
4 And he built altars in the house of the Lord, of which the Lord had said, “In Jerusalem shall my name be forever.”
JERUSALEM IS CALLED:
A city of Righteousness—Isaiah 1:26
Ariel, the fireplace of God—Isaiah 29:1
God’s furnace is in Jerusalem—Isaiah 31:9
Jerusalem is a Holy City—Isaiah 52:1 and Nehemiah 11:1
Jeremiah 3:17 tells us that Jerusalem is the throne of the Lord
Zechariah 12:2 warns us that Jerusalem is a cup of poison
And in Zechariah it reads that Jerusalem is a burdensome stone
Zechariah 12:3 New King James Version
3 And it shall happen in that day that I will make Jerusalem a very heavy stone for all peoples; all who would heave it away will surely be cut in pieces, though all nations of the earth are gathered against it
Yes, the Bible does warn that all nations will be gathered against Jerusalem, so keep your eyes on Jerusalem as it is the epicenter of things ahead and the return of the Messiah.
President Donald Trump is a great president, yet his twenty-point peace treaty is going to fail. There can never be a two-state solution, a Palestine State. Another point, Hamas will never make a lasting peace as they are committed in their constitution to wiping out every Jew or making them pay taxes and taking control of all Israel.
