Witnessing History in the Making – 500 people respond to an altar call at an outreach conference in Tel Aviv, Israel

Israeli FlagVoice of Judah Ministries – Pastor Israel – 11th May 2011

Shalom Greetings!  
   
Last week we organized an outreach conference with an international evangelist and a friend of Israel, David Hathaway, who has ministered worldwide for over 60 years. This year he celebrated his 50 anniversary since his first ever visit to Israel in 1961. It was a very joyous celebration with the theme: Israel – yesterday, today and forever. He has a big heart and a big passion for Israel and the people of Israel and it was reflected in his message.
 
Over 700 people attended the 2-day conference. Most of them NON-believers and many of the guests at the conference were an older generation, holocaust survivors and many other Israelis. For most of them it was the first time they had ever heard the gospel of a Jewish Messiah preached to them. Their response was overwhelming!
 
On the first night more than 300 people responded to the altar call, came forward to receive Yeshua as their Messiah! The second night 200 people also gave their lives to Yeshua. It has exceeded all our expectations! We have never seen such a large number of people in Israel responding to the message of Yeshua.  
 
We saw what a difference our social work makes. The love, patience and help to people does wonders. We thank God that Voice of Judah is a ministry that continuously bears such fruit.

World Christian Doctors Will ‘Vote For Miracles’ during Unique Conference in Brisbane, Australia June 11-12

Dan Wooding (May 12, 2011)

They will be searching for evidence of Divine Healing

(Brisbane, Australia )—Christian doctors and medical professionals will be flooding into Brisbane, Australia, a city that earlier this year was itself devastated by floods, for a unique conference called “Spirituality and Medicine.”

The World Christian Doctors Network (WCDN) has announced details of its 8th Annual International Conference to be held at the Brisbane Convention and Exhibition Centre from June 11-12, 2011. (WCDN is an interdenominational organization composed of Christian medical professionals from around the world who believe in divine healing.)

“WCDN wants to motivate Christian medical professionals to reflect the love of Jesus Christ and to be a witness for Him in their professional life,” said a spokesperson for the organization.

He went on to say, “Two thirds of medical schools in the US, including Harvard and Johns Hopkins, offer courses on spirituality and faith in their curriculums, largely because patients are demanding more spiritual care. According to a Newsweek poll, 84% of Americans said that praying for others can have a positive effect on their recovery.”

China’s House Churches Begin to Roar

Chinese believersby Rachel Sparkman : May 10, 2011 : China Aid

In an historic move, Chinese house church leaders petition legislature to guarantee freedom of religion.

EDITOR’S NOTE: For dozens of years the world has witnessed the miraculous growth of the underground and house church movement throughout China in the face of grave persecution. Now house church leaders have gained an even stronger boldness as they petition their communist government. For Christians; these are our brothers and sisters-in-the-Lord, let’s remember to be supporting them in prayer. Just maybe we’ll see Chinese governmental leaders’ hearts be softened, not by might, nor by power, but by God’s Spirit. –Aimee Herd, BCN.

(Beijing, China)—In a historic move, clergy from dozens of mainland Chinese house churches are petitioning China’s legislature to guarantee freedom of religion and to peacefully resolve the recent church-state conflict involving one of the largest house churches in the capital, ChinaAid learned on Sunday.

This is the first such move in 60 years of Communist rule of China and represents a further emboldening of the house church movement, which for decades was active only in the countryside, meeting in small groups in private homes and careful to maintain a low profile to avoid attracting government attention to the illegal gatherings.

Middle East Intelligence Report on Israel from Dr Michael Evans

American President Obama and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu26-05-2011 – Dr. Michael Evans  – Jerusalem Prayer Team

I’ve been in Washington D.C. for the past few days to give you an inside “behind the scenes” look at what’s going on and to tell you the truth no one else will. What the media is telling you is incomplete and often completely misleading. A declaration of Palestinian statehood would not be merely a symbolic act at the UN. Israeli defense minister Ehud Barak warned his compatriots that a pro-Palestinian, diplomatic tsunami was about to crest. Presently the Palestinians have observer status at the UN, as do the Vatican and the EU. The desire to be a sovereign member is not a pipe dream.

Last year President Obama declared that he hoped the Palestinian state could be admitted to the United Nations by the time world leaders gathered in September in New York City for the annual General Assembly session. A request for membership requires a two-thirds majority to be approved. Today that would mean 128 votes from 192 member states. Presently 112 countries have recognized a sovereign Palestinian state with acceptance to come from more in the next few months provoked by Prime Minister Netanyahu’s response to President Obama’s bold declaration.

The president knows that he could push it through the Security Council, or if the U.S. abstained, it would be passed. President Obama was quite clever when he met with Mr. Netanyahu when he said, “Symbolic actions to isolate Israel at the United Nations in September won’t create an independent state.” In terms of UN membership, he is correct. Chapter two, article 4 of the UN Charter says, “The admission of any such state to membership in the United Nations will be affected by a decision of the General Assembly upon the recommendation of the Security Council.”

PM Netanyahu Addresses Congress—It Was Amazing

Israel Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu25-05-2011 – Dr. Michael Evans – Jerusalem Prayer Team

The highlight of my trip to Washington to defend Israel as your Ambassador was this morning as I watched my friend of thirty years, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, address a special joint session of Congress. It was a powerful and amazing speech, and it effectively laid out the case for America to stand with Israel in opposition to the UN plan to unilaterally declare a Palestinian state. I urge you to take the time to watch the full speech linking below. Near the beginning of his remarks, the Prime Minister said:

Israel has no better friend than America. And America has no better friend than Israel. We stand together to defend democracy. We stand together to advance peace. We stand together to fight terrorism. Congratulations America, Congratulations, Mr. President. You got bin Laden. Good riddance!

In an unstable Middle East, Israel is the one anchor of stability. In a region of shifting alliances, Israel is America’s unwavering ally. Israel has always been pro-American. Israel will always be pro-American.

WATCH PM NETANYAHU’S ADDRESS TO THE US CONGRESS

We must stand with Israel. It is the right thing to do politically, militarily, economically and most importantly—prophetically. We cannot allow the leaders of America to direct our course so that we turn our backs on the Chosen People now.

BEHIND EVERY SUCCESSFUL WIFE AND MOTHER

Proverbs 31Sunday, May 8, 2011 – By David Sanford Special to ASSIST News Service

PORTLAND, OREGON (ANS) — Behind every successful man, the saying goes, there’s a good woman. And that’s often the case. But have you ever considered that behind almost every successful wife and mother, there’s a good man?

That is the message of Proverbs 31. Only the Lord Himself knows how many articles and sermons, books and seminars have extolled the virtues of the Wonder Woman described in this poetic passage. The only problem is that they have usually forgotten to mention the other main character—the Good Husband!

Was Proverbs 31 ever intended to be an idealistic standard for women to attain by themselves? Not at all. Instead, this passage of Scripture, like the rest of Proverbs, was written originally as a challenge to men.

It’s all too easy for guys to read Proverbs 31:10-31 rather flippantly — “Wow, if only I had a wife like this!” — without stopping to notice what these verses say about this woman’s rather remarkable husband.

Surprise, Surprise! The World Didn’t End Today After All

Harold Camping\'s false prediction of End of the WorldSaturday, May 21, 2011-  By Dan Wooding – Founder of ASSIST Ministries

What will Harold Camping’s excuse be this time?

OAKLAND, CA (ANS) — For a second time in his lifetime, and with no sign of Judgment Day arriving today (Saturday, May 21, 2011) as forecasted by 89-year-old broadcaster, Harold Camping, his followers are now faced with trying to make sense of his latest failed pronouncement.

The head of an Oakland-based network that broadcasts on over 66 U.S stations and through international affiliates now has some explaining to do to the supporters who helped him post at least 2,000 billboard across America and in many other countries warning of the Day of Judgment.

Gabrielle Saveri, in a story for Reuters, said: “Harold Camping, the former civil engineer who heads the Family Radio Network of Christian stations, had been unwavering in his message that believers would be swept to heaven on May 21.”

She went on to say that in New York, retired transportation agency worker Robert Fitzpatrick was inspired by Camping’s message to spend over $140,000 of his savings on subway posters and outdoor advertisements warning of the May 21 Judgment Day.

“As he stood in Times Square in New York surrounded by onlookers, Fitzpatrick, 60, carried a Bible and handed out leaflets as he waited for Judgment Day to begin,” she continued.

“By his own reading of Bible, which was slightly different than Camping’s, Fitzgerald expected the great worldwide event to begin at 6 p.m. Eastern Time.”

She added that when the hour came and went, he said: “I do not understand why …,” as his speech broke off and he looked at his watch.

“I do not understand why nothing has happened.”

Justice Served in an American-Islamic Honor Killing

20 year-old American-Iraqi Noor Almaleki killed by her fatherPosted by Phyllis Chesler on Apr 15th, 2011 and filed under Daily Mailer, FrontPage.

Arizona Judge Roland Steinle has just sentenced Faleh Almaleki to 34½ years in prison. According to live reporting from the courtroom, the judge noted that Almaleki showed no remorse after the murder, that he did not forgive his daughter, that he did what suited his own purpose.

The judge also said this was the hardest case he had to face in his six years on the bench. He found no mitigating factors and sentenced Almaleki to 34 and 1/2 years: 15 years for the aggravated assault of Khalaf, 3 and 1/2 years for leaving the scene of an accident, and 16 years for the second-degree murder of his daughter. He was facing a maximum total of 46 years.

Thus, today we have witnessed Iraqi-American Faleh Almaleki being sentenced in Phoenix, Arizona for having honor murdered his 20-year-old daughter Noor and for having attempted to murder Amal Khalaf, the woman who was trying to protect her. In October of 2009, he followed the daughter, whom he had tormented all her life, to a shopping mall, lurked outside, then boldly ran over her precious, lovely body with a two-ton Cherokee jeep.

Cleric: Jihad coming to ‘heart of America

Anjem ChoudaryMay 02, 2011 – © 2011 WorldNetDaily

Al-Qaida revenge attacks to have ‘devastating effect’

The death of Osama bin Laden will bring a “new era of jihad,” predicted British extremist cleric Anjem Choudary.

Warning there are motivated jihadists “in the heart of America,” Choudary said al-Qaida will likely carry out revenge operations with “meticulous accuracy” and “devastating affect” comparable to that of the 9/11 attacks.

Choudary is the founder and former chief of two Islamic groups disbanded by the British authorities under anti-terror legislation.

Speaking today in an interview with “Aaron Klein Investigative Radio” of New York’s WABC Radio, Choudary said that while bin Laden was a “lion of Islam … there are many lions waiting to take his place.”

“I do believe that the death of Sheikh Osama will bring in a new era of jihad,” Choudary told Klein.

Atheist Who Went to Hell and Was Saved Gives Riveting Testimony

Former Atheist Matthew Botsford and his wifeby Teresa Neumann : May 9, 2011 : Josephine Vivaldo – The Christian Post

“Hell is a real place. Hell was never intended for us; God doesn’t want any one of us to go there. He wants all of us to come to Him through repentance. It’s a simple thing. We believe that Jesus is the son of God and we should have a relationship with Him. It’s important to spend time with Him and get to know His Word. It’s all based on relationship.”

Matthew Botsford—who, today has a ministry called “Seeds of Love”—experienced Hell first-hand during a 27-day coma after his business partner was killed and he was shot in the head.

In an interview by Josephine Vivaldo for The Christian Post, Botsford explains that he was an atheist at the time of the shooting.

Of his experience in Hell, he says: “I immediately was in my full bodily form. I looked like myself but I didn’t have any clothes on and I was hung like crucifixion style in a very deep abyss. All I could see beneath me was very red, it was very hot. I was chained on both my wrists and I had shackles on my ankles. I knew I was in some sort of cavern. It was pitch black. I knew I was going to be there forever. I knew there was nothing I can do to get myself out of it. I didn’t know the name of Jesus so I never prayed, you know ‘Jesus, please save me.'”

“There was this continual mocking,” he added, “this sense of hopelessness, and evil in all sides. There was nothing good there. It was totally void. Even in life, if we are having a bad day we kind of know that something good is around the corner. There was nothing good around the corner.”

Australia Gets It Right on Sharia Implementation – Mark Durie Blog

Spread of IslamDear family & friends in Christ,

I am sure you are well aware of the news over the last week that the Islamic Federation of Australia has requested the Federal Government to implement Islamic Sharia law in Australia. What is most interesting is the fact that this organization is supposed to be representing the voice of moderate mainstream Muslims in Australia.

Following is a very good article written by Rev Mark Durie (Anglican Minister) who was one of the expert witnesses in the court case between the Islamic Council of Victoria and CTFM from 2002 to 2007.

Rising Up Australia for God’s Righteousness,

Australia Gets It Right on Sharia Implementation – by Rev Mark Durie

Tuesday, May 17, 2011

The Australian Government is holding a national inquiry into multiculturalism.  The Australian newspaper yesterday reported that the Australian Federation of Islamic Councils has requested the introduction of Sharia law under the umbrella of multiculuralism (the AFIC submission can be downloaded here: other submissions are available here).  However, Australian Attorney-General, Robert McClelland has stated that:

“Sharia law has no place in the Australian legal system.”

“As our citizenship pledge makes clear, coming to Australia means obeying Australian laws and upholding Australian values.”

Syrian Christians threatened: join anti-government uprising or leave

12th May 2011 – Barnabas is helping Christians affected by the unrest

As demonstrations against the Syrian government intensify, Christians are coming under increasing pressure to join the uprising – or leave.

Syrian churches have received threatening letters calling them to join demonstrations

In one Christian village outside the southern city of Deraa a home came under fire by a group of masked men on motorbikes, while Muslim residents in the village of Hala have issued an ultimatum to their Christian neighbours either to join the demonstrations against President Bashar al-Assad’s regime or to leave. Their demands are making life extremely difficult for the Christians, who have closed their shops and are considering what course of action to take. Churches have also received threatening letters.

Barnabas Fund is one of the very few Christian agencies working to assist the Christians in Syria, and has done so for many years. They are in particular need of humanitarian help now, with food prices rocketing as the country’s economy is affected by the unrest.

Ex-Muslims thank CTFM for sharing the love of Jesus / Healed from Cancer

Baby Shameer, Mother, Grandmother, and others at CTFM celebrate his 1st Birthday Dear family & friends in Christ,Baby Shameer with Pastor Daniel and wife Maryse

1) We thank God for His mighty hand and Holy Spirit at work amongst His people across Australia and the Nations of the World!

The weekend gone by was absolutely glorious at CTFM in Hallam, Melbourne. Many received a mighty touch from the Lord, as they waited at the altar soaking in the presence of God in worship. Amongst the people at the altar was a young mum and her mother, who were once Muslims, but are now worshippers of the Lord Jesus Christ.

This young mum was brought to our attention about 18 months ago, when she was only 13 years of age, 3 months pregnant and not sure what she was going to do, as she did not have a father and her family was in great trouble. We were also told that they were all Muslims.

So after we prayed with the leading of the Holy Spirit the family was approached by some of our counselling team from Options + Care (Pregnancy Counselling Division of CTFM). After a few visits the young mum decided to keep the baby and gave birth to a beautiful baby boy in May 2010. Pr Daniel & sister GerSister Geraldine, Baby Shameer, Mother, Grandmother and others at CTFMaldine from O+C visited them in the hospital and dedicated the baby to the Lord Jesus Christ.

Glory to God as now the whole family are born-again Christians!

We celebrated the baby’s 1st birthday this last Sunday at church.  The grandmother shared her amazing testimony and thanked Jesus for giving them a new family at CTFM.

Palau First Foreign Evangelist to Preach Christ Openly in Vietnam since 1975

Palau Fest in Ho Chi Minh City by Aimee Herd : Apr 15, 2011 : MNN

Luis Palau, his son Andrew and their team were met at the airport by a cheering crowd of about 500 people carrying roses.

Luis Palau, his son Andrew and their ministry team have made history this month. They broke a dry spell of permission of foreign evangelists to preach the Gospel openly in Vietnam.

As the team arrived in Ho Chi Minh City on April 5th, they were welcomed by a crowd of about 500, cheering and carrying roses.

Palau was literally “walking by faith” for the festival they had put together to be held in the city, since officials still had not granted them a permit. Finally, only 3 hours before the event was scheduled to start, a permit was given—but for a different location. (more…)
