How the Church is Sending Help to Japan

Earthquakes in Japanby Michael Ireland : Mar 16, 2011 : ASSIST News Service

“It is a good chance to tell people of the peace God provides in such situations.” Ron Stoller

An ANS article notes some of the Christian and missionary organizations that are mobilizing to help Japan. Along with those mentioned in the article who are sending help are: Mercy Corps, Medical Teams International (formerly NW Medical Teams), Samaritan’s Purse and Operation Blessing.

Russ Jones, a twenty-year award winning journalist and correspondent, who freelances for a number of media outlets and who was one of the first Christian reporters to reach the affected areas, says: “Another concern looms as two nuclear reactors exploded in Fukushima Daiichi and Daini after cooling pumps were destroyed, sending clouds of white smoke into the air.”

In his report posted at www.crosswalk.com, Jones says Christian organizations based in Japan are using social networking sites to coordinate relief efforts. (Photo: www.onlinenews4u.com)

One Christian group led by Jonathan Wilson has activated a team of volunteers using Facebook. Christian Relief, Assistance Support and Hope (CRASH Japan) is working closely with JEMA (the Japanese Evangelical Missionary Association), to coordinate a large network of experienced volunteers who live in Japan and are familiar with the nation’s culture and language. Leaders are currently setting up a command center in Tokyo with bases in affected areas. (more…)

A Perspective on the Japan Earthquake

Cindy JacobsCindy Jacobs Newsletters – Prophetic Insight – Tuesday, 22 March 2011

 As one looks across the face of the earth today, it doesn’t take a large amount of spiritual discernment to see that things are shaking as has been prophesied over the past few years. Many voices, including mine, have spoken over what is known as the Rim of Fire nations, or the Pacific Rim. These are approximately 40 nations that ring the Pacific with some sort of volcanic activity. 

The tragedy in Japan brings this prophetic shaking starkly to the forefront of the news. Many are asking the question, “What is taking place?”

First of all, I know that we must stand in the gap and pray for Japan. The enormity of the loss and the intensity of what has transpired will continue to unfold, and it is hard to grasp with the natural mind. 
What do we know? God had warned us that shaking was coming. This doesn’t mean it was His desire for it to happen but that it was more of the biblical fulfillment that He doesn’t do anything without first warning through His servants the prophets (see Amos 3:7) In fact, I along with others prophesied volcanic eruptions would occur in the Pacific Rim.

Nearly 4000 Muslims Attack Christian Homes in Egypt, Torch Church

Assyrian International News Agency | 3/5/2011 | Mary Abdelmassih

(AINA) — A mob of nearly four thousand Muslims has attacked Coptic homes this evening in the village of Soul, Atfif in Helwan Governorate, 30 kilometers from Cairo, and torched the Church of St. Mina and St. George. There are conflicting reports about the whereabouts of the Church pastor Father Yosha and three deacons who were at church; some say they died in the fire and some say they are being held captive by the Muslims inside the church.

Witnesses report the mob prevented the fire brigade from entering the village. The army, which has been stationed for the last two days in the village of Bromil, 7 kilometers from Soul, initially refused to go into Soul, according to the officer in charge. When the army finally sent three tanks to the village, Muslim elders sent them away, saying that everything was “in order now.” A curfew has been imposed on the 12,000 Christians in the village.

Can Japan rise again?

March 14, 2011 By Pat Muchanan

We can thank Providence that the earthquake was not 150 miles closer to Tokyo, or else Japan’s dead might number in the millions.

Prime Minister Naoto Kan calls it the worst crisis since World War II. Yet, horrendous as it is, it does not, thus far, compare with that. For the earthquake dead are not 1 percent of those who perished in World War II.
Between 1942 and 1945, Japan was stripped naked of an empire that embraced Formosa, Korea, Manchuria, the entire China coast, all of French Indochina (Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia), Thailand, Burma, Malaysia, Singapore, the Dutch East Indies (Indonesia), the Philippines and the Western Pacific out to Guam and south to Guadalcanal.

She sustained 2 million military dead and 500,000 to a million civilian dead under U.S. carpet-bombing that reduced her great cities to smoldering rubble and Hiroshima and Nagasaki to atomic ash.

Poll: What Evangelical Leaders Believe about the End Times

By Audrey Barrick | Christian Post Reporter

Wed, Mar. 09 2011

A majority of evangelical leaders believe that Jesus Christ will return to earth and then reign with his followers for 1,000 years, a new survey shows. This end times theology is called premillennialism and 65 percent of surveyed evangelical leaders identify with it.

As part of its monthly poll, the National Association of Evangelicals surveyed its board of directors, which include the CEOs of denominations and representatives of a broad array of evangelical organizations, on their eschatological beliefs.

“It’s in our human nature to want to prepare ourselves – physically, emotionally, spiritually – for what might be ahead,” said NAE President Leith Anderson.

The poll, released this week, found that 13 percent of those surveyed are amillennialists – believing that the non-literal millennial reign of Christ is happening now as Christ reigns at the right hand of the Father.

Three massacred children

Jewish Fogel family slaughtered by Palestinian terroristsBy Caroline B. Glick is the senior Middle East Fellow at the Center for Security Policy in Washington, DC and the deputy managing editor of The Jerusalem Post.

http://www.JewishWorldReview.com

Following the massacre of the Fogel family, Netanyahu took to the airwaves, speaking to the hostile world. What could he have been thinking? Didn’t he get the memo?

Ruth Fogel was in the bathroom when the Palestinian terrorists pounced on her husband Udi and their three-month-old daughter Hadas, slitting their throats as they lay in bed on Friday night in their home in Itamar.
The terrorists stabbed Ruth to death as she came out of the bathroom. With both parents and the newborn dead, they moved on to the other children, going into a bedroom where Ruth and Udi’s sons Yoav (11) and Elad (4) were sleeping. They stabbed them through their hearts and slit their throats.

The murderers apparently missed another bedroom where the Fogels’ other sons, eight-year-old Ro’i and two-year-old Yishai were asleep because they left them alive. The boys were found by their big sister, 12-year-old Tamar, when she returned home from a friend’s house two hours after her family was massacred.
Tamar found Yishai standing over his parents’ bodies screaming for them to wake up.

Atrocity Rocks Israel

Posted by P. David Hornik from Beersheva, Israel on Mar 14th, 2011   
 
On Friday night at least one terrorist broke into a family’s home in Itamar, a settlement in Samaria (part of the West Bank). The result was that a mother and father, Ruth and Udi Fogel (35 and 36), and three of their six children—two boys, Yoav (11) and Elad (3), and a girl, Hadas (three months)—were stabbed to death. The terrorist(s) escaped and are still being sought by the Israeli security forces.

Great Weekend of Salvations and Powerful Holy Spirit Anointing

Praying for people at altarPastor Johnny Lee Clary ministering at CTFM in MelbourneDear family & friends with Christ,

We thank the Lord for a great weekend of salvations and powerful Holy Spirit Anointing at CTFM in Hallam (Melbourne) with His servant Johnny Lee Cleary!

This man of God, who has an incredible testimony of how the Lord saved him out of the Ku Klux Klan, touched many hearts at CTFM over the weekend, including many who surrendered their lives to Jesus!

The weekend was absolutely wonderful with Anointed Praise and Worship lead by the CTFM worship team as many soaked in the presence of God for hours as the Holy Spirit did a deep work of healing, deliverance and restoration in many lives!

Pr Johnny challenged the people not to follow the seeker friendly church, as it is misleading people away from the true Word of the Lord the Presence of God. He stated, ‘some Christian leaders have told me not to preach about the Cross, Hell, Sin or the Second Coming of Jesus, as it sounds offensive and brings fear to people. However, I cannot compromise the Word of God, so I will keep preaching the Word of the Lord.”

An Ancient Tablet discovered may prove Yeshua’s death and resurrection

Messianic Bibles for Israel 18/02/2011

In Jerusalem a tablet, three-foot-tall with 87 lines written in Hebrew is believed by scholars to date back to decades just before the Yeshua’s (Jesus’s) birth. It is still causing quite a stir worldwide with biblical and archaeology scholars, because it speaks about a messiah who will rise from the dead after three days.

The tablet was found near the Dead Sea on the Jordanian side and it is a rare finding of a stone with ink writings from that time era. Some describe it as a type of Dead Sea Scroll written on stone.

The authenticity of the Tablet has not faced any challenge.

The owner of the stone, David Jeselsohn, an Israeli-Swiss collector said: “I couldn’t make much out of it when I got it.” Jeselsohn, himself an expert in antiquities. “I didn’t realize how significant it was until I showed it to Ada Yardeni, who specializes in Hebrew writing, a few years ago. She was overwhelmed. ‘You have got a Dead Sea Scroll on stone,’ she told me.”

Much of the text, a vision of the apocalypse transmitted by the angel Gabriel, draws on the Old Testament, especially the prophets Daniel, Zechariah and Haggai.

Ground Zero imam: ‘We have more of a right to Moses’

Imam Abdallah AdhamiImam Abdallah Adhami Urges Muslims ‘wherever they are’ to ‘compete’ with other religions

Posted: January 20, 2011 – By Aaron Klein – © 2011 WorldNetDaily 
 
Muslims have “more of a right” than Jews to the biblical prophet Moses, declared the imam who has become the new face of the proposed Islamic cultural center near Ground Zero in New York City.

Imam Abdallah Adhami also urged Muslims to “compete” with other religions.

“We must be doing it first, we must compete with you to be doing more of that. We want to fast Ashura too, because that’s the day God saved Moses; that is certainly a day to be celebrated. We have more right to Moses,” stated Adhami in a 2008 lecture obtained and reviewed by WND.

Ashura is an Islamic fast day that commemorates Muslim events, including the Islamic claim that Moses fasted on that day to express gratitude to God for liberating the Israelites from Egypt.

Christians will now be free to worship without fear of bombings and even crucifixions

JUBA, SOUTH SUDAN (ANS) — ABC News (http://abcnews.go.com) is reporting that the streets of South Sudan’s capital Juba were filled with people dancing with joy over the official announcement today (Monday, February 07, 2011), that the proposed-nation’s independence referendum has passed with more than 98 percent of southerners voting to secede.

People clap during the announcement of the preliminary results of voting in Sudan on Jan 30. South Sudan overwhelmingly voted to split from the north in a referendum intended to end decades of civil war, sparking mass celebrations.

 “In Khartoum, Sudan President Omar Al-Bashir and South Sudan President Salva Kiir were together as the official results were announced. Earlier Bashir repeated that the Khartoum government will accept and support the results,” Dana Hughes said in her story for ABC News.

Bashir said on state television, “Today we received these results and we accept and welcome these results because they represent the will of the southern people.”

Australia: Former immigration minister warns country risks becoming “nation of enclaves”

Kevin AndrewsHe also calls attention to the many cases in which halal meat has entered the market without consumers’ knowing — a phenomenon not at all limited to Australia, but also found in the United States and Britain, even in the House of Commons. Why the subterfuge? Why not respect consumers’ rights to make their own informed decisions, except to wear down resistance by forcing people to eat it and denying them a means of telling halal meat apart?

Of course, Kevin Andrews will be pilloried as an “Islamophobe” for this, and accused of fomenting “backlash,” for Islamic groups would have you believe that he who hath looked critically upon Islam hath committed hate crimes in his heart: it has become a standard practice to cast all criticism of Islam as incitement.

“Tackle ‘extreme Islam before it’s too late’, Liberal MPs warn,” by Steve Lewis for the Herald Sun, February 9:
Australia risks becoming a nation of “ethnic enclaves” that unknowingly buys livestock slaughtered “in the name of Allah”, senior Liberal MPs have warned.

Opening up a new political faultline, former immigration minister Kevin Andrews lashed out at political leaders who failed to speak out on the rise of extreme Islam, claiming the silence contributes to the rise of One Nation-type movements.
