Pastor who survived the Genocide in Rwanda at CTFM this Sun / 6PR Radio interview in Perth / Congratulations to Pastors & Leaders

Dear family & friends in Christ,

It is with great joy we bring to your attention that Pastor David, originally from Rwanda now living in Canada, will be speaking at the CTFM base in Melbourne (Hallam) this Sunday the 8th of August at 6.30pm. This man of God has an amazing testimony of how the Lord miraculously saved him in 1994 when the Hutus massacred the Tutsis in Rwanda, with around 2 million people losing their lives.

Pastor David was formerly a Muslim, but gave his life to Jesus when the Lord miraculously healed him from an incurable disease on his deathbed in the hospital. Then his family wanted to kill him. One of his family members loaded the gun to shoot him, but Jesus appeared and said, “Do not touch My child.” This led to the salvation of the whole Muslim family, Islam to Jesus!

Sadly, a few years later when the massacre took place in Rwanda, Pastor David lost 66 members of his own family, which included his mother, father and all his brothers. Today he says, “Thank God my family accepted Jesus. I know now that I will see them again.”

I am sure you would be greatly blessed by his powerful and very challenging testimony. Do not miss this Sunday night the 8th August at 6.30pm.

Revival fire falls in Rockingham WA as people are radically transformed

Ministering in Rockingham, WA, PerthMinistering in Rockingham, WA, PerthDear family & friends in Christ,

At CTFM the last 2 years have seen the beginning of our dreams come alive in Australia after much prayer and fasting!

For the past 10 years we have been crying out to the Lord in intercessory prayer for His supernatural anointing to be poured out all across this Great South Land to see Australia come back to Jesus through a Holy Ghost Revival of God’s Mighty Miracles, Signs & Wonders!

Well once again the Spirit of God moved most mightily in Rockingham WA (one hour from Perth) in a small church where Pastor Daniel ministered over the past weekend. Every meeting with 70-80 people went on for more than 3 hours with people absolutely soaking in the presence of God, as the Holy Ghost fire and mighty hand of the Lord radically transformed people’s lives!

Some people travelled a long way to get to the revival meetings and were so blessed as the Holy Spirit ministered to every single person through Pas Daniel with words of knowledge, prophecy, healing, and miracles! Many who received the prophetic words were shouting for joy, as they saw the love of God for each person present at the meetings!

One lady testified, “My husband kicked me out of the house and threw the keys in the garden. So I picked the keys up and went off to work. I got back home on Friday night and went to bed. My husband came home late that night. I was not sure what he would do, but praise God he had come to church and got touched by the power of God. Thank you Pastor Daniel my husband is a changed man now and our marriage is restored.” (more…)

Colombian Christians Bless New President amid “Great Optimism” Over Nation’s Future

Juan Santosby Teresa Neumann : Jul 7, 2010 : Wesley W. J. Richards – Christian Today

“When someone is waiting with patience God rewards them greatly…I believe this is the Kairos (timing) of God for your life…The hand of God has supported everything you’ve done and will continue to support you. Thank you for not anticipating events, thank you for waiting, because in His time you will receive the reward.”

(Colombia)—The new President of Colombia, Dr. Juan Manual Santos was overwhelmingly elected with the support from one of the world’s fastest growing churches winning 69% of the vote.

As reported in Christian Today, during his campaign Santos attended campaign meetings hosted by Misión Carismática Internacional (MCI), with more than 200,000 members and leaders from the church were also reportedly elected to the Senate, Congress and Andean Parliament for the ‘U’ party, led by Santos.

At an MCI conference earlier this year, Pastor Wes Richards, from King’s Church International in Windsor told Santos: “You helped to give this nation hope in dark moments of despair and when you have faced entrenched evil. We are all very grateful for the contribution you have made to the security of this nation.”

First the Power, then the Promise: God’s Light Show over Chicago

Rainbow over ChicagoLightning over Chicagoby Aimee Herd : Jun 30, 2010

He covers His hands with lightning, and commands it to strike.” Job 36:32

God has always said there would be signs in the heavens and in the earth. This could be a sign that our government, where most of the new team are from—Chicago—should pay attention to the God who is the “Father of Lights.” And so should we all pay close attention to the signs sent from Heaven. –Steve Shultz, BCN.

A video camera set up by Craig Shimala captured some amazing action in the sky over Chicago recently, and it’s been posted online in slow motion, making it all the more remarkable.

In the first video, several chains of white-hot lightning are seen connecting with familiar landmarks outlining the Chicago skyline—a “triple strike” on the Willis Tower, Trump International Hotel and Tower and the John Hancock Building.

But the light-show wasn’t over, and fortunately Shimala kept the camera rolling for what came next—shown on the second video. (more…)

‘I went into prison a terrorist and came out an evangelist’: Former Ulster fighter abandons life of violence after finding God

article-1293033-0a5ce605000005dc-283_468x665By Liz Hull on 9th July 2010

As a member of the Ulster Volunteer Force, David Hamilton’s life was peppered with violence and murder.

He was repeatedly shot, orchestrated bombings and bank robberies, and brought terror to the streets of Northern Ireland.

But after spending years in jail, the 56-year-old has turned his back on his old life and committed himself to peace as a pastor in England.

 New beginning: Former loyalist terrorist David Hamilton has abandoned his life of bombs, guns and armed robbery to become a pastor.

Mr Hamilton yesterday revealed he ‘found God’ while serving an 11-year sentence in the notorious Maze prison and currently presides over a 200-strong congregation at the Heaton Chapel Christian Fellowship near Stockport.

Good News! Mosab Yousef Can Stay in America

Mosab Yousefby Dan Wooding : Jun 30, 2010 :

Judge agrees to grant him asylum after governement drops its objection to him staying

UPDATE by Dan Wooding: (San Diego)—Mosab Hassan Yousef, author of the best-selling, “Son of Hamas” has won the right to stay in the Unites States after a huge campaign by both Christians and Jews had called for him to be granted U.S. asylum.

With his friends in court to support him, Yousef got the news during a 15-minute deportation hearing Wednesday (June 30, 2010,) in San Diego, California, after a U.S. Department of Homeland Security attorney said the government was dropping its objections.

Yousef is the eldest son of Hamas founder Sheikh Hassan Yousef, and became a Christian some time back after being given a Gospel tract in Jerusalem by a London taxi driver who was on vacation in the Holy Land.

After his conversion, he later became a spy for Israel’s Shin Bet agency and their leadership had praised his courage.

The battle to keep Yousef in American began when the DHS denied his asylum request in February 2009, claiming that he had been involved in terrorism and was a threat to the United States. (more…)

Mohammed (A Former Muslim) now preaching Jesus at CTFM this Sunday

Dear family & friends in Christ,

Mohammed a former Muslim from Pakistan, now a mighty Christian man of God, will be preaching at the CTFM base in Hallam at the 9.30am service. This man of God was once a very prominent and radical Muslim leader in Pakistan who hated the Christians and Jews, but today he absolutely loves everyone with the love of Jesus!

He was born into a very strict and radical Muslim family in Pakistan.  His father was one of the leading Islamic clerics in the country. When his Muslim parents found out that their son had become a Christian, they wanted to kill him, but most amazingly God protected him.

This dear brother in Christ has served with the Pakistan Air Force for many years. Once he was born-again he began to share his Christian faith with everyone he met, including his Muslim mates in the Air Force. When the Air Force found out that he had become a Christian he was sentenced to jail. After 4 months he was miraculously released from prison.

Salvations, Blind eyes open, People radically impacted by Spirit of God as Christians unite from 20 churches in Gosford, Central Coast, NSW

Dr Glenda healed of partial blindnessDear family & friends in Christ,Ps Daniel praying as youth surrender to Jesus at altar

What an amazing weekend in the increasing Spirit of breakthrough and revival it has been in Hallam (Melbourne), Gosford (Central Coast), and Maitland, NSW!

Every week is getting better with an ever increasing outpouring of the Holy Spirit and Fire!

Last Friday night was such a glorious night with the Watoto Children’s Choir from Uganda, Africa ministering through anointed praise and worship at the CTFM base in Hallam. We had a packed out crowd of over 300 people from many different denominations, churches, and ethnicities as the Spirit of God deeply touched the hearts of many through tWatoto Children\'s Choir at CTFMhe beautiful children. Around 50 people made a public commitment to Jesus as Lord and Saviour.

On Sunday Pr Howard Bass from Beersheba, Israel shared the prophetic word of God and many were greatly impacted when they heard what the Lord is doing in the Middle East and in the nation of Israel.  He also shared on the many serious challenges facing the nation of Israel and the desperate need to pray for Israel every day.

Pr Daniel ministered in Gosford, (Central Coast) NSW on the weekend as hundreds who gathered to hear the word of God were mightily touched and tremendously blessed through the ministry of the Holy Spirit. Around 25 people made a commitment to Jesus as Lord and Saviour. Many young people were so radically impacted and set on fire for Jesus. Around 18 people (including many youth) were baptised in the Holy Spirit and prayed in tongues for the very first time. Many others were healed and set free. One lady travelled from Newcastle to share how God healed her from partial blindness when Pr Daniel prayed for her over the telephone a few months ago. Everyone  was so excited to hear her miraculous testimony.

Power of God falls in Sri Lanka & Malaysia – Salvations, Healings, Miracles

more than 900 people pack the altar as Ps Daniel ministers at SIB church in KL MalaysiaThank you for loving and helping us AustraliaDear family & friends in Christ,
 
I am so glad to be back home in Australia after a month overseas.  I arrived back with my wife and daughter late Tuesday night.  Our time away from Australia has been amazing.  As you would have read from my last few emails God moved most powerfully in Israel.
 
We spent 3 weeks in Sri Lanka & Malaysia on our return from Israel.  In Sri Lanka we caught up with our family and friends. I also had the great opportunity of visiting the 3 Children’s homes (where we feed, clothe & educate around 80 children) and the feeding program (where we feed 150 children lunch every day).  I was so happy to meet with them, and they were also very excited to see me. They all looked so great, happy and well taken care of.
 
I interviewed many of the kids one on one. The feedback from the kids were full of positive remarks and I am so pleased with the pastors who are taking care of these children. They refuse to call them orphPs Daniel with Dilma tea company owner\'s son at tower they erected to honour Jesusans, they always call them “our children”.
 Ps Daniel, wife Maryse, and daughter Brianna in SL
I am so grateful to all of you who assist in keeping these projects running in Sri Lanka through your generous support.  If not for your help, we would not be able to finance them.  Catch The Fire Ministries releases 100% of all finances which come in for ‘Rescue Sri Lanka’ to Sri Lanka.
Some very exciting news, as a result of the feeding projects in 4 towns, now the Pastor I am working with has started 3 new churches and has seen 45 families born again. Thank you so much for financing these projects, as you have played a key role in winning these families to Jesus. Your continued support will be greatly appreciated.

I was in tears when I left each location as the kids came around me and said, “Please don’t go so soon, we love you so much, thank you for caring for us. When are you coming back?”  (more…)

Church Shift! 10/40 Window No Longer a Mission Field, but a “mission force”

10/40 Window now a Mission ForceAimee Herd (June 24, 2010)

“The Eastern Church that is rising up with radical faith is going to mobilize and inspire the rest of the Body of Christ around the world to get the Great Commission done.”

Pastor and Hip Hop artist, Jaseon Ma, has produced a film (1040) documenting the amazing work God seems to be doing in the Asia 10/40 window; (where the bulk of the world’s unreached people live) in the areas between 10 degrees and 40 degrees North Latitude.

Asia is a region of the world that, Jaseon explains, is alive and in motion with God’s Spirit in a “dramatic way.” (more…)

Babies know the difference between good and evil at six months, study reveals

By Teresa Neumann Breaking Christian News 
per David Derbyshire Daily Mail 10th May 2010
 
“You can see glimmers of moral thought, moral judgment and moral feeling even in the first year of life. 
 Some sense of good and evil seems to be bred in the bones.”  In a stunning scientific report, researchers are admitting that by six months of age babies have a moral code and can tell between good and evil, effectively challenging the “blank slate” theory of human morality so long espoused by science.
Calling the series of experiments “astonishing,” the Daily Mail reports that psychologists now suggest the understanding of what is right and wrong may be “hardwired” into the brain at birth after all.

But, according to psychologists, they have already developed a sense of moral code – and can tell the difference between good and evil.

An astonishing series of experiments is challenging the views of many psychologists and social scientists that human beings are born as ‘blank slates’ – and that our morality is shaped by our parents and experiences.

Leading research: Professor Paul Bloom, of Yale University, said a series of morality tales featuring puppets were shown to babies of varying ages

Professor Paul Bloom, a psychologist at Yale University in Connecticut, whose department has studied morality in babies for years, said: ‘A growing body of evidence suggests that humans do have a rudimentary moral sense from the very start of life.

‘With the help of well designed experiments, you can see glimmers of moral thought, moral judgment and moral feeling even in the first year of life.

‘Some sense of good and evil seems to be bred in the bones.’ (more…)

CTFM Israel mission report part 3 / Woman raised from the dead / by Pastor Daniel

Diana with Dr Murray and Geraldine of CTFM in Hospital Dear family & friends in Christ,

I am sure this part 3 report of God’s mighty power at work right in the Nation of Israel will greatly bless and encourage you to know that we serve a God of miracles!

On the last day of our tour in Israel we all boarded the 2 buses and started on our journey to cross the border into Jordan to visit mount Nebo before proceeding to the Amman Airport for our flights the same day.

In my bus was a lady by the name of Diana from Wagga Wagga in NSW, which is 4 hours from Melbourne, Australia, who had joined us on the tour. Also in the same bus was a Doctor by the name of Murray from Western Australia.

All seemed normal, except for the fact that we were sad to leave Israel, so as usual we started worshipping and singing praises to God. I was seated at the front of the bus as I was using the microphone to lead the people in worship.

While we were driving we were also talking about how great it was to visit the tombs of Lazarus and Jesus, as they were both raised from the dead in Israel over two thousand years ago. Suddenly I heard some shouting in the bus. At first I did not take much notice, but then my wife shouted out, “Danny, Danny come here.” She had just noticed something that she had seen a few times in ministry before.

God’s Strategic Plan for Iran

Wednesday, 26 May 2010 J. Lee Grady Newsletters – Fire in my Bones

An Iranian evangelist says a spiritual awakening of unprecedented magnitude is occurring behind the scenes in a nation known for its terrorism.

Most Americans have put Iran on a blacklist. We’re concerned about Shiite militants who spread terrorism around the world, we don’t trust Iran’s nuclear weapons plans and we can’t stomach Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad’s human rights record or his maniac ways.

But my friend Lazarus Yeghnazar, an Iranian evangelist based in England, hopes you will develop some compassion for this part of the world. Most of us associate the Bible with Israel, but did you know that Esther, Daniel, Nehemiah, Ezra and Habakkuk all walked on Persian land that is now called Iran? In fact, the tombs of Esther, Daniel, Habakkuk, Cyrus and Darius are in Iran.

“”Yeghnazar says the churches are growing so fast in Iran that some leaders have wondered if they should stop evangelizing. ‘One church leader told me they have stopped sharing their faith because every Iranian they witness to comes to Christ.’ “       

Yeghnazar points out that Iranians were among the first Christian converts. The people known as Parthians, Medes and Elamites, who were in Jerusalem on the day of Pentecost (see Acts 2:9, 11), were from what is now Iran. Jeremiah prophesied that God would “restore the fortunes of Elam” in the last days (see Jer. 49:39). Elam is modern-day Iran.

This promise of spiritual restoration is no longer a far-off dream. A vibrant New Testament church is thriving in Iran, in spite of brutal persecution under Ahmadinejad’s regime. And this growing spiritual awakening in Iran could play a significant role in end-time events. (more…)
