Dear family & friends in Christ,
1) A few weeks ago a minister from the Presbyterian church came to visit Pr Daniel at CTFM office. At this meeting he told him that he had spent time with the Queen in Scotland and that the Queen was truly born again. This was during the time she was visiting Australia.

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.
Cyclone Yasi – What a challenging moment in our nation / Pr Daniel
Dear family & friends in Christ across this Great South Land of the Holy Spirit,
1) I am sure many of you would have hardly slept last night as you would have been praying and storming heaven on behalf of our nation, in particular for Queensland.
Personally, I hardly slept myself as I kept getting up all through the night and was led to pray in tongues for most part of the night. I asked God that there should be no lives lost. I am sure many of you would have done the same. I was also watching the breaking news.
I thank God with all my heart that the breaking news this morning was that “NO LIVES WERE LOST and NO REPORTS OF ANY INJURIESâ€. Isn’t this amazing!
A category 5 Cyclone rips through parts of Queensland, with winds of up to 285KM’s an hour, and there were no casualties. This is an amazing miracle, although there has been major damage to property and infrastructure.
Already there are encouraging reports coming out of Queensland.
This morning I was speaking to Pastor Adam who lives in Cairns. He told me that 16 born-again Christians, his family and a few from his church gathered at their home and spent a few hours in worship, praise and prayer last night. While the cyclone was passing through they were playing their guitars and worshipping the Lord.
Media release – Atheist PM not good for dark chapter in Australia’s history
It is very sad that this dark chapter in Australia’s history is led by an atheist Prime Minister in Julia Gillard and an openly homosexual Greens leader who seems to be the Deputy Prime Minister by default, both who have no regard for God nor Prayer.
Catch the Fire Ministries president Dr Daniel Nalliah said Julia Gillard was not elected by the majority of the Australian people, but rather the personal decision of two power hungry independent MPs who catapulted Ms Gillard to the top job.
“Are we Aussies all paying for that decision? It is very well known that throughout history, in a time of national crisis, Kings, Prime Ministers and Presidents of countries around the world have turned to God, irrespective of whether they were Christian, Buddhist, Hindu or Muslim and asked for help or at least called the nation to pray for protection and for the victims of the disaster,†Dr Nalliah said.
“However, for the past several weeks, right through the flood crisis across Australia, I have not heard our Prime Minister call the people of Australia to pray and ask God for protection and for help for the tens of thousands of people who have become victims of this major disaster,†he said.
“Even the secular media personalities stated several times, ‘Our prayers and thoughts are with you’, but did we hear our PM make any such statements at all or did I just miss out on it?â€
Dr Nalliah said, conversely under the Howard Government when Australia was going through a major drought crisis, he recalled how Mr Howard called on the nation to pray for rain in 2007, then followed a National Prayer Gathering in Federal Parliament on 22 October 2007. Within 24 hours the rains started pouring down in many parts of Australia.

750 Christians Unite as Body of Christ at Australia Day Prayer in Melbourne
Dear family & friends in Christ,
Â
We trust you all had a wonderful and blessed Australia Day!
Â
We thank our faithful Heavenly Father for the many Christians across our nation who choose to spend some time in prayerfully seeking the Lord God Almighty for Australia’s transformation on this very special day, particularly with the present flood crisis!
Â
In Melbourne, around 750 Christians united as the Body of Christ at the Springvale Town Hall to corporately worship, pray and sing praises to the King of Kings and Lord of Lords on behalf of our nation of Australia. Worship was led by the CTFM worship team and Pr Daniel was the MC as passionate Christians packed the venue waving their Australian flags with shouts of “Australia For Jesus” buzzing right throughout the Holy Spirit led prayer meeting.
Â
Around a dozen atheists gathered outside the venue to protest against the Australia Day Prayer Meeting. Before the meeting, Pr Daniel walked up to them, shook hands and told them, “It is so nice to see you. Thanks for coming. I thought I will come out and greet you. Hope you have a great day.” The atheists seemed absolutely shocked and said to him, “Wish you the same, nice to meet you too.”
Â
On stage were Christian Ministers of the Gospel from many denominations, including Anglican, Baptist, Salvation Army, Uniting, AOG, CRC, as Mainline, Evangelical, Pentecostal and Charasmatic Leaders in the Body of Christ united for the advancement of the Kingdom of God. Pastors and Ministry Leaders from Indigenous, African, Asian, and other ethnicities joined hands and hearts in unity as Australians to lead the multi-ethnic people of God at the interdenominational prayer meeting as everyone joined together to pray for the Government, Nation, Military, Marketplace, Regarding the Floods, Harvest of Souls, Families, Youth, Unity in the Church, Revival, Israel ,etc. Also there were several Scripture readings, including Psalm 91 and the Lord’s Prayer.

Urgent Prayer for Swan Hill in Victoria – Murray River expected to peak / Australia Day United Prayer / Purchase of Land for CTFM
Dear family & friends in Christ in Australia and around the World,
1) All praise and thanksgiving to our forever faithful Heavenly Father, as we have seen the mighty hand of our Lord God at work every time His children earnestly prayed and asked Him to avert further disaster right throughout the flood crisis in Australia!Â
Starting with Chinchilla, Rockhampton, St George, Toowoomba & Brisbane which are all in Queensland, then Horsham and the surrounding towns in Victoria, all were miraculously saved from major disaster when Bible-believing God-fearing Christians cried out to the Lord of the heavens and the earth!
Right now the urgent media news in Victoria is that the Murray River is about to break its banks and is expected to reach its peak level in the next 24 hours. This would result in Swan Hill and many surrounding towns going under water.
Once again would you please prayerfully petition Heaven’s throne room and ask the Lord to stop the river from reaching its peak as predicted. For those of us who have not been affected by the floods, I don’t think that we can even imagine what the people in these towns are going through. So please take some time and cry out to the Lord for mercy. Also pray that many will turn to Jesus through this crisis.
