The “Red Envelope Project”—A Grassroots Appeal For Life

By Aimee Herd

Red Envelope“Like the powerful image of the red LIFE tape, an empty red envelope will send a message… It will be quiet, but clear.”

EDITOR’S NOTE: As we present this news report, we also remind our readers of the directive from the Apostle Paul in 1Timothy 2:1-2, to continue in prayer for our leaders and all in authority, including the President. –Aimee Herd, BCN.

As one life-minded Believer was praying, an idea came to this person’s mind that has now circled the internet for about a month now. The idea is a simple one, yet powerful in its message. We present it for our readers who also value life, especially that of little ones yet-to-be-born. (more…)

The family constitutes the fundamental base of society. The State will encourage its organization and development.

The Trophy Of A Life Saved: Updates On Lia’s LIFE Speech

By Aimee Herd

Lia Giving Her Speech“Please join us in continuing to pray for her YouTube video to spread virally and impact countless lives.”

Last week we featured a story about Lia, a 12-year-old in seventh grade who was giving a speech on abortion.

Although she initially encountered resistance from her teachers to choose another topic or forfeit her opportunity to participate in a speech competition, Lia decided to stay with her topic, and eventually her teacher—moved by her presentation—relented and allowed her to compete.

Lia then gave her speech in front of the entire school, and although the principal and other teachers deemed her the “obvious winner,” the judges disqualified her because of her topic and stance on abortion.

However, later that day, and after much discussion, the judges reversed their decision, making Lia the winner of the speech contest. Lia advanced to the regional competition with her message of Life. (more…)

1) Abortion Law Under Challenge In Victoria 2) Salt Shakers E-News: NSW – Greens MP Calls For Decriminalisation Of Abortion

Dear friends and family in Christ,

1) The following article recently appeared in the Age.  Please keep praying and acting for a divine reversal of the abortion laws in Victoria!

“Abortion law under challenge”

Jill Stark

THE federal Attorney-General is under increasing pressure from within his own party to use his powers to overturn Victoria’s new abortion laws, which leading lawyers and Catholic hospitals say are in breach of international law.

At issue is a clause in the new legislation that forces doctors who oppose abortion to declare their belief and refer patients seeking terminations to specialists who are willing to provide the procedure.

Queen’s Counsel Neil Young, a former Federal Court judge, and barrister Peter Willis, a former adviser to the attorney-general’s office, who examined the legislation on behalf of Catholic Health Australia, say that Australia will fail to meet its international obligations unless the clause is removed.

Even More Treachery

Dear friends

Prime Minister Kevin RuddObamaBoth Rudd and Obama won their elections in part by seeking to woo Christians. Yet both have consistently promoted anti-faith, anti-family and anti-life policies.

Today the Rudd government announced that it has reversed the ban on foreign aid funding for abortion services: http://www.billmuehlenberg.com/2009/03/10/killing-babies-to-improve-their-health/

Australian Committee Proposal To Pay Mothers to Abort Disabled Babies Compared To Nazis

By Hilary White

CANBERRA, November 13, 2008 (LifeSiteNews.com)

The Australian Parliamentary Group on Population and Development has been slammed by Queensland Senator Ron Boswell for holding to Nazi-style eugenic ideology on the abortion of disabled children.

“This revisiting of eugenics principles is repugnant to a society that prides itself on the contribution of all,” Boswell said.

The pro-abortion group had made a submission, signed by 41 Australian MPs, to the parliamentary committee that is examining the issue of abortion in Australia. The group said paying women a Medicare rebate for second-trimester abortions would save the government about $180,000 a year, due to the high costs of caring for handicapped babies who are allowed to be born.

STOP PRESS – URGENT PRAYER NEEDED REGARDING AUSTRALIA, ESPECIALLY THE STATE OF VICTORIA!!!

Horror Fire Warning In Herald Sun Newspaper On 2nd NovemberDear Friends and Family in Christ,

On Wednesday the 22nd of October 2008 at the Catch the Fire weekly fasting and prayer meeting in Melbourne, Pastor Danny shared with his core team of around 40 intercessory prayer warriors, a dream of serious warning that he received from the Lord the night before!

Pastor Danny stated, “I saw a man firing randomly with a weapon at people on the streets and many were falling dead. I was very disturbed and was crying. Then the scene changed and I saw fire everywhere with flames burning very high and uncontrollably. With this I awoke from my dream with the interpretation as the following words came to me in a flash from the Spirit of God,  ‘My wrath is about to be released upon Australia, in particular Victoria, for approving the slaughter of the innocent children in the womb.  Now, call on My people to repent and pray!’” (more…)

Catch The Fire Receives ‘Ultra-Sound Machine’ For Options Plus Pregnancy Crisis Counseling Ministry

Pastor Danny with Gayle & Stacey from Options Plus CareDear Family and Friends in Christ,

In 1998 when I visited the US to lobby the Congress regarding Persecuted Christians in Saudi Arabia, I witnessed a debate in the House of Reps regarding Abortion at 7 months, as many were pushing to legalise it. I just could not believe what I was hearing. I was in tears in the congressman’s office and so was he, as he was the one trying to stop it.

There I received a real burden to save the next generation of babies. So I spent some time visiting the Crisis Pregnancy Centres in the US, then came back to Australia and launched the Crisis Pregnancy Centre under the name Options + Care. Our Motto is – ‘Save a Life and Save a Soul’. (more…)

Reaping What We Have Sown – Abortion De-criminalised – Article by Pastor Danny Nalliah

Pastor Danny NalliahDear Friends and Family in Christ,

While driving I have noticed speed limits of 40km in school zones and 50km in built up areas. I believe this is to take necessary precaution and/or avoid harming children by an accident.
 
You may relate to the term, ‘Put a fence around the mountain top – rather than having an ambulance at the bottom of the mountain!’ Even if this is not familiar, all could easily understand what this means in relation to the above, but sadly when it comes to politics and legislations people seem to be naïve or shamefully ignorant in making their choices!

Final Hurdle For Abortion Bill

Geraldine Mitchell & Nick Higginbottom - October 07, 2008

Rob Hulls and wife Carolyn BurnsideOPPONENTS of the Brumby Government’s controversial abortion Bill will try to derail it in the Upper House.

The 40 MPs will today be bombarded with another series of amendments to the Abortion Law Reform Bill.

The Government could torpedo the legislation if the amendments are successful and existing provisions are watered down.

Senior minister Theo Theophanous is expected to push an amendment to change the legislation to allow an abortion up to 20 weeks rather than 24 weeks.

Mr Theophanous said yesterday he was considering amendments and predicted the vote would be tight. He has previously been outspoken on the Bill, saying 24 weeks was a “bridge too far to go” and that he would not support it. (more…)

Pro Life Prayer Rally – Against The ‘Decriminalization Abortion Bill’

Dear Family and Friends in Christ,

CADOA Peacefull Rally Agaisnt AbortionI wish to convey my heartfelt appreciation for your faithfulness in standing and being a voice for the voiceless at the Pro-life prayer rally (Against the De-criminalization of Abortion Bill) on Sunday the 5th of Oct in the city of Melbourne. I was so sad that I could not personally be there, as I was ministering in Perth WA during the weekend. My wife and children were at the rally. They were so encouraged to see the thousands show up. I was told that the police had to close the streets and tram tracks down, due to the crowds.

Well done guys! It is certainly time to Pray and Stand for what we believe. Attached below is a report from Kirsten Jack, the coordinator for CADOA (Coalition against decriminalization of Abortion), an organization which was set up many months ago, as the Lord placed in my heart that we should unite as Christians to protect the next generation of Aussies, to fight this bill when it first raised its ugly head under the Steve Brax Government. We have spent more than $80,000 on news paper adds against this bill and have done all that we could do up to now. (more…)
