ABOUT THE FOUNDER

Edward Houstoun is the Founder and Chief Executive Director for Covenant Ministries founded in 2012. Edward was born and raised in Florida. He is married to Lisa and has one child. Edward graduated from the University of Central Florida in 1992. While living and working in Orlando, FL, in 2010 the Lord called him and he surrendered his life to Jesus Christ. Six months later Lisa surrendered her life to Jesus. With his wife and son Edward was following the Lord. Two years later the Lord gave Edward a heart, love and passion for Israel and the Jewish people.

For two months Edward was praying for Israel and the Jewish people not knowing a Jewish person or anything about Israel. One day in prayer Edward asked the Lord,"What do you want me to do?" The reply he received from the Lord changed the direction of his life. The Lord told him, "I want you to love and support Israel and the Jewish people." Edward asked "how Lord?" and the Lord again told Edward "I want you to love and support Israel and the Jewish people." Not knowing what to do, Edward continued to pray and the Lord opened doors of opportunity to love and support Israel and the Jewish people. Edward has been going to Israel three to four times per year setting shelters, working with the men and women of the IDF (Israeli Army) and being involved in different communities.

In 2012 Edward founded Covenant Ministries, a 501(c)(3) non-profit Organization serving the Lord and Loving and supporting Israel.
