Dr. DeYoung has his finger on the pulse of what is considered the media “hot spot” of our time, the Middle East. On his travels in the US and around the world, Jimmy brings the latest news from the Middle East with a unique blend of political, biblical, and prophetic insight that can not be found in the media today.

Upon arriving in Israel, moved by the plight of the Israeli people and the Spirit of God, Dr. DeYoung founded the Assembly at Jerusalem, a bible preaching church that meets in the holy city. Today, Jimmy travels the world proclaiming the good news of Christ’s gift of eternal life and soon return for His Church, using radio, television, books, and the internet, as well as by preaching and teaching in churches and conferences across the globe.

Jimmy worked with the Day of Discovery television program for many years, which was produced in the Middle East. He is also heard daily and weekly on radio and internet, with the latest reports from the Middle East on several networks consisting of over 800 stations.

Jimmy is a noted conference speaker in the United States, Europe, and South America. He has authored the best selling book, “Sound The Trumpets”, produced a number of audio and video materials, including his best seller, “Ready To Rebuild”, a documentary on the building of the Third Temple.
