California Church Stands Up for India’s Untouchables

Charisma News – 1/27/2012 – George Thomas/CBN News Sr. Reporter

They are called “untouchables,” or dalits–millions of Indian men, women, and children born into a caste system that views them as impure, less than human. Despite laws to protect them, these outcasts face daily discrimination. (CBN)

They are called “untouchables,” or dalits—millions of Indian men, women and children born into a caste system that views them as impure, less than human. Despite laws to protect them, these outcasts face daily discrimination.

They are also the single largest victims of human trafficking in the world. Now, one Southern California church is on a mission to help free the Dalits of India through education, a biblical message of hope and a movie about their plight.

A Dalit’s Destiny

Every single day, somewhere in India, a Dalit is humiliated, assaulted, raped, beaten and killed. Considered outcasts not even worthy to be in the caste system, the vast majority of them are poor, illiterate and survive on less than $2 a day.

Salvations & Baptism in the Holy Spirit in Canberra/Pr Daniel Sydney

Dear family & friends in Christ,The crowd worshipping
1) We praise and thank our amazing Heavenly Father for another wonderful weekend of ministry filled with the fire of the Holy Spirit!

Pr Daniel ministered in Canberra on Sunday morning & evening. We are so thankful to God for the people who gathered from several different churches to hear the Word of God.

At these services two young people gave their lives to Jesus at the altar, and one of them was just sobbing and crying in the presence of God.

The whole church responded to the altar call, and many who had never ever prayed in tongues before got baptised with the Holy Spirit, and proceeded to pray in tongues for the very first time. The Pastor and his wife stated, ‘This is the begining of revival!’

At one point, the people at the altar started worshipping the Lord and the place was filled with the presence of the Holy Ghost. Suddenly, just an amazing warfare anointing entered the place, and people started travailing and praying for Australia, and in particular Canberra. Just then Pr Daniel had prophetic Word for the church in Canberra.

Exciting update with photos from Christmas & New Year at CTFM / Pr Daniel ministering in Canberra this Sunday 6th Jan

Dear family & friends in Christ

1) What an amazing Christmas season it has been with Christmas carols being played in shopping malls around the country, people catching up with each other, lots of food, parties, etc. and I know that many of you would have taken the opportunity to share with someone, ‘Jesus is the Reason for Season!”

If you had an opportunity to do so, please send us a brief email of your testimony as we would like to share your story with our network around the world.

We at Catch The Fire had a fantastic Christmas Carol’s service, singing many Christmas carols, with special items & yummy food. Then we had a great Christmas Eve service, and dawned Christmas at church. It was just so wonderful.

On Christmas Day, Pastor Daniel and his family joined together with people who do not have family in Australia and had a special lunch at church. This was so wonderful. Two things in particular caught the eyes of everyone present. One young man called Barry, was suddenly spotted crying in a corner by Pr Daniel and others.

Pr Daniel put his arms around him and asked him why he was crying. He responded, “I am the only child in the family. Mum & Dad are no more, as they died a few years ago. I am feeling very lonely.” Then others too came around him and told him that we were now his family and that we love him very much. Minutes later Barry was smiling and telling people, “I found a new family. Glory to God.”

Another gentlemen called Jeff came for the Christmas lunch, and that was his very first time in church. He too had no family. He was living alone all by himself. Many people from church welcomed him and showed much love. Pr Daniel spent some time talking to him, and then led him to Jesus. Glory to God, on Sunday Jeff came to church and shared a brief testimony. He said, “I feel I have found a new family, as I didn’t have a family”.

We thank God for every opportunity He gives us to love and share the Good News of the Gospel to another precious soul!

New Year’s Eve was also great night as the church was packed out, buzzing with great excitement. People worshipped, praised God and thanked Him for all His wonderful blessings in 2012.

As 2013 dawned, the people shouted out with joy and then declared ‘AUSTRALIA FOR JESUS’ in 2013 three times!

The Spiritual Avalanche That Could Kill Millions

12/11/2012 Steve Hill – Charisma Magazine

 This is coming to you from a man who has just passed through the valley of the shadow of death. Since my close call with eternity just a short while ago … everything has become clearer. I can hear His whisper. Unabated obedience has become my mandate. That is why I’m writing this word from the Lord.

A few days ago, after enjoying quality time with Jesus, I was surprised by an alarming vision. I saw a massive, majestic mountain covered in glistening snow. It reminded me of the Matterhorn in the Swiss Alps. Its peaks were sparkling white and I was amazed by God’s attention to detail. It was so realistic I wanted to go skiing! But I sensed that there was more that the Holy Spirit was about to reveal. As I closed my eyes, I was in a winter wonderland bustling with thousands of vacationers. The ski lodge, condos, hotels and cabins were at full capacity at this popular resort.

Day quickly turned to night as the skiers, snowboarders and sports enthusiasts were settling in. Anticipation grew as the snow began to fall. Everyone headed to bed believing tomorrow would be a day of sheer enjoyment on freshly covered slopes. For an avid skier, the exhilaration of being the first one to race down a new blanket of snow is a dream come true.

Throughout the night, winter storms dropped several feet of new snow on the slopes. The night ski patrol was put on full alert. Their mission was clear. With the potential of killer avalanches they took to their posts.

Plan for mosque draws anti-Islam sentiment

ANGER at plans for a mosque and evangelical church to be built side-by-side in Melbourne’s east has spilled over amid claims Islam ”directly contravenes our freedom values”.

It was standing room only at the City of Casey chambers in Narre Warren on Tuesday night at one of the last meetings before the council debates a proposal to build a mosque and community centre on a vacant industrial lot in Green Street, Doveton.

The mosque would be next to the church and headquarters of Catch the Fire Ministries, run by controversial anti-Islam Pastor Danny Nalliah who was acquitted of a racial vilification charge brought by the Islamic Council of Victoria in 2006. The church has already been approved by council and construction is expected to begin within weeks.

Residents at the meeting cited traffic concerns, noise pollution, and fears the mosque would be used to preach hate speech.

Mayor Amanda Stapledon repeatedly asked the gallery of about 50 people to be quiet amid booing, cheering and heckling.

”This is not Afghanistan, have some guts for a change!” one man yelled at councillors. Another carried a sign that read: ”We love the Moslems but do not accept the teachings of the Koran”.

Council erupts over proposed Mosque next to Catch The Fire

Dear family & friends in Christ,

We at CTFM are so thankful to everyone who signed the petition against the building of a large Mosque right next to our newly planned CTFM church in Doveton, Victoria. We received more than 1000 signatures and very successfully submitted them to the City of Casey Council yesterday at the Council meeting.

The Casey Council was packed out with more than 100 people, including some holding placards calling on the Mosque project to be rejected by the Council and not to give the building permit. This included CTFM church members, local residents & factory owners.

In total there were more than 1600 signatures against the Mosque submitted by 4-5 different petitions by local residents, factory owners and CTFM supporters, of which many made their voice known at question and answer time.

The Councillors seemed quite shocked at the community outrage against the Mosque, as many people shouted out from the gallery at the different Council members, asking them to vote against the Mosque application in February 2013, when it comes up for voting.

The Deputy Mayor Sam Aziz, originally from Egypt, who is a Coptic Christian, took a very bold stand with the support of another Councillor Rosalie Costani and challenged the Mayor and the other Councillors to take a good look at Islam and the Koran’s teachings, before voting for or against the Mosque.

Councillor Aziz wanted to do a presentation on Islam and the Koran’s teachings, with a power point and video presentation, but unfortunately the Mayor blocked it.  Nevertheless, he still was able to present his case very well, while speaking about the submitted petitions.

Councillor Costani also took a very bold stand and spoke out against the dangers of Islam. The people from the gallery clapped and cheered them on.  On numerous occasions, the Mayor aggressively called the gallery to silence, but then backed down and let them continue.

Luis Palau Reaches 30,000 Young People at Australian Festival

Charisma News – Ann Carroll – 11/26/2012

More than 30 years after his first campaign in Newcastle, evangelist Luis Palau returned to help more than 100 local churches reach new generations with the love and Good News of Jesus.

An estimated 30,000 people flocked to Newcastle’s Foreshore Park Nov. 17-18 for CityFest—two days of live music, kid-friendly shows and activities, and the gospel message presented nightly by Palau. “I have seldom felt the presence of God in a crowd like I felt tonight,” he said after speaking on Saturday.

CityFest included performances by Australian Idol winner Stan Walker, New Zealand rockers Evermore, and praise powerhouses Darlene Zschech and Hillsong. Stunt demonstrations and personal testimonies by extreme sports athletes highlighted the festival’s youthful bent.

Palau’s son and co-evangelist, Andrew Palau, also shared the stage. By the end of the weekend, several hundred people had made the decision to follow Jesus Christ according to response cards.

Great weekend for CTFM & RUAP in Mildura / Christmas Carol Service (Live Webcast) / New Years Eve Service (Live Webcast)

Dear family & friends in Christ,

1) Praise God for a very good weekend of Kingdom impact for Catch the Fire Ministries and Rise Up Australia Party in Mildura where Pr Daniel and a team ministered to several hundred people last Saturday & Sunday.

On Saturday morning Pr Daniel spoke to a group of Pastors & Leaders at a breakfast at Mercure Hotel in Mildura where he shared the vision of Rise Up Australia Party and why we should stand up in this hour to protect and keep Australia Australian. The response was very encouraging, with many Pastors & Leaders taking hundreds of brochures and many membership application forms to give to their congregations.

Then Pr Daniel had the opportunity to speak on 2 local radio stations that also interviewed the RUA Party State President for Victoria and one of the youth leaders. We were so encouraged when WIN TV (Channel 9 in regional Victoria) advertised the meetings. They also filmed the Saturday night public meeting and Sunday morning service at River Edge AOG church. Tonight’s 6.30pm news broadcast on WIN TV is expected to broadcast some of this footage.

People gathered at all meetings were mightily blessed by the Word of God and hearing the vision to take Australia by 2020.  It was so encouraging to see many young people taking up membership and wanting to help RUA Party succeed across our nation. After Pr Daniel finished speaking on Sunday morning, the whole congregation were so impacted, that they got up off their seats and started clapping with great excitement.

We thank the Lord for the new thing He is doing in Australia through corporate united prayer and action of His people. We thank God that Rise Up Australia Party has been raised for an hour such as this to work with the Church to bring Australia back to Jesus and keep it Australian!

‘God Belongs In My City’ Youth Prayer Walk Revisits NYC

By Nicola Menzie , Christian Post Reporter – October 26, 2012

A prayer walk initiative birthed in New York City three years ago will again gather thousands of young people from every borough of New York City this weekend to declare once more “God Belongs In My City”.

The prayer walk, started in 2009 by school principal Daniel Sanabria and his church youth group in response to an atheist ad, has been making its way across dozens of U.S. cities and abroad, with events held this year in Haiti, Switzerland and Canada.

This Saturday, however, will bring the tour full circle as local Christian churches, groups and individuals converge at various NYC locations to declare their faith and pray for the city this Saturday, Oct. 27.

“God Belongs In My City is our declaration of Faith. As Christ came and changed the world, we as Christians ought to impact our city now. There is a call to fearlessly rise up as one and not collapse under the waves of this world. We are commissioned to carry forth the Gospel of Salvation!” the organization explains on its website.

Share the faith? Not for this Doveton pastor

Anti-Islam Pastor Daniel Nalliah says his church, Catch the Fire Ministries, is weeks away from building a $2 million church on an industrial lot in Green Stre

THEY call each other brother, but they can’t yet pray as neighbours.et, Doveton.

But he intends to oppose moves to build a mosque next door, promoted by former Afghanistan government minister Khaliq Fazal.

Mr Fazal said the Omar Farooq Mosque, which would include a community centre and car park, would replace the nearby mosque in Photinia Street where the community has met for the past 16 years.

He said that the residential area was now too small to accommodate its 500 worshippers from different countries.

The City of Casey approved plans for the church in July 2011 and planners are now considering the mosque’s application.

Planning manager Duncan Turner said the council would take into account ”local and state planning policy, the impact on industrial land supply, the intensity of the activities, scale of the building and amenity issues such as car parking”.

Deputy mayor Sam Aziz said he wanted to reserve his view for the council debate early next year, but that ”it would be a very sad day in this country if religion was to come into our decision-making”.I suggest you get to know a lot more before you write your story because what you might find will actually horrify you.”Councillor Aziz said ”the perception in the community is that sometimes in these places words are stated and sermons are given that are not necessarily peaceful. ”Do you know much about Islam?

Mr Fazal, 61, a former minister of public works in Afghanistan, is now a consultant and the public face of those supporting the mosque. ”This is a multicultural country and a multi-faith country. There is a Fijian mosque and a church next to each other on Hallam Road and there is no problem whatsoever.”

When he met Pastor Nalliah for the first time on the barren, weedy Green Street lot the two men shook hands and chatted amicably until Pastor Nalliah said: ”We don’t approve of Nazi ideology but that doesn’t mean that we hate the Germans.

”Frankly,” Pastor Nalliah said, ”I don’t think we can live side by with a mosque next to us based on what’s happening in Europe.”
