Norman and Barbara Miller:Since 1996, Pastors Norman and Barbara Miller have founded the Tabernacle of David Cairns, and the Centre for International Reconciliation and Peace, and since 2017, the Indigenous Friends of Israel International. They led Australia and the Bethany Gate for the Jerusalem House of Prayer for All Nations 2005-2012 being on the International Council of Elders and meeting with the Christian Allies Caucus to the Knesset. They have taken teams to Israel 12 times, spoken at Jewish events in Australia, and organised 15 conferences in Australia including 4 in Parliament House Canberra. They are an apostle-prophet team with a governmental anointing.
Plus we may have another special guest. For those who would like to stay on, we will continue from 5.30pm with some worship and prayer time for about 30 mins.
We would love to connect with you and help you support Israel, the only democracy in the Middle East, working against calls for its destruction and the genocide of its people. These calls are advancing at great pace since October 7. Indigenous Friends of Israel formed in July 2017 because of concerns over Australia’s policy towards Israel. Since then we have gone international as antisemitism is international and isan ancient hatred. The forces standing against Israel also oppose Western and/or Judeo-Christian values which have helped us achieve a society with social cohesion and the rule of law.
Please help us take a stand against antisemitism, and for a community where all are valued and safe. There are many opportunities to use your passion, gifting and skills as avolunteer whether you are a person of faith or not. United we stand and divided we fall. Please complete the form to volunteer.
Are you good at creating or sharing social media, fundraising, administration, film and video making, government advocacy, newsletters, speaking, representing a geographical area, organising zoom meetings or do you have other giftings or talents that you can use to bless the Lord, the Jewish people, and Israel. It doesn’t matter where you live in the world, you can get involved. Check it out here.

PRESS RELEASE INDIGENOUS FRIENDS OF ISRAEL RE JOSH FRYDENBERG PROGRAM 30.5.24
Indigenous Friends of Israel co-founders Norman and Barbara Miller have applauded Tuesday night’s Sky News documentary Never Again: The Fight Against Antisemitism hosted by former federal treasurer Josh Frydenberg. The Millers say, “The Never Again documentary was a defining moment for Australia when a number of prominent Australian leaders called out the alarming rise of antisemitism in Australia.”
“These included former Prime Ministers John Howard and Julia Gillard, the current Prime Minister Anthony Albanese and Opposition Leader, Peter Dutton, a former Governor-General, Sir Peter Cosgrove, Denis Richardson, the former Director-General of Security for Australia, Catholic Archbishop Peter Comensoli and former Aboriginal ALP senator and Olympian Nova Peris.
“What is happening on our streets and in our universities with pro-Hamas protests is unAustralian and we need social cohesion, not division. We don’t want ethnic or religious conflicts from overseas threatening the multicultural fabric of our nation.
“As a network of Indigenous Australians, we support the view that the Jewish people are Indigenous to Israel, having had a presence of 4,000 years there and that the rebirth of the state of Israel in 1948 was a matter of decolonization not occupation. Arab Israelis interviewed on the NeverAgain documentary attested to Israel not being an apartheid state. READ MORE

Reconciliation Week 27 May – June 3
Reconciliation Australia website admits that this came from a Christian initiative:
‘National Reconciliation Week (NRW) started as the Week of Prayer for Reconciliation in 1993 (the International Year of the World’s Indigenous Peoples) and was supported by Australia’s major faith communities.
In 1996, the Council for Aboriginal Reconciliation launched Australia’s first National Reconciliation Week. (Norman and Barbara attended the National Reconciliation Convention in Melbourne.)
In 2001, Reconciliation Australia was established to continue to provide national leadership on reconciliation.
In the same year, approximately 300,000 people walked across Sydney Harbour Bridge as part of National Reconciliation Week and subsequently across bridges in cities and towns to show their support for reconciliation.
Today, National Reconciliation Week is celebrated in workplaces, schools, and early learning services, community organisations and groups, and by individuals Australia-wide.”
26 May – National Sorry Day, officially the National Day of Healing, is an event held annually commemorating the Stolen Generations or children removed from their families 27 May – The successful 1967 referendum giving Indigenous people the right to be counted in the census and the federal government to make legislation for them. 3 June – anniversary of the 1992 High Court Mabo decision that recognized native title.

Israel’s Independence Day Interview by Vision of Ps Norman & Barbara Miller re Australia’s Vote at UN
On the eve of the 76th anniversary of the proclamation of the state of Israel on 14 May 1948, Australia has betrayed the only democracy in the Middle East at the recent United Nations vote on Palestine.
On Israel’s Day of Independence or National Day, it will be asking if it has any allies in the world. Prime Minister Netanyahu has said he will go it alone if he has to so that more October 7s, promised by Hamas, will not occur and Israel can survive as a nation as it faces the existential threat from Iran and its proxies.

VISION OF A RUDDER-LIKE EVENT TO TURN THE SHIP OF OUR NATION AROUND
By Barbara Miller
While praying for Australia before our church service on Saturday 27/4/24, I remembered a word the Lord had given me for an Australia Day prayer conference we held in Canberra before Covid. In it, I had a vision of a rudder that could turn around the ship of our nation back to Judeo-Christian values. A rudder is small but it can turn a big ship around. So I asked the Lord, what is the rudder we need now to turn our nation around and I was surprised to be guided in prayer that the rudder is the alleged stabbing of the Assyrian Bishop recently by a boy charged with terrorism who had shouted allahu akbar as he did it with the bishop forgiving him
On reflection, two changes occurred. One was that police and ASIO who had not acted when Jews were assaulted by Muslims, when Islamic hate preachers preached death to Jews and street protestors shouted kill the Jews etc, acted quickly this time. They found a terror network of teenagers, arresting them on the eve of Anzac Day to avert a terror attack. This may have been because a Christian Arab was attacked rather than a Jew and/or the crowds that would be out for Anzac Day. With about 2,000 rioters gathering outside the church after the livestreamed alleged stabbing, police were injured and police cars damaged because police protected the perpetrator. They were likely concerned re Arab on Arab violence.
Secondly this bishop, Mar Mari Emmanuel, already reportedly had 120,000 followers before the alleged attempted murder but now his profile is greatly increased and he is someone who is not frightened to stand up for biblical values and challenge Islam. He has visited Gaza in the past and may be critical of Israel. However, I will be praying the Lord uses him to speak fearlessly for Judeo-Christian values.
In my prayer, I also saw a stone being dropped in a pool and the ripples going out from it and felt it was healing waves so I pray that the Lord will heal our nation from the division and lack of social cohesion that has beset it and bring revival.
However, we have another development this morning in that messages on signal indicate that, a few days after the alleged stabbing of the bishop, the teens said that their next target would be Jews. This has obviously alarmed the Jewish community along with anti-Israel camps being set up at Sydney and Melbourne universities and 5-year-olds being taught by their teacher to chant “intifada” and “from the river to the sea, Palestine will be free”, a genocidal call to wipe Israel and Jewish people off the map. The call to prayer is urgent so that God would turn our nation around to be a sheep nation not a goat nation (Matt 25).

SURAFEND, ANZAC DAY AND PRO PALESTINIAN TEACHERS 24.4.24
“While Surafend is a little-known part of our ANZAC history, I went there twice in 2010 and 2017, met locals and researched the history,” said author, historian and pastor Barbara Miller. “For the pro-Palestinian lobby of Australian teachers to denigrate the ANZAC legacy by rewriting it emphasizing Surafend, tying it erroneously to the Israel-Gaza war and belittling the sacrifice of so many Australian soldiers and their families on the eve of ANZAC Day is disgusting.”
Co-founder of the Centre for International Reconciliation and Peace with her husband Pastor Norman Miller, Ms Miller said, “The Victorian Teachers and School Staff for Palestine (TSSP) have produced their own material with which to indoctrinate our children with their anti-Israel, anti-Australian agenda. They should at least get their facts right.
“Their 40-page booklet titled Teaching for Palestine: Challenging Anzac Day will ignore teaching resources from the Australian War Memorial though it is aligned with the national curriculum. The teachers are reportedly concerned with imperialistic and militaristic views.
“What happened at Surafend? The war was over and the ANZACs were camped near the Bedouin village of Surfend on 10 December 1918. The troops were tired of the British protecting the Arabs who had a long record of thieving and other harassment. SEE MORE

This is the story that goes with it: We Stand Up For Israel: Indigenous Friends of Israel
by Munganbana Norman Miller
The star of David is the centre of this painting just as Jerusalem is the centre of the world (Ezekiel 5:5). The star of David is also on Israel’s flag. It is surrounded by yellow ochre representing G-d’s glory and His calling for the Jewish people to be a light to the nations. The Magen David is encircled by blue and white dots representing Israel.
The dots that continue to circle it reflect the yellow and red ochres of the earth and of the sun. They also represent sunrises and sunsets. This speaks of the heavens touching the earth. The purple dots represent royalty as Jerusalem will be Messiah’s throne. The stars in the sky represent the stars of the southern cross over Australia and in its flag.
The dots also represent the Indigenous Friends of Israel as the Indigenous people of the earth surround, protect, and support her.
The dove of peace, also representing the spirit of G-d, alights over the star of David. As Psalm 85:10-11 (NLT) says:
Unfailing love and truth have met together;
righteousness and peace have kissed.
Truth springs up from the earth,
and righteousness smiles down from heaven.
May Australia shine like the stars in heaven to reflect God’s glory and His love for Israel (Daniel 12:3)
Never Again is Now. We stand against antisemitism. And never again will Israel be uprooted from the land G-d has given them. (Amos 9:11-15)
HAPPY RESURRECTION SUNDAY!
THE LORD REIGNS!
LET THE PEOPLE REJOICE!
Purim Reversal to Hamas and the Amalek Spirit
by Ps Barbara Miller 23.3.24
Israel today is fighting a war for its survival just like Jewish people were threatened with annihilation during the time of Esther which we now commemorate at the Feast of Purim. Three times in history the Jewish people have been threatened with or experienced annihilation or genocide with forces starting with H (1) Haman (2) Hitler and (3) Hamas which means violence.
The Amalek spirit is behind it. Today we hear “From the River to the Sea, Palestine will be free” which does not refer to Gaza but refers to the whole of Israel, the land God promised to the descendants of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob or Israel. It goes back to the ancient hatred and sibling rivalry of Esau towards his twin Jacob.
God pronounced judgement on the Amalekites because they attacked the weakest of the Hebrews as they crossed over from Egypt to the Promised Land. They attacked from behind the sick, elderly etc. (sounds like Oct 7)
The story of the bible book of Esther is how Haman tricked the king into signing a decree to kill all the Jews in the kingdom of Persia which was most of the known world at that time.
But God was about to do a divine reversal of Haman’s plans. It is said that if King Saul had killed King Agag when instructed to, the Amalekites would not have produced Haman with his genocidal plan against the Jews. Though Samuel killed him one day later, he was able to have a descendant.
Mordecai, a Jew, and his niece Esther were raised up by God in His plan of saving the Jews from extermination. Amazingly, Mordecai was a descendant of Kish, the Benjamite who was the father of King Saul. Prophetic justice was served.
This gives us another interesting parallel. Every year, the chapter, “Remember what Amalek did unto thee” (Deut. 25:17-19), is read in the synagogue on the Sabbath preceding Purim, and the story of Saul and Agag in 1 Samuel 15 is read as the Haftarah or reading from the prophets.
I see parallels with Netanyahu being urged not to fight in Rafah to finish off Hamas because of the great loss of civilian life & the humanitarian crisis. While Hamas must bear responsibility for using civilians as human shields, using hospitals and schools, and stealing food and aid money and the numbers are inflated, Israel is losing the support of its main ally the US.
Saul did not want to destroy the King of the Amalekites and somehow his progeny lived on to almost be successful in totally wiping out the Jews worldwide in the time of Esther. Netanyahu is saying that Israel cannot live in security because,unless they defeat Hamas, Hamas has promised many more Oct 7’s.
I believe God is declaring a divine reversal in this time of favour for His people. We know that the hatred of Jews is because they were chosen by God to bring his plan of redemption to mankind who are rebellious to God and are jealous of His chosen people.
Listen to the video to get more. Have you been called into your situation for such a time as this like Esther? Do you need to write a decree to reverse an evil decree? (Esther 8:8). Remember that prayer and fasting brought a breakthrough.

We thank you for your condolences and prayers for our beautiful son Michael Miller who unexpectedly passed away on 27 Jan while we were commemorating International Holocaust Remembrance Day. He went to Israel with us in 2006, was baptised in the Jordan river, and loved Israel with a passion. We are grateful that the Never Again is Now team in Sydney has planted trees in his name in Israel. We thank the many people in Australia and Israel who have reached out to us including Rabbi Riesenberg and the Southern Cross Alliance for Israel, Lena Goldstein’s family, and many more. We felt the comfort of your prayers and we know Michael is with the Lord which is the greatest comfort of all. His service was live streamed and can be found here
He loved fishing and we are grateful that Awesome Anglers are going to make a fishing shirt in his memory with a mangrove jack and an Aboriginal design on it. His mates and cousins will arrange fishing trips in memory of him as well. May his life be used as a fisher of men for the Lord’s glory.

Prayer Pioneers Thanksgiving Dinner
We are blessed to attend a Prayer Pioneers Thanksgiving Dinner in Sydney on 17 Feb hosted by the Canberra Declaration to honour the following prayer pioneers:
Barbara Bell – Intercessors for Australia 1973 – 1994
Jenny & Brian Hagger – Australian House of Prayer
Ps Tim & Di Edwards – Prayer Leader & Indigenous Elder
Ps Peter & Maria Walker – Prayer Leader & Indigenous Elder

Matthew & Kathryn Bolte – Fellow Leader in the Australian Prayer Network
Ken & Yvonne Kilah – Fellow Leader in the Australian Prayer Network
Brian & Robyn Pickering – Leaders & Coordinators of prayer in the nation 1984 – 2024.
This event was occasioned by the retirement of Brian and Robyn Pickering from 40 years’ service to the Australian Prayer Network (APN). We would also like to honour Pastor Noel and Dianne Mann who worked with them for many years, Noel having gone on to be with the Lord some years ago as has Noel Bell of Intercessors for Australia.
Norman and Barbara have been blessed to join prayer teams led by Brian, Robyn and Ben in England, Guatemala, Ephesus and Uluru. Brian was a speaker at our Reconciliation Conference in Cairns in 1998 when we hosted the British on their prayer tour of Australia and Brian spoke at our Ship Shaping History into Place 24/7 conference at the Sydney Opera House in 2006. We stayed with Brian and Robyn when the Lord led us to come from Cairns to Sydney to pray on the Sydney Harbour Bridge after the rainbow serpent had been flashed over it in fireworks on New Year’s Eve in 2000. We also joined the Sydney Belongs to Jesus event the APN organised. We worked with Brian, Robyn and Ben when their ministry was called Spirit Alive before it became APN. We were happy to introduce the city transformation movement to pastors in Cairns, inviting Brian to come and speak.
We were blessed to attend the Out There conferences in Brisbane hosted by Ben in 2000 and 2001 and to have worked with Jenny Haggar over the years as well. We were blessed to take Peter and Maria Walker on a tour of Israel and have them speak at conferences we hosted at Uluru and Canberra. Thanks also to Brian Pickering for speaking at a Redigging the Wells and Transformation conference we organised in Cairns in 2003 and for the wonderful ministry of Tim and Di Edwards.
We bless all these mighty men and women of valour.

Australia Day: Celebrate or Abolish? Pride or Shame?
Barbara Miller 26 Jan 24, Published 29 JANUARY 2024
Do First Nations people celebrate Australia Day? Yes! The vibrancy and resilience of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander cultures is celebrated by thousands each January 26 at Victoria Park, Sydney with market stalls, sports, and bands. Called the Yabun Festival, it has been going since 2003, with this year’s theme being “Surviving, Guiding, Thriving.” Norman and I have attended it and its friendly atmosphere many times.
Melbourne has a Share the Spirit event billed as “Coming together to heal with peace and love”, presented by Songlines Aboriginal Music. It is Victoria’s largest and longest-running Indigenous festival, with performances of song and dance at the Sidney Myer Music Bowl.
However, most capital cities also have protests led by First Nations people who call it Invasion Day, Survival Day, or Day of Mourning. Aboriginal protestors like Senator Lidia Thorpe, a leader of the Blak Sovereignty movement, declared at an Invasion Day rally in 2023 that there is a war going on that was declared on her people 200 years ago. Similar claims were made on Friday.
CANVAS PAINTING TO BE BACKDROP FOR NEVER AGAIN IS NOW EVENT SYDNEY FEB 18
Story below We Stand Up For Israel: Indigenous Friends of Israel by Munganbana Norman Miller
The star of David is the centre of this painting just as Jerusalem is the centre of the world (Ezekiel 5:5). The star of David is also on Israel’s flag. It is surrounded by yellow ochre representing G-d’s glory and His calling for the Jewish people to be a light to the nations. The Magen David is encircled by blue and white dots representing Israel.
The dots that continue to circle it reflect the yellow and red ochres of the earth and of the sun. They also represent sunrises and sunsets. This speaks of the heavens touching the earth. The purple dots represent royalty as Jerusalem will be Messiah’s throne. The stars in the sky represent the stars of the southern cross over Australia and in its flag.
The dots also represent the Indigenous Friends of Israel as the Indigenous people of the earth surround, protect, and support her.
The dove of peace, also representing the spirit of G-d, alights over the star of David. As Psalm 85:10-11 (NLT) says: Unfailing love and truth have met together; righteousness and peace have kissed. Truth springs up from the earth, and righteousness smiles down from heaven.
May Australia shine like the stars in heaven to reflect God’s glory and His love for Israel (Daniel 12:3)
Never Again is Now. We stand against antisemitism. And never again will Israel be uprooted from the land G-d has given them. (Amos 9:11-15)
ISRAEL HUMANITARIAN APPEAL By Centre for International Reconciliation and Peace
Help Israel recover from Oct 7 bloodbath and its aftermath by donating to ministries run by Ps Avi and Chaya Mizrachi of Dugit Ministries Tel Aviv (left) and Ps Howard and Randi Bass of Yeshua’s Inheritance Congregation Beer Sheva.
There are thousands of Jewish people displaced by the terror that occurred on Oct 7 with their homes and communities destroyed. Some of those affected were Holocaust survivors. Many just left with the clothes on their backs and are in need of help. Lives have been turned upside down. It is not safe yet to return and rebuild and probably won’t be for a long time.
For any donation from Australians over $70 AUD, you can receive a copy of Ps Munganbana Norman Miller’s painting of From Mourning into Dancing based on Psalm 30 and Ps Barbara Miller’s book William Cooper, Gentle Warrior: Standing Up for Australian Aborigines and Persecuted Jews. The flier above done for us by our friend Tim Jack, shows you how to donate
Thanks to those who have donated already. Funds have been transferred and we have posted out the books and prints promised to those who donated $70 or more. God bless you!!!
Who will listen to what you say? The share of the man who stayed with the supplies is to be the same as that of him who went down to the battle. All will share alike.” 1 Samuel 30:24
