From Bernie – 21st March 2013
Six surprises from the Islamic ‘Peace Conference’
Surprise no 1: Free tickets were not honoured: We arrived at the Conference on the first morning (Friday) to be told that our free tickets would not be accepted. Thousands of free tickets were printed to be given to non-Muslims to attract them to the conference so they would hear the message of Islam and become Muslims – the conference was really all about da’wah or propagation of Islam. Conference reception staff told us that the Victoria Police had advised that everyone must pay the $50 entry fee. We refused, saying that we had not come prepared to pay $50, since we had free tickets. We said that it was false advertising to issue free tickets and then not to honour them. Eventually a young Muslim reception girl had pity on us and spoke to her supervisors on our behalf and we were let in free.
Surprise no 2: Muslim numbers were low: The organisers had hoped for 20,000 attendees, including 4,000 non-Muslims. However they did not achieve anything like this. The biggest day was Friday, when it was planned that 5,000 Muslims would pray behind the Imam of Mecca who was coming from Saudi Arabia. However news of his coming brought condemnation in the Age, Herald Sun, Australian newspapers and Jewish organisations because he had called for the extermination of the Jews, referring to them as ‘monkeys’, ‘rats’ and ‘the scum of the earth’. Although he never applied for an Australian visa (probably due to this negative publicity), it was not until the night before that the conference organiser announced on their website that he was not coming. Consequently, only 1800 people turned up for the prayers. The other main speaker, a sheik from Kuwait, arrived but fell sick and was not able to attend the conference. Muslims were disgruntled at the high price of the conference, expensive food and carnival rides, and the cancellation of some meetings. Eventually cold driving rain sent people home and kept them away the next day. Meetings set up to hold thousands were attended by a couple of hundred people. If the conference was relying on gate takings for income, it will be in significant financial trouble.
Surprise no 3: Opportunities for Christian witness were high. Over the weekend, a team of 60 Christians turned up to witness to Muslims. The vast majority, by the grace of God, managed to get in free. We had applied for and been given permission to hire stalls and sell or give away Christian literature including Bibles. However this permission was withdrawn by the conference organisers saying they could not guarantee the safety of Christians from radical Muslims inside the Showgrounds. This ban on Christian stalls turned out to our advantage, as it enabled us to spread out, rather than being concentrated in one place. Christians could be seen all over around the conference, making friends with Muslims, asking questions and sharing their faith in Jesus. It soon became obvious, and non-Muslims arriving at the gates were asked by the reception staff: “Are you part of Bernie’s team?” Sometimes conference staff would order Muslims to stop talking to the Christians and send them away. Despite this, we had hundreds of wonderful conversations about Christ throughout the weekend and arranged to meet up with some more open Muslims afterwards.
Dear family & friends in Christ,
On Sat night, Sun morning & evening, our Guest Speaker was Andrea Williams from the UK. This woman of God who is a Barrister who stands and fights for the rights of Christians in the UK and other nations. She had just finished speaking for the Anglican Archbishop of Sydney Peter Jensen before coming to speak at RUAP & CTFM.
At our meetings she challenged the people and said, “Do not let what’s happened to us in the UK happen to you. You still have an opportunity to protect your nation, but the UK & Europe is in great trouble.”
The BBC reporter covered 2 out of the 3 meetings. We will try our best to send you the link as soon as it is available.
Mrs Williams stated, “The church unfortunately is on MUTE. Thus, now the government has decided to silence the church and make it private. Church leaders are happy to continue to be politically correct and not speak up against what’s wrong, while secular humanism and Islam are having a free run.
Where there is a vacuum something comes in and fills it up. Unfortunately, because the church is on MUTE, people are turning to Islam which is on an onward march right through Europe. Everyone is scared to speak out against it. Multiculturalism has been our great down fall.
A Christian wearing a cross is considered offensive, but wearing the hijab is fully accepted in places of work. She also warned Australia not to let Sharia Law into the country. Since the UK has now embraced parts of Sharia law, some places are now turned into no go zones for non-Muslims.
Dear fa
mily & friends in Christ,
1) Last weekend in Darwin, Pr Daniel along with Peter & Melanie from CTFM, ministered at several church meetings and also RUA Party campaign meetings, which were very well atten
ded. This was Pr Daniel’s first time visiting Darwin after having prayed for 13 years.
We thank God that during the week heading up to the meetings, the Northern Territorial newspaper wrote two articles about his visit to Darwin. These articles, along with the help of the Darwin Christian Radio 97.7FM, helped get the message out, which brought many people to the CTFM & RUAP meetings where they were mightily touched by the power of God.

At the altar many were weeping and some others received a real healing touch from God. Many people, who were there for the first time, were tremendously blessed by the power and anointing of the Holy
Spirit. We also had the opportunity to speak on the Christian Radio Station on Monday which was very good.
The real highlight of the weekend was on Monday night, which was scheduled as a campaign meeting mainly focussed on spending time with the Indigenous people of Australia, but something amazing happened.
In his speech at the National Press Club at the RUAP National Campaign Launch in Canberra last month, Pr Daniel stated, “the Indigenous people are very spiritual and that providing only their physical needs would not fix their problems. RUAP has the answer to meet their spirituals needs too.”

Dear family & friends in Christ,
Yesterday on Tuesday 12th March at the City of Casey Council Planning Committee Meeting, the Council approved the proposed mosque in Doveton next to CTFM future home.
8 Councillors voted in favour, 1 was absent, and 1 great woman of God, Rosalie Crestani, was the only Councillor who voted against the mosque.
She did not back off, taking on the fight all by herself. It is so sad that political correctness has so infiltrated all offices of the federal, state and local government, that they no longer can see what is right from wrong.

http://www.abc.net.au/news/2013-03-13/church-leader-vows-to-fight-mosque-decision/4569414
Community concerns were literally completely overlooked and ignored, even though at least one resident who opposed the mosque had a death threat and some others were intimidated. Already some of the residents have put their houses up for sale. This is a very sad day in Australia, where so many government officials no longer stand for the truth. In the CTFM vs Islamic Council of Victoria Court Case around 6-7 years ago, the VCAT Judge stated that truth was irrelevant.
I want to personally thank everyone who prayed and supported us. Unfortunately, even though there were more than 2000 people complaining against the mosque, it was still approved.
Of race, religion and politics
The Age – March 10, 2013 – John Elder
With its anti-Islam, anti-multicultural stance, Danny Nalliah’s Rise Up Australia Party has been compared to One Nation. But will its policies win seats in the Senate?
National president of Rise Up Australia, Danny Nalliah, left, and below speaking at the election campaign launch in Hallam.
The most interesting thing about Pastor Danny Nalliah isn’t that he reportedly raises people from the dead, or that Jesus talks to him in dreams, or even that he wants every school to be issued with a wooden spoon for the smacking of naughty bottoms – it’s that his moral authority as a politician comes from the colour of his skin.
He both affirmed and joked about it recently at the Victorian launch of his Rise Up Australia Party. During his speech, Nalliah told a story of being interviewed by an SBS journalist who asked if the party, which is stridently anti-Islamic and calls for an end to multiculturalism, was just another Pauline Hanson white-Australia affair.
”Of course,” said Nalliah, whose voice has an unfortunate tendency to become high-pitched when speech-making, ”he couldn’t see me because I was on the telephone. The fact is, he didn’t realise he was born in the day and I was born at night. I said … the man you’re talking to is a black fellow.”
The congregation laughed and clapped, and was then made part of the joke. When the hooting died down, Nalliah continued: ”I said this is not a white Australia Party. More than a third of our members are of non-Anglo-Saxon origin.”
True enough. Among the 100 or so people gathered in Nalliah’s church hall at Hallam – he heads both the fledgling party and the Catch the Fire Ministry – was a healthy sprinkling of black and Asian faces. Nalliah says there are 30 ethnic groups among his followers. ”We have Fijians, Samoans, Arabs, Africans, Chinese, Indians, Pakistanis … so many, and they all feel the same way,” he said.
Dear family & friends in Christ,
1) We thank and praise God for His mighty presence at every single meeting over the weekend as Pr Daniel spoke at six meetings in two days in Kingaroy & Dalby (QLD), including several churches and public RUAP meetings.
The presence of God fell so powerfully at the church services as many were mightily touched by the powerful presence of God.
As the vision of RUAP was shared, the people shouted for joy.
The Rise Up Australia Party public meetings went very well in both locations as many people were greatly impacted by our National President Daniel Nalliah’s speech on Multiculturalism and how to Keep Australia Australian.
We were so thrilled to see many at the meetings taking membership forms, and some filled them up right there. Others offered to help and a couple of people indicated that they were willing to stand as candidates.
RUAP National President Daniel Nalliah also met with one of the local Indigenous leaders who welcomed him to share about RUAP with his community and stated, “You have brought hope for all of us.”

Dear friends and family in Christ,
For those of you in the Melbourne area, we’re pleased to announce that Evangelist Milton Story from Anchor of Salvation International Ministries will be ministering in Holy Spirit miracle healing revival meetings at CTFM at 23 Melverton Dr in Hallam (Melbourne) at our Sunday worship services at 9:30am & 6:30pm on 3rd March.

Milton was gloriously saved in 1986,when he was about to kill himself, being totally dissatisfied with himself despite the riches,and worldly pleasures he had. With this thought, He went to his hotel bedroom in Fort Lauderdale, Florida.
While he was changing clothes, he turned on the television. A preacher by the name of Nicky Cruz was talking, but the strange thing was that it seemed he was talking directly to Milton. He became angry and started to change to all other channels, but on each one, the same preacher appeared. He became scared, and turned -off TV, and walked out of the room. When he re-entered the room the T.V switched on by itself, with the preacher giving him a final message.

5) Following is an excellent article from Crikey Media on Rise Up Australia Party Launch.
‘I love pizza, but …’: anti-multicultural party’s Canberra launch – Farz Edraki Feb 11, 2013
Australia’s newest political party was launched today with an anti-multicultural, pro-Christian platform?—?and the help of climate sceptic Christopher Monckton. Farz Edraki was there for Crikey.
“Watch out Australia, watch out the federal Parliament; we are coming!” So declared Reverend Daniel Nalliah this morning as he launched Australia’s newest political party at Canberra’s National Press Club.
“We are determined to be politically incorrect,” Nalliah told the launch of Rise Up Australia, of which he is president. “If an Aussie loves his country, and can’t say anything … then I think ‘tolerance’ has gone too far.”
Dear fellow Australians,
As Founding Chairman & President of Rise Up Australia Party, on behalf of the National Executive, I wish to thank all those who attended the Party Launch at the National Press Club in Canberra on Monday 11th of Feb 2013.
Also a big thank you to those who could not make it, but have been faithful supporters of the Party.
Words possibly cannot describe the excitement and joy people demonstrated at the Launch, with many stating, “It is about time someone took a stand”. This same sentiment is now echoing right across Australia, with the amazing feedback our Party head office has been receiving in the past 24 hours.
I was so happy as I saw many fellow patriotic Aussies, including many from different ethnic backgrounds, waving their flags and celebrating as our National Anthem was sung, in addition to when they heard that Rise Up Australia Party was committed to ‘Keep Australia Australian.’
This to me and many others was a very historic day. I want to thank the thousands of people who have entered our RUA Party website and the many who have sent comments. It is so exciting to also see our Twitter & Face book pages rapidly increasing over the past 24 hours.
We also want to thank all the Media for a ‘Job Well Done’ in covering the Party launch
