Ps Howard’s message – We praise God with you for His faithfulness towards you and the Centre for International Reconciliation & Peace over these 25 years, and we trust that as you follow the Good Shepherd’s lead, He will find you faithfully doing what He has put into your hands until He returns.  Through the blood of Yeshua’s/Jesus’ cross, we are united in God’s reconciliation and peace.

Your heart for healing and reconciliation is expressed in Barbara’s well-researched books, through Norman’s art and teaching and all the conferences and seminars you have held in key locations, including Parliament House in Canberra. You carry the heart of the Father for Israel, expressed in your years of intercession and standing on the land. We join you in giving thanks to the Lord for 25 wonderful years serving Him.

Right – Sue and Roy Rowe, intercessory leaders in New Zealand. Sue says– Congratulations, from New Zealand, on your anniversary, celebrating the culmination of years of much planning, travel, strategic warfare, and strategic relationships new and old, especially to and with Israel.

It was a pleasure to be part of one of the teams you led to Israel, and the partnership with Howard and Randi Bass once we got there. Your fountain of knowledge of Israel came to the fore during the bus trips, as you explained the significance of each place we visited, and provided the historical context.

Biblical Basis of my Journey That Led to My Latest Book Secrets and Lies by Barbara Miller. This is worth checking out as it discusses briefly but insightfuly Critical Race Theory and Black Lives Matter and much more.

Left – Margot from the Isaiah 19 Highway says – What a delight to give honor where honor is rightly due.  I personally have a lot to thank you for and Australia has a lot to thank you for.  You are forerunners in the most crucial message of all and a blessing to Israel. When it wasn’t popular and still so misunderstood, you championed Israel and spoke up for her with your words and with your lives.  

 I first met you in Israel in 2003 at the Tom Hess convocation, representing Australia.  How apt that it was you who God chose for that honorable task.  How apt that Norman as an Indigenous Australian carried God’s heart for Israel and led the way for Australia to embrace the Jewish people, and teach us to honor them, their beautiful Jewish Messiah Yeshua and the land that He gave to them.  How apt that it was at this convocation where I first met you.

How apt that this was my very first month of the next five years of living in the City of our God, and the launching of my journey into the Isaiah 19 highway nations that continues to this day.  I loved you right away.  I loved your hearts right away. I loved your message and everything you carried right away. Thank you for batting for Israel and never giving up.  Thank you for the blessing that has been and you have been to Australia and to Israel.

The next time I had the privilege of spending extended time with you was the rare occasion that I came back to Australia in 2015.  You invited me to attend a conference and speak there.  Again, I saw how special you were. We were on the same page right away again, with hearts, minds, faith and prayers connected as one.  The message God gave me for us was so special to me.  It was a new message.  It was something that grew in me like something that was birthed in me. 

I’ve never had such a message that impacted me so deeply.  I was blessed more than anyone at that conference. I’m very sure of that.  It was a message that God gave me in dreams and by revelation and it has never left me since. In fact, it has grown, as does anything that God gives by His Spirit.  This tells me a lot about the hunger you and your congregation carry and the things that you birth.  It tells me, how you release the fullness of people’s ministries and what God has given them. Your ministry shouts forerunners.

Your ministry births deep things that become pillars in the end time heralders.  Thank you for every time you ask me to join you. I absolutely love sharing with you and hearing from you, because each time it comes with anticipation of what deep and revelatory things God is going to birth. 

   Your humility and love for the Lord points to Yeshua and to all that is on His heart.  It draws the Bride into the depths of His heart and past the superficial things. Past even the good things to the deepest things on His heart.  Thank you for carrying the cross with Him.  Thank you for being by His side in the things that are so dear to His heart, in the things that make Him weep and the things that bring Him joy. 

  Thank you for carrying His heart so beautifully.  I want to finish by leaving a verse that makes me want to put it like a banner over you.  “Works that will NOT burn in the fire”.  ICorinthians3:14. “Well done good and faithful, faithful servants”.  Matthew 25:21. Thank you, dear Norman and Barbara. 

Right – Brian and Robyn, co-founders of the Australian Prayer Network.

Brian brings this humourous story of when our ministry hosted a group of intercessors who were on a reconciliation tour of Australia. They were to speak at our Reconciliation conference in 1998. Brian says – It is a joy to pass on our congratulations to Norman and Barbara on the occasion of the 25th anniversary of the House of David. Over the years Norman and Barbara have laboured faithfully in many areas of Christian service and have made an enormous contribution to the lives of many they have impacted over that time.

Our paths have crossed many times over those 25 years, both here in Australia and overseas as well. The story that stands out for me (Brian) the most from many I could tell was when the British Intercessory team led by Brian Mills and Roger Mitchell came to Australia as part of what became known as British/Australian Reconciliation.

The British Team along with myself visited Cairns and were hosted by Norman and Barbara. Accommodation was found for them at a venue run by some Catholic Nuns. One night the Nuns went out and left the British Team to themselves with instructions that their dinners were stored in the refrigerator in plastic containers. All went well until the British went to the freezer section of the refrigerator rather than the refrigerator itself. Sure enough, there were plastic containers full of food. So they promptly emptied the containers onto a plate and put them in the microwave.

They did not complain about the food but noted to us later that it was a little tougher than expected. They finished their meal and settled in for the evening without further incident. When the nuns returned home they went to the fridge and noted the food still there unused. They then opened the freezer and discovered that all the food in the containers had gone at which point panic set in.

They called out to me to come and gingerly asked whether the British had in fact eaten the food in the freezer rather than the fridge to which I replied in the affirmative. At this point, their faces turned to horror as they told me they had in fact eaten the food set apart for their dogs and not the British. The food in the fridge was in fact the food they should have eaten. From memory the dog food they ate was in fact kangaroo meat – hence the relative toughness of it.

When we get together with the British from time to time we still laugh about this incident which fortunately did not set off another international incident.

(We do too Brian. We remember when Brian Mills shared this at our conference saying “Ruff ruff !! and we all had a big laugh. The kangaroo meat had 3 vegetables with it as the Nuns fed their dogs well.)
