Christian Students Executed by Boko Haram in Nigeria; Believers Pray for ‘Change of Heart

By Katherine Weber , Christian Post Reporter – October 3, 2012

Multiple sources have confirmed that about 25 to 30 Christian college students were massacred at a university in northeastern Nigeria late Monday night, causing Christians to pray for a “change of heart” among the extremist Islamist group Boko Haram to put a stop to the continued violence.

While there is speculation as to the motive of the massacre, sources close to the human rights watchdog Open Doors USA confirm that the massacre was performed by Boko Haram.

Emily Fuentes, the communications and public relations coordinator for Open Doors who recently visited Nigeria and spoke to Christian leaders about Boko Haram, told The Christian Post that believers around the world can agree that prayer is the “only thing that will change the people of Boko Haram.”

“There are people who are turning to Christ who used to be in the Boko Haram, and God is changing their hearts,” Fuentes told CP.

“A lot of Christians believe that God will change these peoples’ hearts,” she added.

Millions of Global Christians United in Prayer on October 7 During The Day of Prayer for the Peace of Jerusalem

Millions of Christians united across denominational, cultural, and political differences on Sunday, October 7, as part of The Day of Prayer for the Peace of Jerusalem (DPPJ) to intercede for the city God calls His own and to invoke God’s blessing, purposes, and provision upon all of Jerusalem’s people. From over 175 nations, believers gathered to pray in their worship services, in their homes, on college campuses, in regional gatherings, and on a 24 Hour Prayer Conference Call.

Broadcast by GOD TV to over 200 nations, Christians were also able to join the special DPPJ Celebration at the International Convention Center in Jerusalem. It was co-hosted by the International Christian Embassy Jerusalem ( ICEJ), who had gathered more than 5,000 believers from nearly 90 countries for that week. Its Executive Director – Dr. Jürgen Bühler – told the packed audience: “We have to pray for Israel like never before and stand with Israel like never before. We have to pray for all the inhabitants of Jerusalem, both Jew and Arab…and as we pray for Israel, we must pray for the Arab nations too.”

Special guests and speakers participating in the Jerusalem event included the Israeli Hip Hop artists “Lions of Zion”, as well as Deputy Speaker of the Knesset, MK Danny Danon; Chief Rabbi of Efrat, Dr. Shlomo Riskin; International Director of Interreligious Affairs of the AJC, Rabbi Dr. David Rosen; and other Jewish and Evangelical Christian leaders.

This multinational, multi-denominational DPPJ global prayer movement was started in 2002 by Evangelical Christian leaders with Dr. Jack W. Hayford and Rev. Dr. Robert Stearns serving as co-chairmen. Rev. Stearns, Founder/Director of Eagles’ Wings, explained: “We are gathering together in Jerusalem during the season of the High Holidays and declaring that Christians will continue to pray for G-d’s peace to come to all the inhabitants of Jerusalem. We will remind G-d of His promises, and we will remind Israel’s detractors that Israel is not alone.” (more…)

Further to the Religious Vilification Laws re the two Dannys – Blasphemy laws and ‘defamation’ of Islam

Dear family & friends in Christ,

Further to our previous post regarding Bob Carr’s statement on the religious vilification laws re the two Danny’s, please read and act on the following important email from Salt Shakers.

UN – Blasphemy laws and ‘defamation’ of Islam Posted online.

The UN is again considering ‘defamation of religion’ laws. Last year a ‘compromise motion’ on ‘religious tolerance’ – with similar aims – was approved by the UN (source).

We want Australia to oppose – and vote AGAINST – both ‘defamation of religion’ laws and also ‘religious tolerance’ laws.

See the ACTION section below – contact PM Julia Gillard and Foreign Minister Bob Carr.

In Victoria, we are acutely aware of the problems caused by the Racial and Religious Tolerance Act, introduced by the Bracks Labor government in 2001.

The most high-profile case, involving Pastor Daniel Scot and Catch the Fire Ministries, caused huge angst and took five years to ‘resolve’! Religious vilification laws create disharmony and unrest. They are often used to shut down debate and criticism.

Muslim Brotherhood Calls for More Protests Against America

Posted by Daniel Greenfield Bio ? on Sep 12th, 2012 

Brotherhood secretary-general Mahmoud Hussein called for a “peaceful protest to condemn insults to religious convictions and insults to the Prophet”, adding it would start after noon prayers on Friday in front of main mosques across Egypt.

Right… peaceful. Morsi did not condemn the attacks and his government failed to provide proper protection even though a similar attack had been launched against the Israeli embassy.

The Egyptian media has been stoking the flames of this conflict and Morsi recently took control of the media and appointed Muslim Brotherhood loyalists to head state-owned media outlets. That means there is a high probability that the Muslim Brotherhood directed this attack or at the very least used propaganda to set it in motion.

Obama is handing a cool billion to Morsi, but the Muslim Brotherhood is still conducting protests against America. The Arabic Muslim Brotherhood site contains a call from the Jordanian Muslim Brotherhood calls for “official and popular levels of action to stop this crime against Islam.” While the English Ikhwan site has put up a condemnation of the Benghazi attack, no such condemnation exists on the Arabic Ikhwan site.

Foreign Minister Bob Carr speaks out against Sydney Riots/Racial & Religious Vilification laws and quotes the case of the two Pastors

The Two Dannys' Celebrate God's VictoryDear family & friends in Christ,

In case you did not get the opportunity to watch the program “Insiders” on 23rd September 2012 on ABC24, attached is the link to the broadcast. If you fast forward it to the 3 minute mark and then watch the footage for the next 2 minutes, you will hear Foreign Minister Bob Carr speak out against the Racial & Religious vilification laws, from New York.  He then refers to the “Pastors” (Daniel Nalliah & Daniel scot) and the long drawn out court case in Victoria.

To watch,  click on one of the two links below:

‘BARRIE CASSIDY: Now the Turkish prime minister, as I understand it, is putting forward a proposal for international laws on religious defamation. What do you make of that idea?

Bob CARR: ‘I don’t think that would be acceptable to the Western world.  We had a little example of how religious vilification laws work in a case that gained some notoriety under the Victorian legislation, and it meant drawn-out legal process directed at some pastors who would have gained, without this, no publicity whatsoever for their criticism of Islam. I think dragging religious disputes into the courts is a very bad notion.

Gay marriage bill ‘personal’ for senator

AAP • 17/09/2012 

The same-sex marriage debate has a personal dimension for Labor Senator Louise Pratt, who has a transgender partner.

An emotional Senator Pratt has told the Senate the law as it stands discriminates against her relationship and those of many other Australians.

“I am one of those hundreds of thousands of Australian citizens who knows that the laws of our nation hold our capacity for love and for commitment to be lesser because of the gender of our partner,” she said on Monday.

“One of hundreds of thousands of Australian citizens who knows that the laws of our nation say we are less deserving of rights, respect and recognition.

“We know that those ideas are not true and that the laws that reinforce them are not right.

“This debate has a personal impact for me.”

Victory for pro-lifers in key freedom of expression case

Published by Christian Concern – September 17th, 2012

A District Judge, sitting at Brighton Magistrates’ Court announced today that all charges were being dismissed against Christian pro-life campaigner Andy Stephenson. The case against his fellow campaigner, Kathryn Sloane, was dismissed on Thursday of last week (13 Sep) during the same trial.

All charges against both campaigners have therefore now been dismissed. District Judge Nicholson’s reasoning in the case is expected at 2pm tomorrow (18 Sep).

Andy and Kathryn were supported by the Christian Legal Centre and were represented in Court by human rights barrister Paul Diamond and Mr Michael Phillips.

Andy and Kathryn, members of the campaign group Abort67, were arrested in June 2011, whilst demonstrating silently in the vicinity of Wistons Clinic, operated by leading abortion provider BPAS, in Brighton. As part of its public education project, the group, which has held peaceful protests outside the establishment for 5 years, displays images of aborted babies but does so silently and without harassment.

Great move of the Holy Spirit in Newcastle, NSW

Dear family & friends in Christ,
1) On his return from ministering in Newcastle, Pr Daniel said ‘We thank and praise God for those Pastors who are genuinely going after the Holy Spirit. God has certainly preserved a   remnant of church leaders who are willing to still stand strong and trust in the Holy Spirit for revival. These Pastors are often critisized by other fellow brothers in Christ, but even when David’s brothers criticized him, he did not give up. But took the challenge and won the battle, and they all celebrated. So we must also love our brothers who critisize us, no matter what they say, and pray for them’.

God moved mightily at every service and many were powerfully touched as they opened their hearts to the Holy Spirit, and hundreds of people gathered at the meetings. On sunday morning the church was packed, and then following the service was a wedding in the church, in which many people who normally do not go to church, were mightily impacted by the Word and presence of God. Pr Daniel prayed for many people who received a powerful touch from our mighty King Jesus.’

Pr Daniel also spoke about Rise Up Australia Party and challenged the people to stand up for their nation, and keep Australia Australian. The people responded with much excitment and many signed up to join the party membership. Some were also willing to stand as candidates in the Newcastle area in the next federal election.Pr Daniel stated, ” I am so hapy to see the response from the people. Particularly on Sunday morning many who normally do not go to church were at the service and many of them too signed up and took membership. This was very encouraging”.

Melbourne Islamic rally cancelled

Nine MSN News 20/09/12

One of the key organisers of an Islamic rally to be held in Melbourne on Sunday has cancelled the protest amid police concerns it will be overrun by violent activists.

Swaybah Javed, who had helped invite more than 1800 people through social networking to a rally outside the city’s State Library, says she’s been forced to scrap the event.

“I am calling off the protest as I do not want more violence on the streets, as Islam does not promote violence,” she told AAP on Thursday.

“It is a shameful day for Australia when Islamophobia has boiled over to the point where it is impossible to carry out a peaceful protest.”

Victoria Police Deputy Commissioner Tim Cartwright had already started planning for the worst on Sunday, putting mounted police and heavily armed police on alert and warning that those planning the rally were not representatives of the Islamic community.

Rise Up Australia Party Media Release: Julia Gillard sides with Coalition against gay marriage vote

General Immediate Media Release  – 21 September 2012 (14:00hrs)

Julia Gillard sides with Coalition against gay marriage vote

“I congratulate Prime Minister Gillard, Opposition Leader Tony Abbott, Liberal  and National Party Members of the House of Representatives and a majority of Labor Party Representatives who overwhelmingly voted down a second bill to allow gay marriage,” said the National President, Daniel Nalliah of Rise Up Australia Party this morning from his office in Melbourne.

 Rise Up Australia Party is a multi-ethnic party that is totally opposed to multiculturalism.  Multiculturalism causes immigrants to build ethnic enclaves and defeats the very purpose it was created to protect. Instead of uniting communities, multiculturalism divides a nation into ethnic groupings. This is counterproductive to a harmonious democratic society.

Mr. Nalliah was responding to comments in Wednesday’s Australian, “ In a rare sight, the Prime Minister and several of her frontbenchers, including Treasurer Wayne Swan and Environment Minister Tony Burke, moved across to the Coalition benches, facing almost 40 of their Labor party colleagues as the vote was counted … The vote in the lower house came as debate continued in the Senate on a parallel bill for gay marriage put forward by four Labor senators.”

Rise Up Australia Party is committed to marriage as the union of a man and woman, and the promotion of marriage as an institution that provides the best nurturing environment for children and that has substantial economic benefits for society.
