40 Days for Life: an Early Report

40 Days for Lifeby Aimee Herd/David Bereit : Feb 24, 2010 : 40 Days for Life

“Jesus is really, really using us to save lives!”

The 40 Days for Life spring prayer vigils began last week and fantastic testimonies are already pouring in—there have been at least 55 babies’ lives saved so far.

Below is a report from a vigil in Florida. To find out more about 40 Days for Life, and to find a prayer vigil in your area, CLICK HERE, or follow the source link provided.

Report: Early Sunday morning, local coordinator Ernie Cyr sent out an urgent message to 40 Days for Life volunteers in Pensacola, Florida. He had just found out that abortions were taking place at the city’s only abortion facility. Yes, on the Lord’s day.

Ernie’s request for prayer volunteers at the 40 Days for Life vigil was quickly answered.

It would soon become apparent that their prayers were being answered as well.

A woman drove up and told the vigil participants, “I called my sister and convinced her not to have an abortion!” (more…)

Derryn Hinch / Family First Party / Credential Application Forms / Weekend Ministry in Melbourne

Dear family and friends in Christ,

1) What a mighty God we serve, the King of kings and LORD of lords, Christ Jesus!

Many of you know that Pr Daniel was interviewed by Derryn Hinch of 3AW Radio on 10th March 2010. Well, all glory to God that one week later the podcast and photo of Pr Daniel are still on the front page of the 3AW website under the caption ‘God does work in mysterious ways.’  80-90% of the comments have been very positive in support of Pr Daniel and his uncompromising stand for Christ and the advance of the Gospel of the Kingdom of God.  Many people are actually discussing the Bible as many Christians are quoting scriptures and sharing the love and truth of Jesus on the website!

Most amazingly 3AW confirmed that their website has approximately 2,000,000 hits a month. Additionally, the personal website of Derryn Hinch had 4,200,000 hits over the last 12 months. In total that’s around 75,000 – 80,000 hits a day. Glory to God! Just imagine the number of lost souls (non-Christians) who are receiving the incredible opportunity to hear about Jesus and the Word of God on the secular radio station, especially the interview conducted by an Atheist broadcaster. God does work certainly in mysterious ways!

Don’t let politicians bully you, Lord Carey warns Christians

Lord Carey - Former Archbishop of CanteburyBy Steve Doughty – 2nd March 2010

Former Archbishop of Canterbury Lord Carey today accused politicians of trying to bully Christianity out of public life.

He complained of a ‘strident and bullying campaign’ to marginalise Christianity in the name of political correctness.

Lord Carey said: ‘We have reached the point where politicians are mocked for merely expressing their faith.

‘I cannot imagine any politician expressing concern that Britain should remain a Christian country. That reticence is a scandal and a disgrace to our history.’

Demand for Bible Outstripping Supply in China

Christian Post  – 02/21/2010 – Charles Boyd

LONDON – The U.K.-based Bible Society has reported a growing demand for copies of the Bible in China where an estimated 500,000 people convert to Christianity every year.

Although some four million Bibles were printed and distributed across China last year, the rapid growth of the church year on year means that demand for Bibles is now outstripping supply, according to the Bible Society.

The official number of Christians in China stands at 28.6 million, but it is believed the true figure could be as high as 90 million if the estimated number of worshippers at unofficial house churches is included.  

The Bibles are printed at Amity Printing Company, the only government-approved Bible printing press in China. It has printed around 70 million Bibles since it was established in 1987. Around 50 million of them have gone to Chinese believers.

Does Obama Walk the Walk When It Comes to Christians and Jews?

President Barack ObamaBy Ken Blackwell – FOXNews.com

It’s hard to call for an end to the culture wars when your own side is manning the barricades. President Obama is big on civility. He talks a very good game. But his nominee for a top slot at the Department of Justice–Dawn Johnsen–is a leading exponent of incivility. Johnsen worked with the ACLU for years. And she joined ARM–the so-called Abortion Rights Mobilization–to strip the Catholic Church of its tax-exempt status because of its pro-life advocacy. The Catholic Church eventually won that case–but not until it had spent years and millions of dollars defending itself. The Catholic Church was just the biggest ARM target. If they had succeeded against the Catholics, they surely would have come after the Southern Baptist Convention, the National Association of Evangelicals, and The Lutheran Church–Missouri Synod.

If Mr. Obama is serious about civility he needs to withdraw Dawn Johnsen’s nomination. If she is confirmed, we will see a radical anti-Catholic, pro-abortion zealot influencing policy thoughout the Justice Department—but also policy throughout the entire federal government.

What we are witnessing right now is an anti-Christian programmatic pogrom. What is a “pogrom” it’s the word that describes anti-Jewish raids by Cossacks and others in czarist Russia, but a programmatic pogrom best describes what is happening right now. These are not isolated attacks. And while we no longer have Cossacks to threaten, we now have left-wing bloggers who actually call themselves Kossacks (after the Daily Kos). (more…)

Governor Huckabee highlights ‘mission calling’ at FOX News

Mike Huckabeeby Peter Wooding : Mar 3, 2010 : ASSIST News Service

“…people ask me why I don’t do more Gospel orientated content on my show. FOX isn’t a Christian channel, it’s a news channel. They want me to be careful not to look sectarian but if anybody watches the show regularly they’re certainly going to see spiritual content whether it’s a Christian music artist or people giving very powerful testimonies of their own faith and walk with God. I’m careful to ensure we do that in the balance.” -Mike Huckabee

(Nashville, TN)—Following his quest for the Republican nomination for president in 2008, Governor Mike Huckabee shared at an NRB press conference, at the Gaylord Opryland Hotel in Nashville on Sunday, February 28, 2010, how he’d now found his mission calling at Fox News channel, where he hosts his own weekend show HUCKABEE.

“I don’t consider myself a religious broadcaster in the sense that my programming is religious, but I consider myself unapologetically a Christian Believer and I take my Christian faith to work with me everyday. I don’t leave it at the door,” explained Huckabee who served as the 44th Governor of Arkansas. (more…)

Article in The Australian / Derryn Hinch 3AW Radio Interview with Pr Daniel

Pastor DanielDear friends and family in Christ,

Click the following link and scroll down to read a reprint of part of our media release that appeared in the 9th March edition of the Australian Newspaper: http://www.theaustralian.com.au/news/opinion/tony-forget-the-the-the-er-policies-and-ah-fix-your-rhetorical-smirk/story-e6frg6zo-1225838886133

Following is the link to Pastor Daniel’s recent radio interview with Derryn Hinch of 3AW News in regard to our recent media release titled ‘Global cooling shows Divine protection restored – what would Derryn Hinch think?’

Pr Daniel stated, “Even though Derryn Hinch verbally attacked me with many harsh words, as he had the advantage of controlling the interview, I thank the Lord for every opportunity that He gives me to proclaim the uncompromising Word of God.  I feel sorry for Derryn who is obviously so lost in the spiritual darkness of confusion, uncertainty, doubt, and unbelief, as he seems to be a very hurting person who desperately needs the life transforming love of Jesus. My ministry team and I are praying for a ‘Damascus road salvation experience’ for him, also like the former Satanist on Mount Ainslie in Canberra who surrendered his life to Jesus.  Derryn could very well be another Saul, who became Paul. When you listen to this broadcast, please do not get mad with him, but pray for him.

Yes, at times the interview was very heated, but I thank God that He has given me broad shoulders to cop the flak.  According to the Bible in Matthew 5:11-10, the Sermon on the Mount from Jesus, “Blessed are those who are persecuted for righteous, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. Blessed are you when people insult you, persecute you and falsely say all kinds of evil against you because of me.” I thank the Father in heaven for giving me the right spirit to love the person who persecutes me while at the same time speaking out the truth with boldness. I am sure you will love this interview Ha! ha!”

Family First Party has lost its plot / This ABC interview will shock you

Dear family and friends in Christ,

1) Following is a link to the recent ABC Q & A program with atheist Richard Dawkins.  Also on the program were Julie Bishop (Liberal), Steve Fielding (Family First), Tony Burke (ALP) and a few others.

The main topic was Evolution vs. Creation.

Pr Daniel stated, “I watched this program yesterday as I missed the original broadcast. Sitting by my computer I was absolutely shocked and appalled at how Steve Fielding of Family First responded to the questions. On the contrary I was very impressed by both the Liberal & ALP politicians who spoke up very boldly about their Christian faith. Julie Bishop especially needs our applause and appreciation for being very bold in standing up and supporting the teaching of the Bible in all schools across Australia.”

Please take the time to watch and forward to everyone as this could determine who you vote for at the next Federal Election this November.

Messianic Leader Says Revival Breaking Out Among Jewish People

Messianic Evangelist Sid RothTuesday, 02 February 2010 – Adrienne S. Gaines – Charisma Online News

A Messianic evangelist believes revival is breaking out among Jewish communities in the U.S.

Sid Roth, founder of Georgia-based Messianic Vision and host of the It’s Supernatural television broadcast, said he has seen dozens of Jewish Americans profess faith in Christ in recent months during evangelistic events in New York and California.

Last summer in Brighton Beach, N.Y., nearly 400 Russian Jews reportedly attended an evangelistic meeting billed as a lecture on the paranormal. People were healed, Roth said, including a wheelchair-bound woman who had not been able to walk for five years.

“There was just a move of God’s Spirit, and almost the entire group stood up to make public professions of Messiah,” Roth told Charisma.

Later, at a similar meeting in California, roughly 30 Jews professed faith in Christ. “In my opinion this is unprecedented in America,” said Roth, who has ministered among Jewish communities in the Soviet Union for more than 15 years. “I’ve been in Jewish ministry over 35 years, and I’ve never heard of anything like this before.” (more…)

Muslim face veils: religious right, or security risk?

Full Face VeilAngela Shanahan | Saturday, 6 February 2010

In an opening article on this issue an Australian journalist says veils are a security risk in the West and should be banned in public.

The reports that a French parliamentary committee wants to ban the full face veil in certain circumstances has caused outrage among not only Muslims, but some respected Christian commentators as well. As an opinion writer who has closely followed issues of human rights and freedom of religion for The Australian newspaper, I too received a flurry of emails when the news broke.

One friend and colleague — the editor of Mercatornet, actually – seeking my opinion expressed his own: “To me, it seems crazy, a violation of freedoms, a victory for a certain brand of feminism, etc. But obviously, many respectable people take a different approach.”

Well, I am one of the “respectable” people to whom he refers (I hope). I do not agree with the wearing of a full face and body veil in the West. In these insecure times there are good reasons for banning it in government offices. (more…)

A powerful speech to the UN on Pro-Life

Dear family and friends in Christ,

Following is an amazing Pro-Life speech made by Congressman Chris Smith from the US at the UN General Assembly. Interestingly in 1998 while working with the American Government on legislation to protect Christians from getting persecuted in Saudi Arabia, Pr Daniel had the opportunity of spending time with this same Congressman. In his office the Lord spoke to Pr Daniel to start ‘Options + Care’, the Pregnancy Counselling Centre in Australia, after listening to this Congressman debate a bill in the US Congress to stop 7 months abortion.

Read the whole speech below as it is very interesting and informative.

A powerful speech to the UN

Excerpts from a powerful speech – Chris Smith to the UN http://www.lifenews.com/int1465.html

“Safe abortion” is the ultimate oxymoron. Child dismemberment, forced premature expulsion from the safety of the womb, chemical poisoning or deliberate starvation-one of the chemicals in RU 486 actually denies nourishment to an unborn child– can never, ever be construed to be benign, compassionate or safe… (more…)

Are Killings from within? Media release from Pr Daniel

The debate over whether Australia is a racist country has been renewed in the wake of the murdered three year old Indian boy in Melbourne overnight with Catch the Fire ministries president Pastor Daniel Nalliah suggesting the slayings perpetrated against the Sikh community might come from fellow countrymen from their country of origin.
 
As police in Melbourne hunt for the killer of three-year-old Gurshan Sing Channa, Pastor Daniel Nalliah, who is darker skinned and hails from Sri Lanka, said many would see Australia as a racist country with ‘yet another tragic death of an Indian in Australia’.
 
“I think we need to take a good look at the recent spate of attacks on mainly Indians from a Sikh background. The whole world seems to believe Australia is rampant with racism. Darker skinned people are even scared to travel to Australia,” Pastor Daniel said.
 
“My question is, if the attacks are from Whites against blacks, then we all will be possibly on the receiving end but how come the attacks are so clearly on one group of people – the Sikhs from India?”
