Despite 200 Murders, Iraqi Church Grows Strong

Anglican Canon Andrew White Thursday, 02 June 2011 – Felicia Mann - Charisma News Online Featured News

Most Bible-believing Christians would probably run from a church after one or two of its members were murdered, much less after witnessing 200 killed in the first six months of the year.

Indeed, many of the most fervent saints would abandon a congregation where bomb blasts are the norm and where saints are kidnapped on a weekly basis.

Despite these horrible realities, however, Iraqi Anglican Canon Andrew White says his Baghdad church is 4,000 people strong—and his members are among the happiest church-goers he’s ever seen.

“So many Christians have been killed,” White said in an exclusive interview with Charisma Publisher Steve Strang which you can watch below.

“Yet the church in Iraq is so happy—miraculously happy. The fact that the church is like this is incredible. And they’ve got a huge amount to teach us.”

Luis Palau Leads Unprecedented Evangelistic Campaign in France

by Colin James : Jul 11, 2011 : Luis Palau Association

The gatherings brought together civic and church leaders as never before, breaking down barriers and establishing relationships that will last for years.

(Marseille, France)—In a country that has resisted open proclamation of the Gospel for hundreds of years, God provided a much needed breakthrough this past week in southern France, focusing attention on the city of Marseille and the greater area of Provence.

Invited by 1 Meme Coeur, an organization made up of church leaders from throughout the region, world evangelist Luis Palau led historic evangelistic campaigns in the cities of Istres, Aix-en-Provence, and Marignane. The campaign culminated in a three day “Gospel” festival on Marseille’s crowded Plage du Prado beach.

Riding on the tails of France’s official Day of Music (June 21), and appealing to France’s affinity for Gospel music, the festival in Marseille helped reach 16,000 people with the Gospel. The festival included a clear Gospel message from Palau, as well as special musical performances by guest artists from throughout France and the United Kingdom. Palau was also joined by the 73-member Salem Baptist Gospel Choir from Chicago, led by Rev. James Meeks.

Why I Have to Speak Out on Gay Marriage

Tuesday, 12 July 2011 11:25 – David Aaron Richey Newsletters – Prophetic Insight

It is interesting to me that one of the greatest states in our Union, New York, has recently made legal the marriage of two people of the same sex. There is a lot of sin in the world, and along with God I am against all of it, to include any that may operate within me.

However, when something as profound as this happens in our nation and I barely hear a peep from people who call on the name of the Lord Jesus, that scares me.

I’m not afraid of the many disasters that are happening simultaneously in our world. I’m not afraid of all the wars that are currently raging on almost every continent on the globe. The potential for nuclear accidents globally doesn’t frighten me.

What terrifies me are good men and women saying and doing nothing when politicians we voted into office are making moral laws that contradict everything a Holy God stands for.

Fathers: Key to Their Children’s Faith

Sun, Jun. 19 2011 – By S. Michael Craven | Christian Post Guest Columnist

I am afraid that our culture in general has reduced the role of fatherhood (along with marriage itself) to something nonessential or unnecessary. Even many men today regard parenting as being primarily the mother’s role and somehow no longer associated with masculinity or “real” manhood.

Instead, many have succumbed to modern cultural caricatures-encouraged by feminist psychology-and the primitive label of hunter-gatherer, and thus assume that this is their main contribution to the family. As a result too many men, including professing Christian men, express their role as father exclusively in terms of financial provider. The fact is children are not looking for financial provision; they are looking for love, guidance, and a role model for what it means to be a man.

During the colonial period in America men defined themselves by their level of community involvement and fatherhood. Marriage and fatherhood were seen as being among the highest aspirations in a man’s life. Today the highest aspirations of men seem to be career success and personal leisure; and against these they seek to balance marriage and family.

Pray for Christians’ Safety During Ramadan, Open Doors Urges

Islamic RamadanFri, Jul. 29 2011 - By Anugrah Kumar | Christian Post Contributor

Ramadan, the 30-day annual Islamic fast which begins next week, may expose Christians to an increased risk of persecution in Muslim-majority countries and believers in the West should pray for them, Open Doors USA said as it launched a Ramadan Prayer Calendar.

A Lebanese Muslim woman, shops for decorations in preparation for the Islamic holy month of Ramadan, in Beirut, Lebanon, Monday Aug. 9, 2010. Muslims traditionally decorate their homes, shops and streets for the holy month of Ramadan. Muslims throughout the world will be celebrating the holy fasting month of Ramadan, the holiest month in the Islamic calendar, refraining from eating, drinking, smoking and sex from sunrise to sunset.

“Ramadan is a time when Christians are especially isolated in some Muslim-dominated countries,” said Open Doors USA President Dr. Carl Moeller in a statement. “This is why it is so important for us to unite in prayer for persecuted Christians throughout the world.”

To help Christians pray for the persecuted, Open Doors has prepared a Ramadan Prayer Calendar having multiple prayer points and designed to help believers pray for vulnerable Christians around the world during the 30 days. (more…)

Council approves CTFM building permit / RUA Prayer 11th Anniversary / Lord Monckton and Pr Daniel in Dandenong Weekly

CTFM team prayerfully dedicating new land to the LordPr Daniel and CTFM team dedicating new land to the LordDear family & friends in Christ across Australia and around the World,

1)It is with great joy that we bring to your attention that our local council in the South Eastern Suburbs of Melbourne has finally approved our CTFM building permit after applying for it more than one year ago!

We thank God for this approval which will allow us to start building our new place of worship!

We also want to thank the Lord for His provision as  we were able to purchase the land at a cost of $590,000/- in January 2011. We currently owe the bank only $ 60,000/- as we have paid off the rest. Thank you so much for your financial and prayer support. We hope to pay the remaining $60,000/- off to the bank by the end of this year.

However, we are now trusting the Lord for the finances to build the new sanctuary where hundreds of people can come and worship Him. This will possibly cost us around $ 1.4 million. We know where there is vision, there is always provision. Please pray and partner with us in this great vision to see our nation of Australia and the Nations come back to Jesus. (more…)

Baptism of tongues, demons flee, woman healed by the power of God

CTMF Worship TeamPr Hendry from Uganda ministeringDear family & friends in Christ,

We thank and praise our Heavenly Father for another glorious weekend in His presence. I am sure you too would have had a great weekend in the Lord!. In Hallam ( Melbourne) at the CTFM base Pr Hendry from Uganda preached the Word of God with mighty power and a great anointing.

Every one who gathered at the meetings was mightily blessed by the Holy Spirit. One woman while worshipping the Lord was touched by the power of God and healed from severe problems in her legs. She came foward with much rejoicing and told the Pastor, ” my pain is completely gone”. Glory to God!

Then as people were being prayed for at the altar, another man fell on the ground and started manifesting with demons. Pr Daniel along with the CTFM team started casting the demons out as the man shouted and vomited several times as the demons left his body. We also want to give glory to God, 3 children at children’s church were baptised in the Holy Spirit and started speaking in tongues for the very first time.

Former Atheist’s Testimony Proves Nobody is Beyond Redemption

by Teresa Neumann : Jul 5, 2011 : Josephine Vivaldo – The Christian Post

“When I was 5 years old I killed my pet rabbit. I still find it hard to believe that I changed this much. You wouldn’t recognize me.” -Bob Williamson

Bob Williamson used to be the sort of person some, if not many, Christians would write off as someone least likely to get saved. He was cruel as a child, became an alcoholic at 15, was a drug addict by the time he was 17, and at the ripe old age of 18 was labeled a clinical sociopath who had no conscience. He was also an atheist who practiced witchcraft.

According to a Christian Post report, today, at the age of 64, Williamson—author of Miracle on Lucky Street—is a successful businessman who runs a multimillion-dollar company.

The report of his testimony includes an account of his time in a hospital following a near-fatal car accident when he was in his 20’s. While there, he befriended an African-American nurse. “I thought that if there was a God,” said Williamson, ” He was mean and I didn’t want to do anything with Him because my life up to that point had been a total disaster and I blamed God.”

Why did I leave the word “Christian” out of the Rise Up Australia Party offical name?? By Pr Daniel

Pastor Daniel NalliahDear family & friends in Christ across our nation of Australia,

I have had some people ask me the question as to why I did not include the word ‘Christian’ in the official name for Rise Up Australia Party?

Let me share a few reasons as to why I did not do so. Please take some time to read this email with an open mind before forming an opinion. Also would you please take a few minutes to send us a response. Which would really be appreciated.

For example, if you want to buy a box of tea, you go to Coles and look through all the packs of tea.  Then you want to buy a particular brand as it is good quality, but as you read the label you find out that the proceeds go to promote communist ideologies. Would you buy that pack of tea?? Even though you wanted that brand of tea, you would not buy that particular pack as the label put you off.

Likewise there are many Aussies out there who have very good values, are passionately in love with Australia and want to keep Australia Australian. Unfortunately if I use the word ‘Christian’, I will quite possibly ostracize the rest of the community.

When we had to fight our defence in the court case when the Muslims took us to court in 2002, many good thinking and good hearted Christians contacted me and said that I must fight my defence based on the fact that Australia is a Christian nation. However, when I prayerfully sought the Lord, I strongly felt that we should fight our defence on freedom of speech.

Unity in the Body of Christ – Key for Kingdom Breakthrough / Pr Daniel of CTFM & Pr Mark of Citylife Church apologise to each other

Pastor Mark Conner of City Life ChurchDear family & friends in Christ,Our Lord Jesus Christ’s highly priestly prayer in John 17:20-23 states, 20 “I do not pray for these alone, but also forPastor Daniel Nalliah those who will believe in Me through their word; 21 that they all may be one, as You, Father, are in Me, and I in You; that they also may be one in Us, that the world may believe that You sent Me. 22 And the glory which You gave Me I have given them, that they may be one just as We are one: 23 I in them, and You in Me; that they may be made perfect in one, and that the world may know that You have sent Me, and have loved them as You have loved Me.”

I thank our loving Heavenly Father for what He did last week when he brought together representatives of Sterihealth, Citylife & CTFM to address the issue regarding Sterihealth.

In this confidential meeting, I did not expect that the Lord would bring tremendous healing to our hearts and genuine reconciliation by His Spirit.

Certainly, last week was a great breakthrough in the Body of Christ for the advancement of the Kingdom of God, as Pastor Mark and myself connected heart to heart, to bring glory to our King of kings and the Lord of lords!

Following is a statement which Pastor Mark has recently put on his blog.

“One of the highlights of last week for me was a meeting a few of us had with Danny Nalliah from Catch the Fire Ministries. Thankfully, we were able to resolve some recent issues related to the SteriHealth company (see Danny’s recent BLOG post about this here).

Say No to Carbon Tax – Lord Monckton reveals the truth on global warming myth

Lord Monckton speaking to many RUA Party supporters at CTFM in MelbourneLord Monckton, Pr Daniel, Wife Maryse and some of the RUA Party Executive

Dear family & friends in Christ,

Lord Monckton, one of the world’s leading climate change sceptics, addressed a gathering of around 200 people at a public meeting hosted by Rise Up Australia Party – ‘Keep Australia Australian’ at Catch The Fire Apostolic Centre in Hallam, Victoria yesterday Monday the 25th of July at 7pm

Many travelled a long way to get to the meeting, as many people are desperate to know the truth about Global Warming, and in particular how the carbon tax will affect Australians. Following is the link to a very good newspaper article from the Greater Dandenong Weekly about his visit.

Climate change sceptic heads to Hallam

Pr Daniel also did an interview with ABC national radio on the religious program on Sunday night around 10.30pm. Although the interviewer wanted him to speak on the Carbon Tax from a Christian point of view, the interviewer constantly cut off Pr Daniel from sharing God’s view on climate change according to the bible.

Click Here to listen to the 10 minute part with Pr Daniel

Lord Monckton in his 1 ½ hour speech exposed the number of false data the government officials have used to hype the climate change debate in order to bring in the carbon tax. He also stressed on the point that Prime Minister Julia Gillard lied to the people. Before the last federal election she promised that there will be no Carbon Tax, but after she won the election she went back on her word.

His speech was very challenging and extremely informative. People were just absolutely shocked to know as to how the government has used false data in order to promote the Carbon Tax. He repeatedly stated  “CO2 has helped the planet to become greener rather than destroy it.”

CTFM, Citylife & Sterihealth meeting update

ReconciliationDear family & friends in Christ,

I am pleased to report that a meeting has taken place between representatives of Catch the Fire Ministries (CTFM), Citylife Church, and Sterihealth, in relation to the issue involving Sterihealth on which I have made a number of recent statements.

The meeting was conducted in a genuine spirit of reconciliation, in which each of the parties acknowledged that both CTFM and Citylife Church are wholeheartedly pro-life ministries. Because of the commercial sensitivity of details regarding Sterihealth’s business activities, the discussions were undertaken strictly on a confidential basis. (more…)
