INDIGENOUS FRIENDS OF ISRAEL & TABERNACLE OF DAVID CAIRNS CONFERENCE
We were very blessed to have Ps Avi and Chaya Mizrachi and their family – daughter Devora, 2 grandchildren and nephew Eden and niece Linoy for our Indigenous Friends of Israel and Tabernacle of David Cairns conference 18-20 August. They came from ministering in the Solomon Islands. It was a very anointed conference and we were all so blessed. This was just 2 weeks after Ps Norman and Barbara had hosted a Church and Cultural Challenges conference in Canberra.
We were also blessed to have David and Carol Jack come from Melbourne and for David to video both conferences. He is still working on these but in the meantime, we have a few not-so-professional videos of the Cairns conference for you to look at on YouTube. We started with a Shabbat meal and ended with an amazing prophetic act of the tribes aligning themselves with the tribe of Judah and Israel. These are not available as yet.
This photo was sent to Barbara by an Egyptian intercessor concerned at the Australian government’s decision to use Hamas terminology that the West Bank (which includes East Jerusalem) and Gaza are “occupied territories” rather than Australia’s previous position that they were “disputed territories.” Hamas, a terrorist organisation, is hailing this decision. It is also inaccurate in that Israel pulled out of Gaza many years ago. This decision was made a few days prior to the National ALP conference in exchange for the Socialist Left’s support of the AUKUS defence agreement.
We believe the timing of our conference was strategic in that it was the same timing as the National ALP Conference in Brisbane. Barbara spoke about this in her message (available in the next newsletter) and made a decree of reversal of their policy. See our press release of 10 August here –https://indigenousfriendsofisrael.org/indigenous-friends-of-israel-australia-press-release-10-8-23/
The Southern Cross Alliance for Israel (SCAFI) also put a press release out on 15 August signed off by John Lockwood and 30 mostly Christian organisations with some Jewish. David Jack did the leg work on it to get agreement on the wording. Our Centre for International Reconciliation and Peace and Indigenous Friends of Israel are 2 of the signatories.
The ALP has long had a position to recognize Palestine as a state though it doesn’t meet the requirements internationally recognized for a state. There was a push at this conference to recognize Palestine as a state immediately. However, after some debate, it was decided that the status quo would remain.
Indigenous Friends of Israel had a meeting after the conference of state and city coordinators so we are stretching the tent pegs as in Isaiah 54 so if you are interested, please let us know. Non-Indigenous people can be associate members as we believe in reconciliation. Email us here: https://indigenousfriendsofisrael.org/contact-us/

Ps Chaya Mizrachi shares on what it’s like to live in Israel
Comment – This is not just good information but sharing from the heart
Many gifts were exchanged. This is a 2m x 2m canvas painting that Norman, who paints under his Aboriginal name of Munganbana (Mountain Water) gave to Ps Avi and Chaya Mizrachi. This painting has the names of Norman’s tribes on it – Jirrbal, Bar-barrum and Wadjanbarra Yidinji
This is a specially made drum/tambourine that was given by the Mizrachis to the Millers. We will get more information for you and a closer-up photo in another newsletter.
Devora Mizrachi on growing up in Israel and her time in the army
So many people to thank – all those who attended, all those who prayed, those who contributed finances. Most of all we thank the Lord because without Him it would be impossible. Thanks to our Israeli speakers and to Ps Norman and Barbara Miller who spoke. Thanks to Mum Ps Shirley Miller and our TOD prayer team. Thanks also to Deborah Miller, Colleen Burfitt, and Lilian Miller for catering. We overflowed with food all weekend. Thanks to Judy Miller on registrations, Carol Jack on the book table, Deborah on the overhead projector and Thomas Miller & Colleen Burfitt on the amazing praise and worship with Israeli songs. Thanks for Devora, Eden and Linoy Mizrachi for leading Israeli dancing. Again, thanks to David Jack on video.
