Ex-Muslims thank CTFM for sharing the love of Jesus / Healed from Cancer

Baby Shameer, Mother, Grandmother, and others at CTFM celebrate his 1st Birthday Dear family & friends in Christ,Baby Shameer with Pastor Daniel and wife Maryse

1) We thank God for His mighty hand and Holy Spirit at work amongst His people across Australia and the Nations of the World!

The weekend gone by was absolutely glorious at CTFM in Hallam, Melbourne. Many received a mighty touch from the Lord, as they waited at the altar soaking in the presence of God in worship. Amongst the people at the altar was a young mum and her mother, who were once Muslims, but are now worshippers of the Lord Jesus Christ.

This young mum was brought to our attention about 18 months ago, when she was only 13 years of age, 3 months pregnant and not sure what she was going to do, as she did not have a father and her family was in great trouble. We were also told that they were all Muslims.

So after we prayed with the leading of the Holy Spirit the family was approached by some of our counselling team from Options + Care (Pregnancy Counselling Division of CTFM). After a few visits the young mum decided to keep the baby and gave birth to a beautiful baby boy in May 2010. Pr Daniel & sister GerSister Geraldine, Baby Shameer, Mother, Grandmother and others at CTFMaldine from O+C visited them in the hospital and dedicated the baby to the Lord Jesus Christ.

Glory to God as now the whole family are born-again Christians!

We celebrated the baby’s 1st birthday this last Sunday at church.  The grandmother shared her amazing testimony and thanked Jesus for giving them a new family at CTFM.

Bush Memoir Points to Faith-Based Decisions

President George W BushThursday, 11 November 2010 04:19 PM Jimmy Stewart News  

He never would have made it to the White House in 2001 as the country’s 43rd president without the faith-based decision he made in 1986.

“I could not have quit drinking without faith,” former President George W. Bush writes in his memoir, Decision Points, which released Tuesday. “I also don’t think my faith would be as strong if I hadn’t quit drinking.”

It was the first significant decision among several that ultimately solidified Bush’s resolve to act on his belief that God was calling him to lead the nation as president, the memoir shows, according to a report published Wednesday by Religion News Service (RNS).

That his politics were influenced by his faith in God after Bush took office in Jan. 2001is no revelation. But now he recounts in his own words, across the 497 pages, the ways his religious belief shaped his life and his politics, and thus his administration, RNS reported. His reliance on God, though not the central thrust of the book, remains a theme throughout, the report stated.

New Initiative Offers Help to Girls Facing Pressure to Abort

Pregnant teenFriday September 24, 2010 By Kathleen Gilbert

SAN ANTONIO, Texas, September 24, 2010 (LifeSiteNews.com) – Pregnant teens often face pressure to undergo an abortion from parents or others – but a new resource soon to be distributed around the country will offer such young women hope and legal recourse in a seemingly hopeless situation.

While many may think of coerced abortion as a phenomenon found only in countries such as China, pro-life sidewalk counselors across America testify to routinely witnessing young girls being practically dragged into abortion clinics by fathers or mothers unwilling to handle their daughters’ pregnancies.

Eric Scheidler of the Pro-Life Action League said that, from his experience as a sidewalk counselor outside abortion clinics, coerced abortion is an all-too-frequent phenomenon.

“From what I’ve seen outside abortion facilities, many women — especially young women — are being coerced into aborting their unborn babies,” Scheidler told LifeSiteNews.com. “Often the young woman will clearly want to come over and talk to a pro-life sidewalk counselor, only to have her boyfriend, husband or parent push her on into the clinic, sometimes forcibly.

Video Link to YouTube Clip on Late-Term Abortions

Baby in The WombDear family and friends in Christ,

Following is some very sad and shocking information, including a video link to late-term abortions, that Pr Daniel received today and wanted me to pass it onto you.

According to our understanding the 52 babies who survived late-term abortions in Victoria, Australia as recorded in 2007 were simply left to die.

Please pray and act in any way possible by contacting your local MP or writing a letter.

Also in Victoria you can vote for Pro-Life MPs in this upcoming State Election in November 2010.  We will send you the details in the next few weeks.

Rising Up Australia and the Nations as His Kingdom Comes,  Jason Golden

Dear Pastor Nalliah,
 
The link to the YouTube clip on late-term abortions that I told you about is:

Please forward this link to others too so they know how much the number of late-term abortions has escalated since the passing of the Abortion Law Reform Act.

Another baby saved through Options + Care (and from a Muslim family)

Pastor Daniel with another baby saved through Options Plus CareDear friends and family in Christ,

1) All glory to God!  Another baby has been saved through Options Plus Care Pregnancy crisis counselling division of Catch The Fire Ministries.  We thank God that after the re-launch of this ministry a few months ago, there has been a flood of inquiries for help, support and ministry.
 
We praise God for every opportunity He gives us to proclaim the good news of the Gospel and carry out the mandate God gave Pastor Daniel, which is: “To Save A Life and Save A Soul”
 
I was so thrilled when I received a call asking for help regarding a young woman who was pregnant.   I visited the home on several occasions, and then found out that they were Muslims.   I was so very excited that God had taken me into their lives as a light.   I soon realised that this young mum to be and her mother both needed our help, as there was no real male figure in the house.
 
Praise God for His wonderful grace and counsel through the Holy Spirit, which enabled this young girl to give birth to a very healthy baby boy on Monday the 17th of May.   They now call us their family and I know that before long they will come to know Jesus as their Lord and Saviour.
 
Pastor Daniel visited the family in hospital within 24 hours of the birth.   They were so happy to see him and this is such a miracle,  a Muslim family so excited to see a Christian Minister. (more…)

Report on Options Plus Care Orientation Day – Pregnancy Crisis Counselling

Counsellors watching a live ultrasoundCounsellors at Options Plus Care Orientation Dear family & friends in Christ,

 

Around 100,000 babies are aborted every year in Australia.

 

We at CTFM thank the Lord for every single person who has been working tirelessly to reduce this number and we continue to pray against the legalisation and practice of abortion.

 

No one thought that the slave trade would stop, but thanks to William Wilberforce and others it did. So too, we pray the same regarding the ending of abortion.

 

I know we all need to pray and lobby our politicians, but what is equally important is to help these people not to have an abortion through counselling and supporting them. Yes, this is what Options + Care is all about. Even if someone decides to have an abortion after counselling, we will continue to love and help them as much as possible. 

 

Thank you so much for your prayer and practical support as the Options + Care Orientation Day on 17th April was a great success. Pas Daniel shared the vision that God gave him in 1998 while he was in the USA to be a Voice for the Voiceless. Sister Geraldine, the coordinator for O+C , shared her heart and passion to save the next generation of children in Australia. Then the team watched a very challenging DVD titled ‘After The Choice’ that included a group of women talking about what happened after their abortions. There was not a dry eye in the place as everyone watched these ladies share how they all suffered in silence for many years and pleaded with others not to have an abortion. (more…)

Options Plus Care Orientation Day Saturday 17 April in Melbourne / Pregnancy Counselling Service of CTFM

Pastor Daniel and baby saved through Options Plus Care Pregnancy Counseling

Dear family & friends in Christ,
 
In 1998 God birthed in Pr Daniel’s heart to start the Options + Care Pregnancy Counselling Centre in Australia.
 
He challenged him with the following words, “Will you be a Voice for the Voiceless?” 
 
The motto of this ministry is ‘Save A Life and Save A Soul!’
 
We have seen many babies saved through O + C over the past 12 years.  Now that God has provided us with a much needed Ultra-Sound machine, we believe that this is a new season to see more babies saved!
 
We believe even as we continue to pray for abortions to become illegal in Australia, we also need to act in order to save the next generation of Aussie’s in our nation.
 
Following is a opportunity for you to become a part of this great ministry serving the Body of Christ and local communities across our nation.
 
Options Plus Care (Pregnancy Counselling Service) – Orientation Day, Saturday April 17th, 2010 -  10.30am to 12.00pm at CTFM Base, 23 Melverton Dr, Hallam.

Ernie’s request for prayer volunteers at the 40 Days for Life vigil was quickly answered.

It would soon become apparent that their prayers were being answered as well.

A powerful speech to the UN on Pro-Life

Dear family and friends in Christ,

Following is an amazing Pro-Life speech made by Congressman Chris Smith from the US at the UN General Assembly. Interestingly in 1998 while working with the American Government on legislation to protect Christians from getting persecuted in Saudi Arabia, Pr Daniel had the opportunity of spending time with this same Congressman. In his office the Lord spoke to Pr Daniel to start ‘Options + Care’, the Pregnancy Counselling Centre in Australia, after listening to this Congressman debate a bill in the US Congress to stop 7 months abortion.

Read the whole speech below as it is very interesting and informative.

A powerful speech to the UN

Excerpts from a powerful speech – Chris Smith to the UN http://www.lifenews.com/int1465.html

“Safe abortion” is the ultimate oxymoron. Child dismemberment, forced premature expulsion from the safety of the womb, chemical poisoning or deliberate starvation-one of the chemicals in RU 486 actually denies nourishment to an unborn child– can never, ever be construed to be benign, compassionate or safe… (more…)

Victory for Life: Director of a Planned Parenthood Clinic Resigns after Watching Abortion Ultrasound

by Kathleen Gilbert: Nov 4, 2009: LifeSiteNews.com

“This is by far the most amazing thing that has happened to the Coalition for Life throughout its entire history…we thank God!”

Abby Johnson(Bryan, Texas)—The director of the Texas Planned Parenthood abortion mill, where the 40 Days for Life campaign began, has resigned saying she experienced a conversion after watching an ultrasound video of a child being killed by abortion.

“I just thought, ‘I can’t do this anymore,’ and it was just like a flash that hit me and I thought, ‘that’s it,'” said Abby Johnson in an interview with local news network KBTX 3.

Johnson had been affiliated with Bryan’s Planned Parenthood facility for eight years, and worked as its director for two. She said she began to feel uncomfortable with Planned Parenthood’s business philosophy after the organization, suffering from the economic downturn, told her to try to bring more abortions in the door. “The money wasn’t in family planning, the money wasn’t in prevention, the money was in abortion and so I had a problem with that,” said Johnson.

But the turning point for Johnson was reportedly when she witnessed an actual ultrasound image of an abortion being performed on an unborn child.

Reducing Abortions: The Untold Story of America’s Pregnancy Resource Centers

Passion 2 Serveby Kathleen Gilbert : Oct 6, 2009 : LifeSiteNews

“Because of the work of these unsung heroes, mothers and babies are rescued from the tragedy of abortion.”

(Washington, DC)—A groundbreaking report detailing the impact of thousands of pregnancy resource centers across America has been released by the Family Research Council.

Passion to Serve reportThe report, entitled A Passion to Serve: A Vision for Life lays out in detail the manifold contributions of the nation’s pregnancy resource centers to their communities, particularly to women, children, and families. The nature and scope of the pregnancy centers’ mission is outlined in statistical summaries, case studies and personal testimonies. The report includes the accolades of several public leaders of diverse backgrounds celebrating the movement’s unique contributions.

According to the report, pregnancy centers now assist an average of 5,500 Americans daily with sexuality-and pregnancy-related concerns. The report was introduced in the nation’s capital Thursday by the Family Research Council as well as presidents from three national pregnancy center networks that represent more than 2,300 cross-affiliates in all 50 states.

Australia’s Population Booms

Carolyn Moynihan | 30 Sep 2009 | 

Last week, as the Australian Bureau of Statistics announced a 2 per cent leap (439,000 people) in the country’s population in the year to March, a huge dust storm blew in from the arid interior to blanket much of Eastern Australia. Are the two things connected?

Green groups would probably say, yes. Others, maybe. “Dust storms are a natural phenomenon, but they are influenced by human activities and are now just as serious as traffic and industrial air pollution,” says Laurence Barrie, chief researcher at the World Meteorological Organisation in Geneva, which is working with 40 countries to develop a dust storm warning system.

Most of the recent population increase — almost 300,000 people — was from immigration. But the birth rate is up, too, with 160,000 babies born during the year. On that basis Australia’s population could “balloon” form its present 21.8 million to 35 million over the next 40 years.
