Jesus is Alive and Living in Australia
Saturday, January 15, 2011 By Alan Metcalfe Special to ASSIST News Service
IRVINE, CA (ANS) — If you have been looking for Jesus this past week, He has been busy in Australia. For sure He has also been in Brazil, Peru, Germany, and wherever there has been need, but for sure, He has been in Australia this week; and He is staying on.
In Brisbane alone, a city of 2 million people, 50,000 people have officially registered as volunteers; and you can multiply this number by at least 10, when all the unofficial volunteers are counted. There has been an incredible outpouring of community spirit; and where that spirit is; there is Jesus Christ among the people.
All across the cities of Brisbane and Ipswich; and throughout the state, there has been an incredible outpouring of support from Queenslanders to help those in need at this time.
The flooded Metcalfe home at Goodna, Queensland, about 30 miles west of Brisbane. At the time this photo was taken, the water was starting to fall. “We believe the water covered the roof at the peak,’ said Alan Metcalfe
Â
After the news spread that our home at Goodna, a suburb on the eastern edge of Ipswich in Queensland, had been submerged by flood waters and badly damaged, we have seen dozens of volunteers coming to help to us and our neighbors, and for this we are very thankful Thank you also for the ASSIST News readers who have emailed their prayers and support. Thank you. This is what Christianity is all about. This is Jesus Christ at work in the world.
Stories of Heroism Emerge from Aussie Floods
by Aimee Herd : Jan 14, 2011 : Bryony Jones – CNN.com
“I can only imagine what was going on inside to give up his life to save his brother, even though he was petrified of water. He is our little hero.”
A CNN.com report notes the courageous actions by some of those trapped by the horrific flooding in Australia this week.
In one instance, Queensland teenager Jordan Rice sacrificed his own life to save his brother’s when the family became trapped in their car as a sudden flash flood overtook it. (Photo: CNN.com)
Jordan, his mother and his younger brother, Blake, struggled to survive on the roof of the car, as they waited for rescuers to help them to safety. When help arrived planning to take Jordan first, he demanded that they save his little brother and mother before him.
Blake was rescued, but it was too late to help either Jordan or his mom. The boy’s father, John Tyson, who had not been with them at the time, told a local newspaper, “Jordan can’t swim and is terrified of water. But when the man went to rescue him, he said ‘save my brother first.’
“I can only imagine what was going on inside to give up his life to save his brother, even though he was petrified of water. He is our little hero,” said Tyson.
Ted Williams’ Mom: “God Has Answered My Prayer”
Jan. 6, 2011
Ted Williams, “Man with Golden Voice,” Speaks
(CBS)Â Ted Williams, the homeless man with the pitch-perfect voice found panhandling on the side of an Interstate highway ramp in Columbus, Ohio, apparently won’t be homeless – or jobless for long.
He was spotted by a reporter, who made a video of Williams that went viral on YouTube, attracting three million hits.
Then, he appeared in an exclusive interview on “The Early Show” Wednesday. And he’s been inundated with job offers ever since.
But his biggest wish is – to reunite with his 90-year-old mother, Julia Williams, who’s back in Brooklyn, where he grew up.
And Ted flew to New York to finally see his mom again.
Cavs offer homeless man with golden voice, job and house
By: Garrett Downing
CLEVELAND – A day after a homeless man from Columbus became an Internet sensation, the Cleveland Cavaliers have offered the man a job and a house, the team confirmed to NewsChannel5.
Ted Williams has become a national phenomenon overnight, and during an interview on Columbus radio station 97.9 Wednesday morning, a spokeswoman from the Cavs called in and made him the offer.
The team offered Williams full-time voiceover work with the Cavs and Quicken Loans, and also offered to pay a mortgage on a home.
“We’d like to offer you full time work with the Cleveland Cavaliers, as well as Quicken Loans Arena,†spokeswoman Tracy Marek said. “On top of it, because we know you’re a person trying to get up and on your feet, Quicken Loans is actually offering to pay a mortgage on a home.â€
“That’s the best deal ever!†Williams said.
Nearly 70 Thousand Make Commitments for Christ in Dominican Republic
by Aimee Herd : Jul 19, 2010 : Joshua A. Goldberg – Christian Post
“Projects like this show that evangelism is not only for pastors, but for anyone who longs for those around them to experience the hope and love found only in Jesus Christ.”
 The Christian Post reports on the effectiveness of BGEA’s My Hope ministry in the Dominican Republic, as 69,188 people turned to the Lord during the evangelism outreach this year.
Over 5,500 churches worked together on the project which involved programs where Christians opened their homes for meetings and events—a combined total of 59,000 of them—including a TV sermon and testimony from either Rev. Billy or Franklin Graham.
Bill Conard, Vice President of international ministries for the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association noted, “These faithful Christians took a bold step in inviting their friends and neighbors to their homes, and God truly worked through their efforts and prayers.”
Are the QLD floods the result of Kevin Rudd speaking against Israel?
Dear family & friends in Christ,
It is 11.50pm on Friday night the 7th of January. You might wonder what I am doing in my office at this time. Well we are all at the all night prayer meeting at the CTFM base. We started the prayer meeting at 7.30pm and would be finishing at 6am but this issue was so urgent, I thought I must get the info out to you as soon as possible, so that we can repent on behalf of Australia.
Around 8pm on Friday night the 7th of January we had a strong prompting by the Holy Spirit to repent on behalf of Australia. As we started doing so, I was reminded that every time America went against Israel, there was disaster in the land and this has been documented over the years.
Then at once I was reminded of Kevin Rudd speaking against Israel in Israel on 14th December 2010. It is very interesting that Kevin Rudd is from QLD. Is God trying to get our attention? Yes, I believe so.
Also the Lord said to us, “ I will humble Australia and bring her down on her knees. As she has taken pride in my blessing, and man has taken the glory and not given it to Meâ€.
Glorious Praise & Worship ushered in the new year at CTFM base
Dear family & friends in Christ,
Â
The Ushering in of the new year was celebrated around the world with fire crackers, parties and family gatherings at homes etc, but the most exciting news is that there were also groups of Christians around the world who came together in prayer and worship to usher in the new year! Glory to God!
Â
Some of you may be surprised to know that also there was a another group of people who were very active during new years eve night, and that was the satanic cults and witchcraft covens. In fact we received messages that the covens had surrounded the Catch The Fire base and covered a five kilometre area trying to stop what we were doing. We were also informed that some coven members were in attendance at our meeting.
Â
Well glory to God, we were so excited to hear the news that the covens were trying hard to disrupt our meeting. This so challenged the people that the place exploded with mighty praise and worship right throughout the night. The presence of God was so strong, at times the people could hardly stand up! There was an amazing spirit of intercession at the meeting and warfare prayer.
Â
The place was just bursting with God’s mighty presence. As the new year was ushered in, People danced, and shouted out loud proclamations of victory and declared prophetically “AUSTRALIA FOR JESUS!” three times. Then the showfars and trumpets sounded, while the musicians lifted up worshipful praise to Jesus. People aslo danced with banners and tambourines.Â

WE NEED Another JESUS MOVEMENT
By J. Lee Grady
Share In today’s hip, sophisticated churches, we often forget to preach about Jesus. Let’s get back to basics.
I became a serious Christian at the tail end of the Jesus movement. I was too young to remember the hippie beads, tie-dyed shirts and “Jesus Is Groovy” slogans, but the songs were still popular when I was in college (from musicians such as Andrae Crouch, Love Song and Barry McGuire), as were the movies (especially The
Cross and the Switchblade.)
The Jesus movement was like a spiritual tsunami that washed over hundreds of thousands of young people in the late 1960s and early ’70s and brought them into a personal relationship with Christ. Some of these kids had been drug addicts and social misfits; most were just average Joes and Janes who discovered that Jesus is a lot more exciting than traditional churches had led them to believe…
Lately I find myself waxing nostalgic for those days-not because I want to return to the awkward fashions and hairstyles of 1972, but because I miss the spiritual simplicity of that era. The Jesus
movement was primarily focused on-surprise!-Jesus. Theology was not complicated, pastors weren’t trying to be hip or sophisticated or tech-savvy; and we hadn’t yet created a Christian subculture with its own celebrities and political power bases.
Bush Memoir Points to Faith-Based Decisions
Thursday, 11 November 2010 04:19 PM Jimmy Stewart News Â
He never would have made it to the White House in 2001 as the country’s 43rd president without the faith-based decision he made in 1986.
“I could not have quit drinking without faith,” former President George W. Bush writes in his memoir, Decision Points, which released Tuesday. “I also don’t think my faith would be as strong if I hadn’t quit drinking.”
It was the first significant decision among several that ultimately solidified Bush’s resolve to act on his belief that God was calling him to lead the nation as president, the memoir shows, according to a report published Wednesday by Religion News Service (RNS).
That his politics were influenced by his faith in God after Bush took office in Jan. 2001is no revelation. But now he recounts in his own words, across the 497 pages, the ways his religious belief shaped his life and his politics, and thus his administration, RNS reported. His reliance on God, though not the central thrust of the book, remains a theme throughout, the report stated.
Church Growth Exploding in Cuba
by Teresa Neumann : Nov 17, 2010 : Mission Network News
Because music is such a major part of Cubans’ lives, many musicians are coming to Christ as well.
(Cuba)—Cuba is seeing one of the fastest church growth rates in the world, so much so, that the Southern Baptist International Mission Board (IMB) says there aren’t enough churches to hold all the Believers.
As reported in Mission Network News, church growth in Cuba is surpassing the speed of construction for houses of worship, which leaves some of the congregations worshipping in houses, garages, yards or on rooftops.
According to the report, an IMB team discovered that—because music is such a big part of Cuban life—one of every five people is involved in music in some way and as a result, many musicians are coming to Christ.
In 1960, Cuban Baptist churches numbered 210. Growth was slow over the next three decades, increasing that number by just 28.
WHEN HIS FATHER AND MOTHER FORSOOK HIM
Gospel for Asia – November 16, 2010
Ajay Chattopadhyay’s parents want nothing to do with Jesus Christ. In fact, they persecute their son for his faith in the Lord. But that was not always the case.
When Gospel for Asia-supported missionary Jyoti Banerjee shared the Good News with Ajay and his parents, all three chose to leave their traditional religion and follow Jesus. When Ajay decided he wanted to learn more of God’s Word, Jyoti encouraged him to attend a Gospel for Asia-supported Bible college.
Problems arose after Ajay enrolled in the Bible college. His relatives joined together, threatening Ajay’s parents with certain “inevitable consequences” if they did not reject their new faith. Because of continuous pressure, they turned their backs on Jesus and returned to their former faith. Ajay, shocked, began crying out to the Lord for them.
When Ajay returned home for vacation, he discovered that the religious teachings of their old faith had captured his parents’ hearts again. They tried convincing him to abandon Jesus, too, but he refused. He implored them to understand their need for Jesus. Angry, they forced him out of the house and told him not to come back until he had given up his faith in Christ.
