ASSIST News Service (ANS) – Tuesday, May 13, 2014
ATLANTA, GA (ANS) — One year after nearly a thousand people made commitments to follow Christ at Leading The Way’s revival gatherings in Jakarta’s Istora Stadium last May, the ministry is continuing to impact the world’s largest Muslim nation.
“Our Indonesian revival was only the beginning of a long-term outreach to Indonesia,” explained Leading The Way’s Founder and President Dr. Michael Youssef.
He added: “On March 1 this year, we launched THE KINGDOM SAT in the Indonesian language. So now on satellite television we have what we’ve been broadcasting in the Arab world for five years. Now anyone in Indonesia with a satellite dish will have access to the Gospel subtitled in their language. That’s remarkable growth from just a simple stadium evangelistic outreach.”
A team of 100 Christian leaders is following up with each person who committed his or her life to Christ at last year’s meetings in Jakarta. One of those team members was a former Muslim extremist who had become an evangelist and risked his life to bring people to the meetings: “He brought 17 buses of people every night. The second night, 30 people showed up at his doorstep, and they threatened to kill him if he took people to the final night. So he shows up with all these buses, and at the end of the meetings they were interviewing him on camera with his face covered, and my son Jonathan asked him, ‘How come they threatened your life, and yet you are here and you brought all these people?’ He said, ‘If they kill me, I go to Jesus,’ with a big smile on his face. “I wish every Western Christian could watch this incredible man of courage. He’s not afraid. He said, ‘I’d rather see these people saved than worry about my life,’ and he is one of those people who is doing a lot of the follow-up.”
Dear friends & family in Christ, 1) We thank and praise God for every opportunity He gives us to lift His name on high! Yesterday the City of Casey Council…

Why are Christians, as a new Pew report documents, the most persecuted religious group in the world? And why is their persecution occurring primarily throughout the Islamic world? (In the category on “Countries with Very High Government Restrictions on Religion,” Pew lists 24 countries—20 of which are Islamic and precisely where the overwhelming majority of “the world’s” Christians are actually being persecuted.)
The reason for this ubiquitous phenomenon of Muslim persecution of Christians is threefold:
Christianity is the largest religion in the world. There are Christians practically everywhere around the globe, including in much of the Muslim world. Moreover, because much of the land that Islam seized was originally Christian—including the Middle East and North Africa, the region that is today known as the “Arab world”—Muslims everywhere are still confronted with vestiges of Christianity, for example, in Syria, where many ancient churches and monasteries are currently being destroyed by al-Qaeda linked, U.S. supported “freedom fighters.” Similarly, in Egypt, where Alexandria was a major center of ancient Christianity before the 7th century Islamic invasions, there still remain at least 10 million Coptic Christians (though some put the number at much higher). Due to sheer numbers alone, then, indigenous Christians are much more visible and exposed to attack by Muslims than other religious groups throughout the Arab world. Yet as CNS News puts it, “President Obama expressed hope that the ‘Arab Spring’ would give rise to greater religious freedom in North Africa and the Middle East, which has had the world’s highest level of hostility towards religion in every year since 2007, when Pew first began measuring it. However, the study finds that these regions actually experienced the largest increase in religious hostilities in 2012.”

As a child she was taught to believe the Jews were monsters that wanted to kill Arab children. By God’s grace, she overcame a culture of hatred and found a new reason for hope after she settled in the United States.
“I grew up in a culture of jihad and martyrdom,” says Nonie Darwish, the founder of Former Muslims United. Although born in Cairo, she spent her childhood in the Gaza Strip because her father, Colonel Mustafa Hafez, headed Egypt’s military intelligence there. (Egypt controlled Gaza until 1967.)
Her life changed dramatically at only eight-years-old when her father was killed by an explosive device planted in a book by a double-agent working for Israeli intelligence.
After her father’s assassination, her mother moved the family back to Cairo. She lived there during a turbulent period, which included the 1967 and 1973 wars with Israel. “In school, we recited poetry wishing ourselves to be martyrs in the jihad against Israel,” she recalls.
In the mosque, messages were filled with the call to jihad. She heard curses at the end of every service against infidels, Jews, and non-Muslims. “I bought all the propaganda like everybody else,” she notes. “I really believed it as a child.”
Dear family & friends in Christ,
1) We thank and praise God for His awesome presence last weekend at the meetings held in the Western Suburbs of Melbourne.
Pr Daniel with a team from CTFM ministered at 3 meetings, where many people from different churches came to hear the word of God.
Glory to God the people were mightily blessed at the meetings, with some weeping aloud as the presence of God swept through the place.
People were greatly encouraged and challenged through the word of God and the power of real life testimonies shared by Pr Daniel.
Several times people jumped out of their seats and started shouting with great joy.
Pr Daniel stated, “It somewhat seemed like a Holy Ghost riot breaking out. I get so excited when I see people getting set free from all types of bondages. It is so sad when a church only goes through its pre-planned programs and you can predict what is going to happen next?? This is why many people have stopped going to church, as many have told me how boring church is.
But the great difference is when you are open to the Holy Ghost you just cannot predict as to what’s going to happen next. This gives me great joy. As the agenda of the church service is surrendered to the Holy Ghost. I thank God for Pastors who are willing to do so.”
2) Pr Daniel will be ministering God’s prophetic Word and praying for people this Sunday 24th May at the 9.30am & 6:30pm worship services at CTFM at 30 Star Crescent in Hallam, Melbourne.
Please note that the morning service will be live webcast at www.reformationharvestfire.com beginning at 10:30am (AEDT).

To mark Monday’s 20th anniversary of the Rwandan genocide, where close to 800,000 people were killed, one survivor working with Operation Christmas Child has shared his personal story of visiting and forgiving the people who murdered his family. He also revealed that the country has experienced remarkable healing and growth in the past couple of decades.
“It was a miracle that God opened up the opportunity for me to meet one of the guys, the guy who killed my uncle, and I was able to share that message of love and forgiveness, and to be able to plant the seeds of hope and love in his life. And [tell him] that Christ also came and died for him, and He loves him just as much as He loves me,” Alex Nsengimana shared with The Christian Post.
“It was probably one of the toughest days of my life, but also one of my most freeing days, because I was able to let go and was able to have the peace that only Jesus Christ can offer.”
Nsengimana was only four years old when he lost his biological mother to HIV in Rwanda. He never knew his father, but had a great relationship with his grandmother, who took care of him, his younger brother and his older sister.

Thousands of Chinese Christians have mounted an extraordinary, round-the-clock defence of a church in a city known as the ‘Jerusalem of the East’ after Communist Party officials threatened to bulldoze their place of worship.
In an episode that underlines the fierce and long-standing friction between China’s officially atheist Communist Party and its rapidly growing Christian congregation, Bible-carrying believers this week flocked to the Sanjiang church in Wenzhou hoping to protect it from the bulldozers.
Their 24-hour guard began earlier this week when a demolition notice was plastered onto the newly-constructed church which worshippers say cost around 30 million yuan (£2.91 million) and almost six years to build.
Officials claimed the church had been built illegally and used red paint to daub the words: “Demolish” and “Illegal construction” onto its towering facade.

Militant atheists should “get over” Britain being a Christian nation, the communities secretary, Eric Pickles, has said.
Pickles calls on atheists to stop imposing their “politically correct intolerance on others.”
The member of Parliament’s address to the Conservative Spring Forum in London is not the first time he has highlighted Britain’s identity as a Christian country.
In February 2012, Pickles fast-tracked new laws to override a high court’s decision to ban councils from having prayers at official meetings.
It followed the case of a local atheist ex-councilor who sued Bideford Town Council over prayers being said at meetings. The Christian Institute’s Legal Defence Fund supported the council.

Hillsong “takes over” Times Square’s digital billboards in New York City on Thursday, April 24, 2014, by promoting “Jesus” and “No Other Name,” the name of Hillsong Live’s upcoming album and the church’s 2014 conference theme.
Hillsong, a Pentecostal powerhouse with church campuses spanning the globe, recently descended on New York City’s Times Square to declare the name of Jesus before thousands of onlookers while also shooting cover art for a new album that shares its name with the megachurch’s 2014 conference theme.
Instead of flashing the usual ads, news reports or the day’s market results, 21 digital screens played for an hour a looped video comprised of just a few frames flashing repeatedly: “Jesus” and “No Other Name.”
Jay Argaet, Hillsong’s Art and Communications director, told The Christian Post that at least 400 people from Hillsong NYC church joined in the nighttime campaign at Times Square, one of the world’s most sought out tourist destinations.
Times Square, located between 7th Avenue and Broadway from 42nd and 47th Streets, is trafficked by an average of 360,000 pedestrians every day, many of them out-of-towners.

Dear family & friends in Christ,
1) Week after week we keep thanking the Lord for His mighty hand at work throughout our country.
On the weekend gone by Pr Daniel ministered along with a team from CTFM in Bendigo, Vic.
The presence of God was so awesome in every meeting. The people gathered in this small church were mightily blessed. Several people who don’t go to church came for the meeting, as they saw the local newspaper add. They were really touched by God.
One lady stated, “Had I known it was a church service I would have not come. However, now I have no regrets for coming as my opinion of a church without any guts has changed after hearing Daniel speak. Oh, how I wish that all churches will be like this.”
She spent much time talking to Pr Daniel and the team and even offered to help in the RUAP campaign. Praise God.
The Sunday night meeting was the highlight when the presence of God fell so strongly that Pr Daniel could not preach and the people at the meeting spent most of the evening on their knees worshipping the King of kings. Glory to God.
2) Pr Daniel will be ministering God’s prophetic Word and praying for people this Sunday 11th May on Mother’s Day at the 9.30am & 6:30pm worship services at CTFM at 30 Star Crescent in Hallam, Melbourne.
Please note that the morning service will be live webcast at www.reformationharvestfire.com beginning at 10:30am (AEDT).
3) Pr Daniel will be ministering God’s prophetic Word and praying for people at RUAP & Holy Spirit revival meetings on Saturday 17th & Sunday 18th May at I AM House of Worship at 11 Desire Place (off Old Geelong Rd behind Dulux building) in Hoppers Crossing (West Melbourne).
Dear family & friends in Christ,
1) We must thank God every day for our nation of Australia.
Last weekend was truly history making as many Christians gathered outside the Federal Parliament building on the lawn to lift up praise, worship & prayer to the King of kings and the Lord of lords in Canberra, Australia’s capital city.
This glorious public celebration was organized by the Indonesian Australian churches in Sydney as the Lord placed in their hearts to come to Canberra and lift up prophetic worship to Jesus.
This was a great afternoon where the airways around Parliament were filled with praise, worship & prayer through a high powered PA system and a great bunch of musicians and singers lifting praises to God for 3 hours.
A large group of worshippers carrying banners & flags marched around the place, declaring Australia for Jesus.
Several Pastors led in prayer with great passion and love for Australia. Then Hilary & Paul who run Canberra House of Prayer made several very strategic prophetic declarations over Australia. Afterward, Pr Daniel Nalliah brought the Word of God. The sky was overcast, but as the words were spoken ‘Let the light of Jesus shine’, just then the clouds parted for a few seconds and there was bright sunshine. It was just amazing.
Everyone who passed by was given a t-shirt which stated “His Kingdom shall reign”. The place was filled with the presence of God. One sound guy, who is not a believ
er commented, “I 
feel like chills running through my spine.” There was much warfare in the Spirit, pulling down the spiritual strongholds over Canberra and then there was a real sense of victory.
We praise God for the Indonesian Australians who planned such a great event. It brings us great joy to see their heart for our country Australia.
On Sunday Pr Daniel preached in Canberra and those who were at the meeting were mightily blessed.
Let God arise and His enemies be scattered!

Gathered in a home in Jordan, 15 local believers discussed the life-altering experience of Arab-to-Arab outreach. These were Jordanian Christians who had gone on outreach trips to Turkey and Lebanon.
As the conversation progressed, it became apparent each of them had experienced a profound shift in faith. For the first time in many of their lives, their eyes were opened to the spiritual need of their Muslim neighbors.
From Jordan
Jordan is 98 percent Muslim, leaving the minority Christian population noticeably weak and vulnerable. Despite living in a Muslim society, most of the Jordanian Christians who participated in the outreach had never been in a Muslim home, much less shared the gospel with a Muslim. Being outside their country to minister to Muslims opened their eyes to the need for ministry in their own country.
For many of the local believers, they came to understand the spiritual needs of Muslims by first addressing the physical needs of Syrian refugees. The tragic war in Syria has left millions of suffering families around the region. Jordan, along with other countries bordering Syria, has been flooded with refugees. Traveling to Lebanon and Turkey opened the Jordanian believers’ hearts to the plight of the refugees. Moreover, it helped them realize the spiritual need of the Muslims around them back home.
