This is just a quick newsletter to let you know about the next zoom seminar for Indigenous Friends of Israel International. We have loads to share re ministry but will do so soon. May the Lord bless you!
Etienne has a biography written about his amazing life by Mordechai Nisan “The Conscience of Lebanon.” Mordechai is an Israeli professor and scholar of Middle East Studies at the Rothberg International School of the Hebrew University of Jerusalem. Etienne will hopefully join us live but if not by pre-recorded interview with a family member of his to do the Q and A. He is very much in demand at the moment with the crisis in Lebanon.
Etienne’s daughter is a famous singer and we will open with a song of hers – the Lord’s prayer – in Aramaic, the language of Jesus. So spread the word!
EDUCATION CAMPAIGN AGAINST ANTISEMITISM & DISINFORMATION ABOUT ISRAEL
USING GOFUNDME TO MAKE IT MORE PROFESSIONAL AND SUSTAINED
CAMPAIGN OVERVIEW – COMPASSION AND EDUCATION In a world where misinformation and prejudice often overshadow truth, it’s crucial to elevate voices that stand for justice, compassion, and education. The Indigenous Friends of Israel International is dedicated to fostering understanding, combating disinformation, and supporting the Jewish community both locally and internationally.
Please see the website to find out more information and see the video below to be inspired. We need your help. CLICK HERE
Please get involved! We need your help!
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 a volunteer 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.

THE MOST AMAZING VIDEOS ON ISRAEL, PRAYER, WORSHIP, THE APOSTOLIC AND PROPHETIC AND MUCH MORE – AT YOUR FINGERTIPS!!! BE BLESSED!!!
Shanah Tovah! We are entering Rosh HaShannah or Yom Teruah so Happy New Year and may your name be inscribe in the Lamb’s book of life and it is if you have given your heart to Jesus. Our hearts go out to Jewish people in Israel and worldwide who have been through such a difficult year but we know that God is in control and Israel is not only protected well by the IDF but also by God’s heavenly army of angels.
PROPHETIC SIGNIFICANCE See the video below for more on the prophetic significance of this feast. It begins the new year 5785. 5 stands for grace, 7 for completion and 8 for new beginnings so we have a time of double grace, completion of one season and the beginning of a new season.
ISRAEL AND MIDDLE EAST CONFLICT By Ps Barbara Miller
Australia and other nations keep criticizing Israel, calling for a ceasefire, putting pressure on Israel and not putting pressure on Iran, Hamas and Hezbollah to do so. This is similar to the appeasement we have seen Neville Chamberlain do re Hitler and we know the result was that Hitler was emboldened to murder 6 million Jews. We are very concerned that this puts Australia with the nations that are cursed rather than blessed (Genesis 12:1-3) and bringing judgement on us (Mat 25, sheep and goat nations).
Through history we have had Herod, Haman, Hitler, Hamas and Hezbollah – all starting with H and seeking to eliminate Israel. Hamas means violence in Hebrew and is in the Bible. We are entering the year 5785 on the Hebrew calendar and the word “hey” is a key word for this coming year. Interestingly, it is in the name of God – YHWH. Hey means behold or look, divine breath, (the Holy Spirit), revelation and light. No matter what the enemies of YHWH do, YHWH’s people will prevail in His strength.
I have spoken in the past that we are seeing the nations in Psalm 83 aligned against Israel in this present conflict and the nations that will come against Israel in the Ezekiel 38-39 war are already in place, aligned and working against Israel though this is not expected to reach fulfilment till half way through the tribulation. SEE PSALM 83 MESSAGE.
I sense that we have a situation now that is similar to the time of Purim when Esther and Mordecai exposed the plan by Haman for genocide of the whole of the Jewish people in the Persian empire which was worldwide. Today Persia is called Iran and we have the same spirit operating that Daniel spoke of – the demonic Prince of Persia who was fighting in the heavenlies to prevent the answer to Daniel’s prayer so the messenger angel was helped in the fight by the godly Prince of Israel, archangel Michael. (Daniel 10:12-14, 20-21)
When Haman tricked King Xerxes of Persia into writing a decree to kill all the Jews on a certain day, the King’s decree could not be reversed but the King told Esther to write another decree that reversed the effect of the first decree. This decree was that the Jews could rise up and defend themselves on that day appointed for them to be attacked. They not only defended themselves but got rid of a lot of their enemies and a fear of the Jews came on the land. I sense that this is what is happening now. Israel needs not only to defend itself from terrorists but continue long enough to prevent a repeat of the October 7 massacre. (Esther 9:1,5,16) I sense we are in a time of repeating when the Jews of the Persian empire (which was 127 provinces extending from India to Ethiopia) got rid of their enemies. They didn’t start it but they finished it. At least for a time as there are more attacks on Israel to come.
I also sense that this scripture is relevant 2 Ki 13:15-19 where Elisha told the King of Israel to strike the ground and he stopped after 3 times with Elisha saying he would only have victory 3 times and not completely destroy the army coming against them because he should have struck it 5 or 6 times. Israel today needs to finish its job of protecting its citizens, not stop half way. Hamas has vowed to do Oct 7 over and over again. Hezbollah was planning an Oct 7 attack in a few days which Israel has now likely thwarted. Make no mistake – Israel is only being attacked because it is part of God’s plan for the redemption of the whole of humanity and satan does not want that. So we need to step up our prayers and stand with Israel so Messiah can come back and reign from Jerusalem, his throne.
“Open the east window,” he said, and he opened it. “Shoot!” Elisha said, and he shot. “The LORD’s arrow of victory, the arrow of victory over Aram!” Elisha declared. “You will completely destroy the Arameans at Aphek.”
18Then he said, “Take the arrows,” and the king took them. Elisha told him, “Strike the ground.” He struck it three times and stopped.
19The man of God was angry with him and said, “You should have struck the ground five or six times; then you would have defeated Aram and completely destroyed it. But now you will defeat it only three times.”

PUBLIC RELATIONS CAMPAIGN AGAINST ANTISEMITISM AND ANTI-ISRAEL BIAS
Our Public Relations Campaign is underway though the Gofundme campaign to support it is very slow to gain momentum. We don’t have any paid staff and have limited funds. Please help spread the word about it, donate yourself no matter how small, and volunteer. We are pleased an experienced curriculum writer is looking at the Queensland schools curriculum for us to see where we can get an inroad and will help us prepare materials.
Barbara has already written a training manual for adults and upper secondary with activities. We have met with the Executive Council of Australian Jewry which is a peak body for Australian Jews and they have asked to partner with us which is great.
We are continuing with our monthly zoom seminar series and daily social media reaching out worldwide to counter lies re current events and history.
Adam Kreuzer who is Education Officer for the Australian Jewish Association is writing regular articles for our website and we have been working for a couple of years with Eli Rabinowitz of the WE ARE HERE Foundation in Perth as he is an educator.
The Australian Jewish News wrote an article about our project last week SEE HERE

Worshipping Pastor Norman Miller at Cairns Festival Parade 24.8.24
The floats were lined up ready to leave and parade down the Cairns Esplanade. Ps Norman’s float was Munganbana StyleUp Fashions as he is also an Aboriginal artist with his own art gallery. As we travelled along the parade route, he sang songs like Rivers of Babylon and Stand By Me. Our family and friends were on the float wearing his signature Aboriginal designed tshirts.
Norman urged children, boys and girls to stand by their mothers and fathers, mothers and fathers to stand by their children, husbands and wives to stand by each other, children to stand by their grandmothers and grandfathers etc with a microphone. This was a purposeful challenge to gender fluidity ideology. We had children on the float who high fived the children as we slowly passed by on a large decorated truck. Thousands had gathered and it was a joyful event for many who had had a difficult year.
We had our church service that morning before the parade preparations and Monica had a prophetic word after the extended worship. We regularly have prophetic words but don’t have someone to transcribe them anymore. But this was relevant to the parade so we will share it. She said the Lord showed her that His sound would come out of Ps Norman’s mouth and it would go into the ground and touch those standing on the ground with His Spirit. She then saw shoots of new life rising up from the ground. Barbara and Colleen were reminded of the scripture about the mustard seed growing into a tall tree.
Matthew 13:31-21 “He told them another parable: the kingdom of heaven is like a mustard seed, which a man took and planted in his field. Though it is the smallest of all seeds, yet when it grows, it is the largest of garden plants and becomes a tree, so that the birds come and perch in its branches.”
The children enjoyed Norman telling them that he found Nemo (the large clownfish pictured) in Lake St (that’s where his art gallery is) and he brought Nemo to the Esplanade. You may have seen the popular children’s movie “Finding Nemo.” If you want to look at Norman’s gallery CLICK HERE or tshirts, furnishings, coffee mugs etc CLICK HERE.

An Evening with Lilian Schmid – new Book “For His Glory”
Aug 19, 2024 08:00 PM Sydney Time ON ZOOM
An Interview not to be missed.
-What an encouraging contribution to the ministry of prayer. The book ‘For His Glory’ by Lilian is a very personal and relevant discussion on not only the need for constant prayer but also the need for biblical forgiveness, suffering and healing. This is not just any ordinary book but rather it is a daily reminder of the need for all of us to live out 1 Peter 3:15 and so to be ready to ‘give an answer’ for the hope that we have in our Lord Jesus Christ.
Lilian has managed to bring together the essential requirements for Christians, and indeed non-Christinas, who wish to live out a biblical worldview. This book is by my bedside table constantly.
TO ATTEND THIS WEBINAR ON ZOOM PLEASE CONTACT GREG BONDAR
Below are some comments from the Reviewers (full texts are inside the book): “For His Glory… will challenge you to life solely and fully for Christ” – Mark Bilton, Independent Chair, Strategist and Leaders Advocate.
“It gives me great pleasure to commend For His Glory as Lilian’s testimony and as significant fruit of her calling” – Rev. Peter Robinson, former CEO of Generate Ministries.
“A tour through God’s orchestra where we get to stop and wonder at each part as they contribute to this symphony For His Glory” – Dr. Jim Twelves, Christian Educator.
“Personal, biblical, and very inspirational” – Marina Maria, Founder, Global Gospel Worship Radio.
“Full of golden nuggets from a tried and tested international prayer leader” – Ps. Barbara Miller, author, co-founder of the Centre for International Reconciliation and Peace.
“Will make you jump from one revelation to another” – Olivier Fleury, founder of JC2033, Lausanne, Switzerland.
“I see many of the solutions to problems that I have had to face” – Rev. Dr Jeffry David Camm
“Lilian has managed to bring together the essential requirements for Christians” – Greg Bondar, Managing Director – Australia & New Zealand, Every Home for Christ.
These books are also listed on the website at https://prayerstrategy.org/books Both books are available as paperback books and Kindle eBooks.

AUGUST 19 INDIGENOUS FRIENDS OF ISRAEL INTERNATIONAL ZOOM SEMINAR 7PM AEST
Speakers from left, Dr Sheree Trotter from NZ is Māori (Te Arawa). She earned her PhD in history from the University of Auckland (Thesis: Zionism in New Zealand to 1948). In 2012 she co-founded the Holocaust and Antisemitism Foundation for whom she has interviewed seventy Holocaust survivors. Sheree completed an Institute for the Study of Global Antisemitism and Policy scholars-in-residence course at University of Oxford in 2023. She is the co-Director of the Indigenous Coalition for Israel and the Indigenous Embassy Jerusalem.
On the right is Dalia Ayalon Sinclair from Israel with her painting in a recent exhibition there. Her art is influenced by losing family in the Holocaust. She spends part of each year in Australia and organises a yearly conference to commemorate UN Resolution 181 passed in 1947 to divide the British mandate into 2 states one Jewish and one Arab. Norman and Barbara were privileged to speak at that event at the Central Synagogue last year. Dalia is a former SBS journalist who coordinated the Hebrew language program and reported positively on the Christian group Celebration Shalom as part of this.
Kelvin Crombie has just confirmed and is well known to most of you and has an exciting story to tell which will be included in our next newsletter. Photos below are of Kelvin with Norman and Barbara Miller in Cairns and Norman and Barbara in front of teepees at the Sacred Assembly gathering of First Nations people at Sagkeeng Manitoba Canada in 1997 at which they had an opportunity to share.
PRESS RELEASE INDIGENOUS FRIENDS OF ISRAEL INTERNATIONAL 18.7.24 – CALL FOR LIDIA THORPE TO RESIGN
“Poster girl for Hamas, Senator Lidia Thorpe, should resign. Her latest radical chic is a green Hamas-style headband in Arabic drawing attention to her ill-conceived support of their cause,” says Indigenous Friends of Israel International co-founders Norman and Barbara Miller.
“Outrage over her selfie wearing the headband on X led to her removing it yesterday less than 24 hours after posting it. Many complained about her ‘dressing up’ as a terrorist and that it was offensive and divisive, so she apologized saying she was pushing for a ceasefire.
Strangely, the Arabic script on her headband read ‘I love chocolate milk’ with the caption on her post ‘I wholeheartedly support this message. I hope you do too.’
Thorpe is pushing a narrative that the Jewish people are colonizers and occupiers of Israel ignoring the fact that it is their ancient homeland, and they are Indigenous to Israel with a 4,000 year history there.
Many nations invaded and colonized the land of the Jews over thousands of years. Assyrians, Babylonians, Egyptians, Greeks, Byzantines, Arabs, Crusaders, Mamelukes, Ottomans, and Britain to name some of them but there was always a Jewish presence in the land.
When Israel reformed as a modern nation in 1948, it was decolonizing the land which had been a British mandate under the League of Nations which became the United Nations. Australia presided over the vote admitting Israel to the United Nations in 1949.
Hamas is not pushing for a Palestinian state that would include Gaza and the West Bank (Judea and Samaria). It wants the whole of Israel as its maps show and it wants the destruction and removal of the only Jewish state in the world. It also wants the removal of all Jews from the Jewish homeland. This is genocidal and is in the Hamas charter.
About 800,000 Jews were traumatically made refugees from Arab lands in the Middle East in 1948 losing their homes, businesses, jobs, nationalities etc. So, it was not just the Jews of Europe who survived the Holocaust who made Israel home.
Thorpe’s misguided attempt to align the Blak Sovereign Movement with the Palestinian cause is flawed. The Palestinian people are not Indigenous to Israel.
The Jews have never invaded any land in all of history. They simply returned home, joining those who had never left.
Senator Thorpe spoke on Monday at a ‘free Palestine’ rally in Melbourne asserting that the violence in Gaza was like the attempted genocide of Indigenous Australians by European settlers.
There is no comparison here. Yes, Australia was colonized by British settlers and yes there was loss of life despite instructions otherwise by the British crown. Israel instead is defending itself against an invasion and massacre by Hamas on October 7 and trying to ensure that Hamas cannot keep its promise to keep repeating October 7. Also, the captives taken by Hamas in a war crime need to be freed.
It seems dressing up to make a point has form with Lidia Thorpe who arrived in a pro-Palestine dress at the mid-winter parliamentary ball earlier this month with the genocidal phrase ‘from the river to the sea’ embroidered down the front.
A blood-stained look at the bottom of her dress completed the picture. It is time for Senator Thorpe to resign. This was not the platform she was voted in on, having resigned from the Greens last year, supposedly a representative on environmental issues.
’Not my senator,’ many Indigenous and other Australians are saying about Senator Lidia Thorpe.”
Please get involved! We need your help!

Please get involved! We need your help!
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 a volunteer 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.
