Dear family & friends in Christ across the nations of the world,
What a mighty God we serve, the reigning King of kings, the LORD Jesus Christ!
After the mission to Sri Lanka, a part of the CTFM team joined Pastor Daniel for another mission in Pekanbaru, Indonesia, a city known to be one of the most radical Islamic places in all of Indonesia.
As you read this exciting email you will need to remind yourself that what you are reading did not happen in America, Europe or Australia, but in the biggest Muslim country in the world, Indonesia!
Rain clouds gathered over the city and it started raining the first night that the CTFM team arrived in Pekanbaru. Since an open air crusade was scheduled for that night, the CTFM team along with other leaders started binding the powers of darkness from disrupting the meeting. Glory to God, the rain stopped. During the 2 nights of the miracle healing crusades around 30,000 people gathered to hear the Word of God. On the 2nd night suddenly it started to rain very hard. Every one lifted their hands to heaven and started praying. No one left the grounds. They were soaking wet, but stayed in the rain. Minutes later the rain stopped, but the grounds were now full of mud. The people just simply stood right through the meeting for almost 4 hours.
Over the 2 nights around 2000 precious souls were born-again into the Kingdom of God. Amongst them were many Muslims and Buddhists. Some Muslims had their heads covered, but lifted both their hands boldly and publically, accepting Jesus as their personal Lord and Savior. On the 2nd night when the altar call was g
iven for those who want to be baptised in the Holy Spirit and pray in tongues, thousands responded. Glory to God around 3000 people were filled with the Holy Spirit and prayed in tongues for the very first time. During this time more than 10,000 people all at once lifted their hands and started praying in tongues. There were screaming noises everywhere as many people were delivered and set free from demonic spirits as the Holy Spirit swept through the place.
After preaching the Word of God Pastor Daniel gave an altar call for people who needed a healing touch as many responded to this call. After prayer many were instantly healed from deafness, blindness, some even left their wheel chairs and started walking. Many others were healed from other various conditions. So many wanted share their testimony, unfortunately there was not enough time to hear them all.
One Buddhist lady, whose husband was in hospital with major kidney problems, came to the meeting on the first night and gave her life to Jesus. When she went to hospital the next day her husband told her, “We need to follow Jesus.†She was quite surprised. Then she found out that while she was giving her life to Jesus at the meeting, at the same time a bright light filled the room and Jesus appeared in the hospital room where her husband was and told him to follow Him. When he immediately gave his life to Jesus, the Lord touched him and said, “Now you are healed.†The wife shared this amazing testimony of how her husband was healed. She grabbed Pastor Daniel’s hand and started kissing it with much joy.
Many churches united to organise these meetings and declared that they have never had such powerful meetings with so many people in their city attending a Christian gathering. The gathering of 30,000 over 2 nights for the Catch The Fire revival crusade was nothing but the hand of the Lord, in this Muslim dominated city.
On Sunday Pastor Daniel ministered at 4 services where there was 1500 people per service. This same church has 6 services on Sunday. Pastors John and Gary, who were a part of the team who went from Australia, also ministered 3 times on Sunday at different churches. They too experienced mighty miracles as they prayed for the sick.
Pastor Daniel stated, “I personally want to thank Pastor Ricky and the leadership of the Bethel churches for doing a fantastic job along with other churches in organising such a glorious weekend. I know that Indonesia will not be the same again. We thank God that He mightily used us there, but all the credit goes to the men and woman of God in Indonesia for their faithfulness to stand their ground in the midst of persecution. They have had some of their churches bombed, and even some pastors attacked but they are very bold in their stand for Jesus.
Indonesia is truly experiencing revival right through out the whole land. There are many churches with congregations of 10-40 thousand people. I believe God will cause Indonesia to rise up for Jesus and be a forerunner for the coming of the Lord. I am sure we in Australia will be also blessed through the Indonesian church. Their genuine hunger for the Lord is just absolutely amazing. We were so blessed and challenged. I pray that we Australians will get the same hunger and passion for Jesus.
I also want to take this opportunity to thank Pastor Lambert and the leadership team in Sri Lanka for their part in organizing and working hard to see the revival meetings in Sri Lanka be a great success.â€

Praise be to the Lord Jesus Christ for such an amazing night, testimony and also how His never ending and never late grace swept through my nation of Indonesia!
Thank you to Pastor Daniel and the CTFM team for their amazing ministries. I thank God every time I heard good news from you guys. I pray that you can keep doing the works God has trusted you with.
Can I please point out however, just so some of the other readers aren’t confused, the city’s name is actually “Pekanbaru”.
Once again, thank you for your God-gloryfying ministry. You have truly been a blessing.
God bless you,
Suwandy
Please come over to South Africa. We have the largest India population outside India. Thank you.

What a mighty God we have.
We have been receiving your news letters for some time now and we can not express how they have lifted us up. We are only pensioners and are not able to support you financially. However, you are in our prayers. We only wished we would live closer by. One Sunday we were in Melbourne at Ferntree Gully and had all the plans to visit you at the evening service. However our young relative needed us more and we had to make a choice. WE also have not got a close venue for prayer. However, we are friends of Ray and Louise Wilkie and hopefully can do something about this in the near future. We appreciate so much your updates and the books and DVD of pastor Danny are passed on to many others. We did not think we would ever go on the net but are glad the Lord has primped us to do so. Thank you again for your time and effort.
With all our Christian love John and Fien (Josephine)
Glory Hallelujah..
Wonderful news..
God bless you

This is such exciting news! I know Vanessa Shute and look forward to catching up with all her to hear the testimonies. It is so encouraging to know that Revival is taking place in other parts of the world – we are looking forward to the time Revival comes to the Central Coast of New South Wales.
God bless you all at Catch the Fire Ministries. – Jacqui

Praise the Lord for the wonderful things He is doing in Indonesia through Ptr. Danny. May His Name be glorified!
I’m sharing this with our leaders in the church.
Best regards,

Hi Prayer Team,The man with the “blood tumour”you prayed for ,has
miraculously lost all pain, and feels extraordinary in himself. Top
specialists assessed him 2 months ago and had no good answers .He says
he can live with it as long as there is NO pain.This has gone up into
his brain.To operate will mean opening up the side of his face and is
very risky in medical minds.Blessings,C.and N.

Dear Jason, We rejoice to hear how the Lord has been using Danny and the team in Sri Lanka. I am battling some virus at the moment but believing God for healing. God bless.

Hi Pastor Daniel,
Good to receive your emails, there is always something exciting happening, Praise God.
Recently i have been watching on God Tv a move of the spirit in Mobile Alabama the young man speaking is Nathan Morris from the UK a preachers son who was totally backslidden, and at the age of 22 had an awesome encounter with the Lord, and was under the power of The Spirit for about 3 hours, and he felt like he had been plugged into a light socket, he has been totally transformed, he preachs the cross, the blood and repentence, he’s 30 years of age now. He’s on over this weekend, you can watch on line at http://www.bayoftheholyspirit.com…..that may not be the correct site but something like it.
We need a revival in this country, i’m getting very disallusioned with “the church”, were i attend, we have just been taken over by another fellowship, and this has been planned for over a year without the bulk of the congregation knowing, it was just announced 2 weeks ago out of the blue. Its like big corporations taking over other busness’s, and leaving the shareholders in the dark!!!! A few months ago i woke up one morning with the thought “nothing is as it seems”…..it sure isn’t.
One of my main prayers is that God would raise up His David’s (those who really have a heart for God and His people) and He would put down the sauls, and that He would have His Endtime Generals to lead the Army of God. I believe Pastor Danny that you are one of those Generals.
Love and blessings in Jesus

God is waking the complacent church as time nears the end of this age and the beginning of a far better one. Praise Our Mighty Lord Jesus Christ!!!! Reading the testimonies and seeing so many turn to Jesus makes me teary eyed every time! In the arms of Jesus there is rest and acceptance for all!!! In His Love David
