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.

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. For His Glory is also available in hardcover, shipped from Amazon in the USA, Canada, United Kingdom, Germany, Spain, France, and Italy (Amazon hardcover books are not yet printed in other countries).
