You are in for a very interesting session with arts and media expert David Jack (above) who is one of the speakers for the Church & Cultural Challenges Conference in Canberra. He has given us a taste of what he will share in the following.
The Truth will set you free by David Jack
“In the Post Modernist age where do we find our Saviour? In Jesus or the World?
In media the power of film and TV can be a great thing but it can also beguile and deceive. So much portrayed through media the arts is set up against the church.
Those active agents fighting this influence are few but tenacious, we will explore and discuss them. What can one person do? If we are to be a light unto the nations it starts with each of us in our daily walk to reflect the characteristics of Jesus.”
Glen Sebasio on guitar and Ps Norman Miller leading worship at Lifestream church Canberra for an Australia Day prayer conference in 2019 that we hosted. In 2020, we hosted an Australia Day conference at Grace church Canberra. We have also led a Tabernacle of David workshop at Lifestream in 2018.
Norman believes the worship at the Church & Cultural Challenges conference will bring such a presence of God that people won’t want to go home afterwards but will want to stay in the presence.
He has Acts 16:25-26 on his heart:
And at midnight Paul and Silas prayed, and sang praises unto God: and the prisoners heard them. And suddenly there was a great earthquake, so that the foundations of the prison were shaken: and immediately all the doors were opened, and every one’s bands were loosed.
Be prepared for an earthquake that will set the prisoners free. When the jailer woke up, he was going to commit suicide as he thought the prisoners had fled, but Paul led him and his family to the Lord instead. Be prepared for an awakening where people wake up from the world’s woke agenda and we have a revival!
Norman and Barbara were blessed to speak recently at the Gold Coast at a meeting of Chinese pastors and leaders from the Gold Coast and Brisbane. It was good to catch up with our friends Judy Chiem, Debbie Tien and Monica Peng there.
Correction – The Calvary Hospital pulled down the cross after the ACT government’s forced takeover, not the government. Please continue to pray that there will be a Senate Inquiry to this situation.

CROSS REMOVED CALVARY HOSPITAL MAKE SUBMISSION BEFORE CLOSING DATE TOMORROW 17.7.23
The cross at Calvary hospital Canberra being removed by ACT government after forced takeover because they don’t do abortions. Also the Catholic hospice Canberra taken over by the ACT government because they don’t do euthanasia. We need to protect our religious freedom in Australia and faith-based institutions. Warwick Marsh and the Canberra Declaration team are urging us to sign a submission re a Senate enquiry which has to be in by close of business Monday 17 July – tomorrow. Not only is it an attack on the sacredness of life but It is an abuse of property rights and an abuse of proper parliamentary procedure and consultation.
See this video for the strategy for the Calvary hospital submission HERE This link will take you to a page on the Canberra Declaration that will make it easy for you to make a submission. click HERE.
Using Canberra Declaration’s sending facility, submissions will be sent to:
The Senate Inquiry Committee who are receiving submissions until close of business, Monday 17 July.
A copy will be sent to the PM, the federal senators in your state, and your local federal MP.
The Messianic Training Centre is a ministry of Celebrate Messiah. We offer courses from a Messianic Jewish perspective in biblical studies and languages, Jewish history and culture, and effective Jewish outreach.
Date: Each Thursday night, 27 July to 7 September 2023
REPORT FROM ALBERT VEKSLER, HOST JERUSALEM PRAYER BREAKFAST
The Mayor of the City of Gold Coast Tom Tate was our host and we had several dignitaries present from Australia, Fiji, Papua New Guinea, Cook Islands, Solomon Islands, and Vanuatu – altogether 16 nations prayed for the peace of Jerusalem.
We saw something phenomenal that we haven’t seen before – governments sent their official representatives to the Jerusalem Prayer Breakfast Gold Coast: Prime Minister of Fiji, Sitiveni Rabuka sent Deputy Prime Minister Gavoka; Prime Minister of Papua New Guinea, Marape sent the Minister of Community Development and Religion, The Hon. James Peter; Cook Islands Government sent Minister of the Crown, The Hon. Vainetutai Rose Toki-Brown; Solomon Islands’ government sent The Hon. Peter Kenilorea Jr., Member of the National Parliament and the Vanuatuan Prime Minister Kalsakau sent the Deputy Speaker of the Vanuatu Parliament MP Noris Kalmet and MP Jean Baptist.
From Australia, we had Mr. Robert Moelhoek, a Member of the Queensland Parliament, and The Hon. Stuart Robert, a (recently retired) Member of the Australian Parliament. Robert Ilatov, the co-chair of the Jerusalem Prayer Breakfast, MK Tatiana Mazarsky and MK Ohad Tal represented Israel. In addition, we had delegates from Estonia, Fiji, Indonesia, Papua, New Zealand, the Philippines, Samoa, Switzerland, Taiwan, the United Kingdom, and the United States.
Deputy Prime Minister Gavoka shared how God had turned around the political situation in Fiji, after the opposition leader, former PM Sitiveni Rabuka prayed at the JPB Canberra in 2020, and promised to recognize Jerusalem as Israel’s capital.
Not only did the Head of the Opposition become Prime Minister again, but recently the cabinet made the decision to open the Embassy in Israel.

Daniel Simon and Graham McLennan, speakers at Church & Cultural Challenges Conference
Hi Saints – Don’t Miss Out on this Amazing Conference – Church and Cultural Challenges!!
MESSAGE FROM DANIEL SIMON, SOLICITOR HUMAN RIGHTS LAW ALLIANCE, A SPEAKER AT ABOVE CONFERENCE
The book of Romans tells us to “Live in harmony with one another… If possible, so far as it depends on you, live peaceably with all.”
For centuries we have understood that living in harmony with others means respecting their freedom to speak freely, express their opinions, and live according to their faith. But these hard-won freedoms should not be taken for granted. In Australia today Christians find themselves under increasing pressure to stay silent, to compromise on issues of faith, and to leave their beliefs at home or in the pew. It is increasingly difficult to be open about our faith in the workplace and to form faith-based communities, schools, and charities. But these freedoms are important for all Australians, not just Christians. We should desire a society in which these fundamental freedoms are valued, so we can be free to speak the truth in love and to “overcome evil with good”.
The law in Australia provides some protection for the fundamental human right of religious freedom. But as society becomes increasingly hostile to Christianity, the gaps in the law are being exposed and conflicting rights are being given priority. Freedom of religion is seen as an excuse for people of faith to discriminate against minorities. This is seen especially in the area of LGBT issues, and Christian schools are currently at the frontlines of public debate about conflicting rights and freedoms. The Human Rights Law Alliance helps to protect the rights of Christians and Christian organisations to stay faithful to Scripture and serve freely in their communities.
MESSAGE FROM DR GRAHAM MCLENNAN, FOUNDER NATIONAL ALLIANCE OF CHRISTIAN LEADERS & CHRISTIAN HERITAGE RESEARCH WEBSITE ETC. A SPEAKER AT ABOVE CONFERENCE
I will be sharing about Understanding our Christian History with a presentation from the www.chr.org.au website which will include Individuals. Institutions, Documents and Events.

Hi Saints – Don’t Miss Out on this Amazing Conference – Church and Cultural Challenges!!
MESSAGE FROM CINDY MCGARVIE, NATIONAL DIRECTOR YOUTH FOR CHRIST RE ABOVE CONFERENCE
I’m looking forward to the conference in July! In my session, I’ll be presenting a perspective on what I see happening within our culture in regard to our children and young people — a battle for their very souls.
There is a term known as ‘the fog of war’ and it refers to the situation when a military suddenly finds itself in a battle where they have no idea of the location and capability of the enemy, nor the location and capabilities of friendlies. The solution to this is to quickly gather intelligence so that you know what to do. Intelligence reduces the ‘fog of war’—it helps to sort out the truth.
My goal is to provide some valuable intelligence for the spiritual battle that has been intensifying rapidly to equip Christian leaders and parents to fight for our children. ………. See flier below for Cindy’s photo and bio. She has also authored amazing books as well as being on the frontline of the battle for our children and youth. Books are Jesus Revolution: Real and Radical, Lost Boys: Bring Them Home, and The Next Revolution.

Israel Events
April 25-26 – In 2023, Yom Haatzmaut (Israeli Independence Day) was from sundown on April 25 to sundown on April 26. The major State Ceremony took place on the eve of Yom Haatzmaut at Mount Herzl, Israel’s National Ceremony in Jerusalem. This event marked the end of Yom Hazikaron, Israel’s memorial day, commemorating their fallen.
May 7-28 – 21 Prayers for Israel and Isaiah 62 Fast led by Mike Bickle and the International House of Prayer Kansas City. It is estimated that 5 million Christians worldwide are praying for Israel at this time. The judicial crisis in Israel has caused great unrest and division as the government tries to find the right balance between the powers of judiciary and the legislature. Also, Israel is surrounded by hostile states. CLICK HERE to get the 21 prayers.
May 9 to current – Following the death by hunger strike in prison of a Palestinian Islamic Jihad leader, there have been over 1,000 rockets fired at Israeli citizens killing one woman and injuring others. David’s Sling, Israel’s defence system, is intercepting most missiles. Israel has counteracted by the targeted killing of 6 Palestinian Jihad terrorist leaders (Iran’s proxy). Unfortunately, as they use civilians as human shields, there has been some collateral damage, The ALP Australian government is planning to increase funding to the Palestinian Authority, so Australian taxpayers will be supporting terrorism whether they want to or not.
May 14 – Israel’s independence was declared on May 14, 1948 — the day when David ben Gurion officially read the Proclamation of the Establishment of the State of Israel.. Happy 75th birthday Israel.
May 15 – May 151948, the first day of Israeli Independence and exactly one year after United Nations Special Committee on Palestine (UNSCOP) was established,Arab armies invaded Israel and the first Arab-Israeli war began. The fledgling Israel state managed to miraculously win and Arabs have called this Nakba Day. The United Nations will stage a high-level special meeting to commemorate the 75th anniversary of the Nakba – the mass displacement of around 750,000 Palestinians from their homeland in 1948. Many forget that the same number of Jews were displaced from Arab lands at the same time. However, Israel gave them a home while the Arab nations rejected the Palestinians to keep the war going.
Prophetic Word & Decree – Hear the Call of the Voice of the Lord and the Call to Gather in Canberra by Ps Norman Miller
Made on 1 April – A prophetic call to gather in Canberra 27-29 July at Lifestream Church for the Church and Cultural Challenges Conference hosted by the Centre for International Reconciliation and Peace and the Tabernacle of David Cairns. It is a call to deep intercession, the harp and bowl ministry and to bring a cultural shift in our nation to Biblical values. Sound the shofar and hear the roar of the Lion of the tribe of Judah. See more on
Don’t miss this amazing conference 27-29 July at Lifestream Christian Fellowship, 152 Langdon Ave, Wanniassa, Canberra. Speakers are Cindy McGarvie, National Director Youth for Christ, Dr Graham McLennan, founder National Alliance of Christian Leaders, Ps Peter Walker, founder Australian Indigenous Christian Ministries, David Jack, an arts and media expert, and by video, former Senator Amanda Stoker. We will start with 4 hours of worship as we seek the Lord for His purposes in strategic prayer for our nation. There is a strong effort to remove the church from the public square and impose worldly values on the church restricting our religious freedom.
We have issues of political correctness, identity politics, and much more. Come and help bring a shift to our nation. Gal 3:28 says: “There is no longer Jew or Greek, there is no longer slave or free, there is no longer male and female; for all of you are one in Christ Jesus.”
Enormous cultural changes challenge our Christian faith. We need strategic prayer, worship, and to give a reason for our faith 1 Peter 3:15. We need the anointing of Isaachar to know the times and seasons and what Israel and the church should do.
We have a prayer group for the conference with Christians from around Australia fortnightly by zoom and amazing revelation is coming forth.

People Pleasers or God Pleasers: the Church and Cultural Challenges by Ps Barbara Miller
Left – Interim Truth-Telling and Treaty Board (ITTB) – Ray Rosendale, Cheryl Buchanan, Aaron Fa’aoso, and Dr Sallyanne Atkinson, Cairns 9.5.23, Right – Barbara Miller and Cheryl Buchanan, Co-chair ITTB Cairns 9.5.23
PATH TO TREATY
Path to Treaty legislation passed in Cairns as the Qld Parliament met in Cairns 9-11 May. It will establish a Truth-Telling and Healing Inquiry and a Treaty Institute. Barbara wrote an article for The Spectator which came out today 13 May though it was written the previous week.
Norman and Barbara and other Miller family members and community leaders were invited to a breakfast with the Premier, MPs and the ITTB on 11 May to commemorate the passing of the legislation.
Traditional owner, Seith Fourmile, called out Barbara Miller and a few other key workers for Indigenous advancement including Norman’s father and mother. Co-chair of the ITTB, Cheryl Buchanan, singled out Barbara for having worked as long as Cheryl had – 53 years – for Indigenous advancement. At an earlier ITTB workshop on 9 May, Seith honoured Barbara and Norman, and Cheryl honoured Barbara remembering her as the “young Christian girl” who had stood with them at the tent embassy in Canberra in 1971.
VOICE REFERENDUM
Hardly surprising that The Weekend Australian May 13-14 said on its front page, “Australians will be asked to vote for an Indigenous voice to Parliament and executive government after a Labor-dominated parliamentary committee endorsed Anthony Albanese’s proposed constitutional amendment without change, deepening the political battle over the referendum process.
The Liberals and Nationals – who made up less than a third of the committee members – issued dissenting reports on Friday attacking as insufficient the six-week timeframe given to the inquiry.” They said there should have been a constitutional convention to iron out drafting issues.
Former Prime Minister, Tony Abbott was denied the opportunity to make a verbal submission to the Inquiry until he went to the media and they relented and gave him a grilling over his opposition to the Voice. Ps Norman Miller was similarly denied a hearing though he put his name down to speak before the inquiry hearing in Cairns and waited all day to give evidence. Instead, he put in a written submission which should be publicly available along with all the others. As we know, there have been many legal opinions for and against the Voice with disagreement in the legal fraternity.
Pastors Norman and Barbara were interviewed by Vision Christian Radio on the Voice as Christians are wanting some leadership and advice on this issue. A Canberra intercessor said that 1 Way fm Christian radio in Canberra also covered their interview.
It is unhelpful that one of the Aboriginal designers of the Voice, Marcia Langton, publicly said on there could be an intifada in the western desert of Australia if a yes vote for the referendum did not succeed. (The Australian 3 May). Dr David Adler President of the Australian Jewish Association told Sky News 14 May that antifada is an Arab word and means race-based terrorism.
This is not what we want to see in Australia. There is a debate about whether the Voice would further or set back the cause of reconciliation between First Nations people and the rest of Australia.
