There are no surprises in Release International’s list of predicted hotspots for persecution in 2012. If anything, the organisation fears the plight of Christians around the world may get worse.
The organisation has received reports from partners that Christians are coming under increasing suspicion in North Korea. Practising Christianity is banned in the closed-off communist country and anyone caught with a Bible faces torture, imprisonment and possibly death.
It is monitoring events closely following the death of dictator Kim Jong-il but there is little optimism that the change of leadership to Kim Jong-un will ease their plight.
In China, authorities are considering legalising the detention of people considered a threat to national security, a move that would put lawyers and Christian human rights campaigners at risk.
There are additional concerns that the change in leadership later in 2012 may prompt authorities to tighten their grip on Christians and potential dissidents.
Bob Fu, of partner organisation China Aid, said: “Religious freedom conditions are at their lowest point since 1982.” (more…)

It’s a story of transformation that has surprised thousands and shocked all who have heard: a brutal African warlord with a violent past finds Christ and dramatically turns his life around.
Selected for The Economist Film Project, an initiative by The Economist in partnership with PBS NewsHour, “The Redemption of General Butt Naked” is a chilling documentary about the changed life of Joshua Milton Blahyi, once dubbed to be one of Liberia’s most feared warlords.
Now renouncing his violent past – which includes confessing to killing nearly 20,000 people during Liberia’s 14-year civil war – after converting to Christianity, Blahyi seeks to reinvent himself as an evangelist, traveling the nation as a preacher and asking for forgiveness from those whom he had hurt in the past.
Filmmakers Eric Strauss and Daniele Anastasion spent five years with Blahyi, closely following his troubled life as he sought forgiveness from his former soldiers and his numerous victims.
Strauss had become interested in Blahyi after he read about him in a book called The World’s Most Dangerous Places.
“It was just a tiny blurb about a notorious warlord who had killed thousands and was now walking the streets preaching truth and reconciliation,” Strauss told The Los Angeles Times. “I wondered, ‘Could someone like this really exist?’”
Dear friends and family in Christ,
1) We received the following email from Brother Peter Kentley of Australian Marketplace Connections in regard to an exciting prophetic vision he received at the National Australia Day Prayer Gathering in Melbourne on Jan 26th, 2012.
We’re forwarding it to you for your ongoing prayerful participation.
Hi Danny,
Thanks for allowing me the honour of participating in the Australia Day Service at Scots Church.
During the worship before we sang the national anthem I saw in the Spirit the floor of heaven being cracked open in thin parallel slots that allowed the shekinah glory of God to start to be released downward like thin billowing clouds emerging through the roof of the meeting as an expression of God’s pleasure, and for the purpose of extending His blessing on Australia. (I could see this in the Spirit but not in the physical).
It was not a pouring down but a beginning. It was an outcome of human penetration of the floor of heaven that released the “early rains” of the magnitude and power of heaven that can accomplish anything God wants.
I understood that the power of heaven is constrained from the natural because the difference between heaven and the world is so vast that God does not give his shekinah glory lightly or easily. It is withheld from man’s grasp due to our rebellion and hardness of heart, as with Cain, Esau, Dan, Ephraim and Judas.
But at the Scots service heaven was taken by force (Matt 11:12).
And what was that force? …. (more…)
Dear family and friends in Christ,
The Australia Day National Prayer Gathering at the Scots Church in Melbourne, organised by Catch The Fire Ministries and supported by many churches, and ministries, was a great success for the unity of the Body of Christ and the advancement of the Kingdom of God.
Around 700 Aussie Christians, along with 35 pastors and many other Christian ministers, filled the church in the city of Melbourne. Many carrying their Australian flags were so excited to see so many people of God lift up their hands to worship Jesus as King of kings and LORD of lords! There were people from every single state from across Australia present at the united prayer meeting for our nation’s transformation.
The interdenominational multi-ethnic prayer service started with the the minister from the Scots Church welcoming the people, and a great time of worship led by the CTFM worship team. Then the Uniting Church Minister prayed for Government & Leaders, followed by the AOG Pastor who prayed for protection from bush fires and thanked God for the rain.
As passionate Aussie Christians kept pouring into the auditorium, the place was full of excitement and the mighty presence of God filled the house. More worship was lifted up to heaven as people started interceding and praying for Australia’s revival, awakening, reformation and transformation.
Then the Baptist Minister led prayer for the nation and for revival in Australia. We also had prayer for the business and marketplace led by Brother Peter. Then Pas Daniel spoke on forgiveness and read a message from Pas Mark Conner of City Life Church. At this point people gathered together and spent time searching their hearts and repented before the Lord from any anger, bitterness, unforgiveness, offence, etc.

Then the Indigenous elder Aunty Margorie from Darwin led in prayer and a song of worship about welcoming the Holy Spirit from the highest mountains to the lowest valleys throughout our nation and hearts. Following this the Catholic priest led the congregation in the Lord’s prayer.
Dear family & friends in Christ, 1) Our next live webcast at CTFM is this Sunday night 29th Jan at 7.30pm (Australian Eastern Daylight Savings Time -AEDT) as Pastor Daniel…
Dear family & friends in Christ,
We are so excited to see the way God is moving in our nation of Australia, across this Great South Land of the Holy Spirit!
Even though it seems like that there is no major breakthrough, we thank God for the remnant He has preserved who have refused to bow down to political correctness in our nation and within the Church. We believe the Lord will use this remnant to awaken the Church and to shake our nation with the power of God.
On Friday 20th Jan Pr Daniel ministered at Bunbury, where around 70-80 people gathered to hear the Word of God and his personal testimony. He also shared the vision and mission God placed in his heart to take Australia for Jesus by 2020. The people were absolutely challenged and many stated, “Thank God we have now once again received hope to see revival in Australia!” At the end of the meeting there was great excitement and many signed up for membership with Rise Up Australia Party.
Pr Daniel was also interviewed by Howard Sandler of 6PR Talkback Radio in WA regarding RUA Party. Pr Daniel had the opportunity to do the interview live from the radio station. We thank God for a very productive interview. Click the following link to listen.

On Sat 21st Jan at 11am Pr Daniel met with a group of very excited committed Christians in Perth for 3 hours. Some drove 5 hours to be at this meeting. Here we saw the birth of the State Executive for Rise Up Australia Party to Keep Australia Australian in WA. This 12 member team comprises of Doctors, Teachers, a Businessman, some who have been in Politics for many years, a Journalist, Housewives and a couple of Pastors. Some others were so happy that they wanted to know more about RUA Party that they all met with Pr Daniel for coffee after the meeting, and finished up around midnight.
Pr Daniel stated, “I thank God for a very good state executive team that He has now given us for WA. They are all full of excitement and passion to keep Australia Australian and see her come back to Jesus. I am very confident that they are going to do an amazing job at the next federal election. With God’s grace we will run candidates in all lower and upper house seats in WA.”
Sat night and Sun morning He ministered at Dream Life Church in Wangara where the Lord moved most powerfully at both meetings with many mightily touched by the power of God. Many responded to the altar call, including many youth. So many were just sobbing and crying at the altar as they were being prayed for. Many others just could not stand in the presence of God. Some received healing and some others were set free from bondages.
Here to many signed up to take membership with RUA Party. At the end of the meetings people were just buzzing with great excitement and joy. (more…)

The Christian Post – Jan. 03 2012
One court in Delhi issued summons to the tech companies to stand trial for offences relating to distributing obscene material to minors, after it was shown images deemed offensive to Hindus, Muslims and Christians, reported Reuters. Another Delhi court earlier reportedly ordered the companies to remove photographs, videos or text which might hurt people’s religious sentiments.
The websites were given until Feb. 6 to remove the “anti-religious” content, according to other sources.
“The accused in connivance with each other and other unknown persons are selling, publicly exhibiting and have put into circulation obscene, lascivious content,” government representative said in court, as quoted by Reuters.
In response, a Google spokesman reportedly told the agency: “We believe that access to information is the foundation of a free society.”
“Where content is illegal or breaks our terms of service we will continue to remove it,” he added.

Behold Your New Religion, America:
Chrislam is an attempt to synchronize Christianity with Islam. While it began in Nigeria, Chrislamic ideas have spread throughout much of the world. The essential concept of Chrislam is that Christianity and Islam are compatible, that one can be a Christian and a Muslim at the same time. Chrislam is not formally a religion of its own, but rather a blurring of the differences and distinctions between Christianity and Islam.
Advocates of Chrislam point to facts such as Jesus being mentioned 25 times in the Qur’an, or Christianity and Islam having similar teachings on morals and ethics, or the need for the two largest monotheistic religions to unite to fight against the rise of atheism and alternative spirituality. Chrislam is viewed by some as the solution for the ongoing conflict between the Western world, which is predominantly Christian, and the Middle East, which is predominantly Muslim.
While it is undeniable that there are many similarities between Christianity and Islam (and Judaism for that matter), Chrislam ultimately fails because Christianity and Islam are diametrically opposed on the most important of issues – the identity of Jesus Christ. True Christianity declares Jesus to be God incarnated in human form. For Christians, the deity of Christ is a NON-NEGOTIABLE, for without His deity, Jesus’ death on the cross would not have been sufficient to be the atoning sacrifice for the sins of the entire world (1 John 2:2).
Dear friends and family in Christ, We’re forwarding the following media release from Rise Up Australia Party for your prayerful interest and participation (if possible) at the Australia Day National…
Dear Friends,
Our office has received several calls and emails from people who want to know as to when and where would Mandy’s funeral be held. Also thank you very much for your many messages of sympathy and love for Mandy’s family. Be assured we will pass it onto her family.

As soon as we have the details of date, time and venue for the funeral, we will keep our website updated.
Please continue to pray for the rest of the family.
Dear family and friends in Christ,
Today’s Herald Sun newspaper has published another article regarding our dear sister Mandy, who has gone to be with Jesus. We want to thank the media for doing a great job from the time they got to know about it, in exposing this murder mystery.

As we all know, with any issue some reports are not quite accurate.
1) One media outlet referred to us as “Gateway church” and not Catch the Fire Ministries.
2) Mandy and Nathan did not worship at Catch The Fire. They worshiped at Citylife Church. They have visited us on several occasions. Ps Daniel is not their Pastor, but a good friend.
