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.

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.â€
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…)
Dear 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…)
Dear 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.

“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.”
Dear 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. Â 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.
Dear 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 for
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.â€
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).
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.

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.â€
Dear 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…)
For immediate release
Lord Monckton will show how a Carbon Tax / CO2 reduction is useless
Reviled by some and lauded by others the world’s best known climate sceptic Lord Monckton will deliver a 90 minute speech of scientific evidence and economic reasons, in layman terms, to show that a carbon tax or any CO2 reduction idea is useless, at a Rise up Australia (Keep Australia Australian) meeting on Monday 25 July at 7pm.
The world`s best known climate sceptic, a widely recognized commentator on climate sensitivity, will be addressing a packed crowd of Rise Up Australia Party Supporters and others in Melbourne at Catch the Fire Apostolic Centre, 23 Melverton Drive in Hallam. (Melways 96:G2)
“Lord Monckton will show the futility of the carbon tax which Prime Minister Julia Gillard is determined to thrust on Australian families who will feel it hit their hip pockets in the not too distant future,†said Rev Dr Daniel Nalliah, Chairman – Rise Up Australia Party (Keep Australia Australian).
Lord Monckton has challenged Al Gore and every high profile climate alarmist to debates and few have accepted the challenge.

Don’t lose hope. God has promised to answer when we persevere.
So you pray for something for years and then you wake up one day, breathe a big sigh and say to yourself:
This is crazy. Nothing is happening. God must not be listening.
Congratulations. If this has been your experience you are not alone. You’ve been enrolled in the School of Persevering Prayer, and it’s not a one-semester class. It’s a lifelong journey designed to stretch your faith, develop your character, purify your motives, test your patience and increase your capacity to know and experience God’s amazing love.
“Have you ever been around a woman in her ninth month of pregnancy? She is often in a state of agitation—ready to give birth but weary of the strain. I know many Christians today who are in this same uncomfortable stage of spiritual travail.†(more…)

Christians ‘not vilified’ by Islamic billboards says Australian Advertising Standards Bureau
But that doesn’t satisfy one Christian who says that they are ‘a willful abuse of our freedom of speech and democratic values’
SYDNEY, AUSTRALIA (ANS) — Proclaiming Jesus to be “a prophet of Islam†on billboards in Australia is a statement of belief and does not discriminate against or vilify Christians, the Advertising Standards Bureau (ASB) there has found.
The row erupted in late May, when signs were placed on billboards in major Sydney roads, specifically chosen for maximum exposure. Organized and privately funded by an Islamic group called “MyPeace†the billboards advertise Muslim beliefs, including a claim that has upset the Christian community – that Jesus, like Mohamed, was a prophet of Islam.

Dear family & friends in Christ,
1) We thank and praise God for His mighty hand increasingly at work in our nation Australia!
We have a long way to go for Australia’s national revival, reformation and transformation, but praise the Lord for what He is doing through the anointing of His Holy Spirit!
Over the weekend Pr Daniel ministered in Brisbane at 3 services in 2 different churches as many gathered for the revival meetings which were charged with the anointing of the Holy Spirit as Pr Daniel preached the prophetic Word of the Lord!
Many people gathered at the altar during worship to seek the Lord’s presence and were mightily touched and healed by the power of God!
One man at the Sunday night service shared with Pr Daniel how he was miraculously healed from memory loss. He said, “I thank God for healing me from memory loss. I feel so good.”

BRISBANE, AUSTRALIA (ANS) — Dr. Fidel Cholo Fernandez, a 57-year-old pathologist from the city of Zamboanga in the Philippines, spends his days studying diseases under the microscope, but he also is a believer in divine healing.
Fernandez is one of more than 220 doctors, scientists and medical professionals from 30 countries who are gathered in Brisbane, a city that earlier this year was devastated by floods, to participate in the 8th World Christian Doctors Network “Spirituality and Medicine†conference.
Held on June 11-12, 2010, the medics — many of whom pray for their patients as well as giving them more usual treatment — to explore whether miracles still happen today and, if they do, to provide medical data to prove them.
The doctor’s believe that all “miracles†should be provable by data, and so they are giving case studios that are presented with the data flashed on large screens in the Brisbane Convention and Exhibition Centre.
The Philippines-born doctor told me about a particular healing — the story of a Korea Christian called Deacon Han who had been diagnosed with early gastric cancer following an endoscopic study on September, 2002. (more…)

A doctor brings an amazing report during Brisbane medical conference
BRISBANE, AUSTRALIA (ANS) — A Christian group of doctors and medical professionals listened in shocked amazement as one of their own told the incredible story of how he came back from the dead.
He was Dr. Sean Thomas George, an Indian born doctor who is now a consultant physician in a West Australian hospital and he told his extraordinary story before more than 220 Christian medics on the first day of the 8th Annual International Christian Medical Conference called “Spirituality and Medicine†being held June 11-12, 2011 in Brisbane, Australia.
“I was dead for 1 hour and 25 minutes, but came back to life after my wife prayed a simple prayer,†said Dr. George, who provided all kinds of medical data that put on a large screen for the other doctors to check out.
He said that it on October 24, 2008, he returned from the dead to amaze colleagues who had battled for almost 55 minutes to revive his lifeless heart.
