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…)
Dear Family and Friends in Christ,
All praise and glory to our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ for His continual goodness to our Nation of Australia – amazing healings & releases display His glory! In 
Hallam, we continue to see the mighty hand of God at work in lives and His Presence creates freedom in worship and expression.
A highlight of Friday night at Hallam (our monthly Rise Up Australia prayer night), was the believers prophetic prayer standing in the shape of the Cross – as they prayed earnestly about the Victorian Legislative Council preparing to debate the Abortion Law Reform Bill this week (7-9 Oct). We encourage you to keep praying as this unfolds. (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…)
THE TIMES
The government has quietly sanctioned the powers for sharia judges to rule on cases ranging from divorce and financial disputes to those involving domestic violence.
Rulings issued by a network of five sharia courts are enforceable with the full power of the judicial system, through county courts or the country’s High Court, a part of its Supreme Court system.
Previously, the rulings of sharia courts in Britain could not be enforced, and depended on voluntary compliance among Muslims. (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…)
By Jeff King,
I’m sure you have heard the terrible news coming out of Orissa, India where the Christian community has been brutalized.
Up to 50 Christians have been murdered and 100 churches destroyed, with 20,000 in refugee camps and up to 50,000 Christians hiding in the jungles and left homeless.
As we speak, ICC has 2 representatives inside Orissa. One will be distributing emergency aid to devastated Christians and the other is investigating/recording the ongoing tragedy. (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…)

 (Washington, D.C.) You have probably never heard of Father Zakaria Botros.
But you need to know his story. He is far and away the most-watched and most-effective Arab-American evangelist focused on reaching the Muslim world, and by far the most controversial. The Rush Limbaugh of the Revivalists, he is funny, feisty, brilliant, opinionated, and provocative. But rather than preaching the gospel of conservatism, he is preaching the gospel of Jesus Christ. And his enemies do not simply want to silence him. They want to assassinate him.
Last week, I had the honor of interviewing Botros by phone from a secure, undisclosed location in the United States, where he now resides. He told me that he had just learned that an al Qaeda website had posted his photograph and named him one of the “most wanted” infidels in the world. The Radicals have even put a bounty on his head. The Christian Broadcasting Network reported the figure was as high as $60 million. Botros does not know for certain. But just to put that in context, the U.S. bounty on Osama bin Laden’s head is “only” $25 million. (more…)
Dear Family and Friends in Christ,
As God’s manifest Presence dwells among us, we joyously and vigorously thank the Saviour of our souls! Our spirits are alive in Him, our voices cannot cease continually praising Him all day long and all night through!!
For those who attend the Melbourne Healing Revival it has become a time in their week that they hate to miss. Would you chose other things if you could corporately meet with the Lord and his people, lingering in His Divine Presence? I know I would not!
Following are four more testimonies of healings from the Revival – people continue to testify as they receive physical healing, emotional stability, deliverance from additions and depression and set free to live this Christian life in Christ without restraint. (more…)
War On Jihad
An Islamic court in Shiraz, Iran , has just convicted two men of being infidels. Their crime? Converting to Christianity. The possible sentence? Death. Not too far away in Saudi Arabia, an outraged father recently hacked his own daughter to death for the same “abomination.”
In the daily drumbeat of Mideast news, there is one story of historic proportion that goes nearly unreported: the persecution and systematic destruction in the Islamic world of some of the world’s oldest Christian communities.
Sure, we hear when a Catholic bishop is murdered in Iraq, when machete-armed fanatics attack Egyptian Copt worshipers, or when churches are torched in Hamas-controlled Gaza. (more…)
