Dear Friends and Family in Christ, Pastor Danny was recently interviewed on 6PR & 96fm Talkback Radio in Perth regarding the De-criminalisation of Abortion in Victoria, the Church and Politics.…
Dear 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.
Â
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!

Dear Friends and Family in Christ,
We regretfully forward the following update from Salt Shakers regarding the Final vote on Abortion Bill in the Victorian Upper House.
Now more than ever, as Bible-believing God-fearing Christians, we must individually and corporately cry out to the Father in Heaven to forgive His Church for not raising a united front against this evil legislation of the decriminalisation of abortion in Victoria!Â
Keep praying for His mercy to triumph over the nation of Australia and for a mighty outpouring of the Holy Spirit to convict us all of sin, righteousness, and judgment! (more…)
Dear Friends and Family in Christ,
It is a sad day for the State of Victoria and the Nation of Australia as the first vote in the Legislative Council has gone in favor of the Decriminalisation of Abortion Bill.
Please continue to pray and trust God for a miracle!
Following is a report from Salt Shakers and a newspaper article from the Herald Sun on the current situation.
Blessings,
Pr Danny (more…)

OPPONENTS 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…)
Dear Family and Friends in Christ,
I 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…)
The Victorian Legislative Council is due to debate the Abortion Law Reform Bill next week (7-9 Oct).
There are several important items we need to highlight.
In this post we cover prayer, a vital part of the battle to defeat the Bill, and action.
Â
1. PRAYER
Please PRAY that the Bill is defeated. Numbers are very close – and we know prayer is the key element in anything we do! (more…)
Dear Family and Friends in Christ,
The Revival meetings this week in Hallam, South East Melbourne saw a mighty weekend for the advancement of the Kingdom of God. Many lives were impacted by the Lord with lasting changes and evidence!
Pastor Danny and family have taken a few days for refreshing, Jason is in Papua New Guinea ministering life and freedom and gathering many for the Kingdom, so Dianne and the Catch The Fire team ministered God’s word on Sunday evening at Surrey Hills Full Gospel Church, praying for healing & restoration.
In Hallam, Melbourne – Thursday and Friday nights:
·        A woman healed of severe knee problems in Hallam a couple of weeks ago (whose photo will appear on the website this week) went to her local shop where she is well known and the owner, a Muslim lady, noticed she was no longer struggling to walk. She enquired what had happened and on receiving the information, asked if she could come with her daughter to the meeting as she also suffers from a knee complaint which restricts her mobility. The result of the conversation was that both came and have now commenced their walk in Jesus Christ. The mother received 70-80% healing for her knee complaint and was rejoicing at the improvement, while her daughter received a powerful word from the Lord which spoke into her present life circumstance, giving direction and guidance. Both were thoroughly blessed by their encounter with the Lord, and so pleased they had come. (more…)
Hello Kingdom partners,
Here are some pictures that a peace rally was conducted by our Jesus For All Generations Ministries in our Srikakulam town. On behalf of our ministry, we invited all district christians to join in our peace rally, and by the grace of God nearly 5000 believers and many ministers joined in our rally for the peace and liberty to the Christian believers in both Orissa and Karnataka states.
Dear Family and Friends in Christ,
Firstly we thank our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, then all in Australia and overseas who responded to the “PRAYER and ACTION call” regarding the problem in Orissa, India where Christians were facing severe persecution. Well, all glory goes to our faithful, Jehovah Jireh – your prayer and action has certainly paid off!
In the past few days we have been receiving reports of so many who had contacted the Indian Embassy in Australia and we know many other countries have also lobbied against the above issue. I have also been in touch with my counter-parts in the United States, who did a lot of work through Capitol Hill and the US State Department. (more…)
Dear Family and Friends in Christ,
Revival meetings this week both in Hallam, South East Melbourne and over the weekend in the country City of Mildura saw the Presence of the Lord fill His people causing healings, restoration, liberty and in the end: changed lives! The beauty of the Lord is evident as those who linger in His Presence glow with His enduement and empowerment…
In Hallam, Melbourne – Thursday and Friday nights:
One very excited lady who had suffered from arthritis and was in constant, severe pain, that caused symptoms where she was not able to walk or stand for any length of time, shared her testimony that the week prior while worshipping the Lord she felt “like an electric heat†going through her back and hip and she wondered if she was healed. Not wanting to claim something until it was tested, she waited – testing her body thoroughly during the week and as pain did not occur, she walked 2 km with her friends with ease. This was formerly impossible! She knew God had healed her and she could not wait to testify to His glory! (more…)
Dear Family and Friends in Christ,
We would greatly appreciate your urgent attention regarding the recent escalation of persecution of Christians in India. Following is an email I received that gives the details of the nature of the current crisis. For those of who live in Australia, please pray and act by calling or faxing the Indian 
Embassy in Canberra on the following numbers Tel: (02) 6273 3999 Fax: (02) 6273 1308. Make sure to be nice and polite, but also state that you are very unhappy and would greatly appreciate more effort by the Indian government to stop any further destruction of Christians in India. (more…)
Dear Family and Friends in Christ,
Hungry people cry unto God for their nation’s transformation and this definitely took place during Thursday and Friday nights at the revival meetings this week, amongst an atmosphere where the Lord’s presence prevailed, empowering the declarations sung and spoken. Praise and worship which opened the heavens, enthroning our Sovereign God, allowed many at our monthly Rise Up Australia prayer meeting on the Friday night to intercede and carry in prayer our nation’s needs. Both nights heard a continuous stream of testimonies where God’s mighty healing and releasing power was expressed in people’s lives.
Pastor Danny shared with the Body of Christ gathered the important role of the fathers in the home and referred to the book of Malachi 4:5-6 “See, I will send you the prophet Elijah before that great and dreadful day of the LORD comes. He will turn the hearts of the fathers to their children, and the hearts of the children to their fathers; or else I will come and strike the land with a curse.” God’s truth on restoring the fathers to the children and the children to the fathers is a powerful Word of God. The Holy Spirit ministered to many fathers in the congregation and tears of repentance, reconciliation and healing were witnessed. Sunday following was Father’s Day. (more…)
Dear Family and Friends in Christ,
Thank you so much for responding to the call to protest against the Decriminalization of Abortion in Victoria, or better known as the Murder up until birth bill!
Thousands of Pro-Life supporters marched through the streets of Melbourne, packing the steps of Parliament, to stand against this evil bill which will kill the next generation of Aussie’s!
We thank the Lord of the heavens and earth for answering prayer and giving us a clear sunny day, which helped many families and their little children to join in the Freedom to be Born March! (more…)
Dear Family and Friends in Christ,
The Melbourne based outpouring of Heavenly Kingdom activity continues to see people stream in from the far corners of the nation, ready to receive from the Lord the impartation needed to satisfy their hungry hearts and needing bodies. Sadly it seems, many content themselves with normal day to day activity, while the hungry, thirsty remnant of the Bride preparing herself, are only content by first drawing from the River of God. These are ‘white hot’ with the fi
re of His Presence! …it takes people like this with His Anointing and Power to transform a nation. We at Catch The Fire, are so blessed and delighted to see God raising up ‘pockets’ of His Bride willing to come together and sacrifice to see God move by His Spirit in their city and nation!
Recently Pastor Danny released teaching on the importance of prayer, urging his hearers to spend more and more time immersed in the fulfilling, meditative instruction of the Word of God, exercising decisive Word based prayer – as this a huge KEY for living a life emanating Revival. (more…)
