Join us online as we celebrate 30 years of God’s faithfulness and the journey of the Tabernacle of David Cairns and the Centre for International Reconciliation & Peace.
For three decades, this ministry has been involved in reconciliation, worship, prayer, teaching, hosting conferences in Parliament House Canberra and overseas and building relationships locally, nationally and internationally. We are grateful for the many people and ministries God has brought across our path and for the opportunities we have had to serve and build bridges of friendship and reconciliation around the world.
🎥 Launch of our 30-Year Documentary
The evening will include the launch of a video documentary telling the story of our 30 years — remembering the people, places, ministries and significant moments that have shaped our journey. We thank David Jack the videographer.
We will also hear presentations and messages from ministries around the world with whom we have worked over the years, sharing memories, encouragement and reflections on the journey.
Our Anniversary Scriptures
Two Scriptures have been especially significant to us as we look back over these 30 years:
“Ask of Me, and I will give you the nations for your inheritance.” — Psalm 2:8
“You also, as living stones, are being built up as a spiritual house…” — 1 Peter 2:5 (We have built people and the kingdom rather than a local church though we do have a local church in Cairns)
Together, these Scriptures reflect two important aspects of our journey: a heart for the nations and the building of people and relationships as living stones in God’s temple
📅 Event Details
Friday 16 October 2026 6:00pm–9:00pm AEST Online via Zoom
This will be a relaxed anniversary celebration — an opportunity to give thanks, remember the past, celebrate the present and look towards the future.

INVITE TO IFII ZOOM SEMINAR 3 AUG 7.30pm AEST – WHAT TO DO ABOUT ANTISEMITISM IN THE MEDIA
We are privileged to hear from Michael Gawenda as speaker.
Here is the rego link which is also on our website. Michael Gawenda is one of Australia’s best-known journalists and authors. In a journalism career spanning more than four decades, Michael has been a political reporter, a foreign correspondent based in London and in Washington, a columnist, a feature writer and an editor.
He has won numerous journalism awards including three Walkley awards, the equivalent of the Pulitzers. He was Editor of The Age from 1997 to 2003 and was promoted to Editor in Chief in 2003. He is the author of five books. His latest book, My Life As a Jew, was published in October 2023, three days before October 7.
Michael is a regular contributor to The Australian Newspaper and has contributed op-ed pieces to Haaretz., The Australian Financial Review and The Saturday Paper. ………………………………………………….. One example – Hours after the UN had retracted false claims that 14,000 Gazan children were at risk of dying of malnutrition and hours after the BBC had reported that the claims were incorrect, the ABC were still running the claims as a headline story and, as Antisemitism Envoy Jillian Segal told the Royal Commission, it was a week before they corrected it online.
Aboriginal Christian William Cooper was the originator or father of NAIDOC which developed from Aboriginal Sunday in 1940. Ps Norman has opened the Cairns commemorations in prayer for many years. This year he ran some art workshops.
Unmasking Deception: Hate Posing as Compassion & Justice
Beware of hate disguised as compassion, social justice, or truth. From antisemitism masked as anti-Zionism to ideological bias posing as reality, this deception blinds us. True moral clarity comes from seeking truth beyond preferred ideologies. Check out our Facebook page or youtube for video shorts. Social media links at bottom of newsletter
The Resilience Blueprint: A Guide for Jewish Parents Raising Confident, Resilient Children in the Face of Antisemitism
By Barbara Miller
If you have a Jewish friend looking for practical tools, encouragement, and a positive path forward for their family, this guide is for you. It will have some tips for other parents too re resilience.
Most importantly, this guide offers hope. It reminds parents and children alike that while antisemitism is real, it does not define who they are. Jewish identity is bigger than prejudice. Jewish history is richer than hatred. And resilience can be learned, strengthened, and passed on to the next generation.
The Four Pillars of Jewish Resilience: Community, Family, Faith & Culture, and Heritage & Contribution When to seek additional support Practical ways to build confidence and resilience Strategies for handling online harassment How to work effectively with schools What to do when a child is targeted or excluded Ways to build Jewish pride without creating fear How to talk to children about antisemitism at different ages Inside you’ll discover:
Written by Barbara Miller, B.A. (Hons Psychology), Grad Dip Sociology, the guide combines insights from psychology, sociology, Holocaust education, and contemporary experience to help families respond constructively to antisemitism while strengthening resilience, identity, and wellbeing.
A free resource, the Resilience Blueprint provides practical, compassionate, and evidence-informed guidance for parents navigating these difficult questions.
Jewish parents today are facing challenges that many hoped belonged to the past. Children are encountering antisemitism at school, online, in sport, and sometimes even in places where they should feel safest. How do we protect them without frightening them? How do we build confidence instead of anxiety? How do we help them develop a strong Jewish identity in a world that can sometimes feel hostile?

Antisemitism Support and Action
Barbara Miller is an author, historian, teacher, sociologist and former psychologist and has just founded a community on Skool.
After the Holocaust of 6 million Jews and others including gypsies, political opponents, homosexuals and the disabled, the world said “Never Again”. However we have seen it again on Oct 7 2023 where 1200 Isaelis were horrifically killed, at Bondi Beach Australia where 15 mostly Jews were massacred and incidents around the world with calls to Globalize the Intifada.
So we now have a situation where antisemitism has grown like a monster that is tearing apart the social fabric of many nations including Australia, destroying the multicultural dream with divisive rhetoric and hateful actions, challenging the values our peaceful democracies were built on and traumatising Jews in Israel and around the world who just want to live their lives in peace and contribute to a better world.
Not only that, antisemitism has morphed from the ancient fear of difference and envy and scapegoating of the Jews for the world’s problems to the race-based worldview of the Nazis during World War 2 that Jews were inferior to Aryans to the current variety.
We now have the shocking inversion of Jews being falsely accused as Nazis and antisemitism masquerading as acceptable, even proud antizionism or criticism of Israel’s policies and right to exist. Not content to genocide Jews they want to genocide Israel from the river to the sea. And globalize their war on Jews.
So now, instead of the Nazis, we have what has been called a “horseshoe” coalition of marxists on the left, fascists on the right and radical Islamists, with little in common except their hatred of Jews and their desire to brand and run the world in their image.
So I have developed this community to: · Increase awareness and provide educational materials both historic and current · Create a community where discussion and support can occur · Provide comfort and support for the Jewish community and others who feel grief at the state of affairs we are in and · Encourage and equip upstanders or people of principle who want to make a difference in dealing with this scourge of antisemitism. You can join HERE
You can also find a low cost well-researched course here on the Holocaust and Antisemitism. If you would like to know more, see HERE

STRIKE ON IRAN ON SHABBAT ZACHOR, A BLOW AGAINST TERROR STATE & ANTISEMITISM
By Barbara Miller 1.3.26
Today’s Haman, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, who had a similar plan to eliminate worldwide Jewry, met the same fate and on the eve of Purim – his own death. And the Jewish people live. Am Yisrael Chai.
The US and Israel attack on Iran, ancient Persia, over its nuclear and ballistic missiles and sponsorship of terrorism targeted at Israel occurred on Shabbat Zachor. This is the Shabbat before Purim which starts Monday evening. On Shabbat Zachor or the Shabbat of Remembrance, there is a supplementary reading to the parashah or torah portion. It is Deuteronomy 25:17-19 and it commands the people of God to remember the evil of Amalek and obliterate it from the earth, “obliterate the memory of Amalek from under the heavens.”
Did Israeli and even American leaders know that they fulfilled this command by striking Iran on Shabbat Zachor? I think they did. They may have even timed it for this reason.
The commandment was given when the Israelites were coming from Egypt into the Promised Land and the Amalekites attacked the stragglers, weak and elderly at the rear. The commandment was repeated by GoD to Moses in Exodus 17:14-16 when Amalek attacked them at Rephidim, challenging God’s throne, just before they got to Mt Sinai where God made covenant with them and gave them the ten commandments.
Another attempt to prevent Israel’s destiny was when David and his men returned to their camp at Ziglag to find their camp burnt and wives taken captive. This could have prevented him becoming King but he led a successful rescue. Sadly, this is near present day Kibbutz Be’eri and Kfar Aza where some of the worst atrocities occurred on October 7 and we visited there recently.
So. it is no surprise that, though the Amalekites have disappeared as a race that Israel has a habit of calling all its enemies Amalekites. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu used the term Amalekites re Hamas so the prosecutors used this to accuse him of genocide at the International Court of Justice hearings. The jury is out so to speak but the damage has been done.
Why would Amalek have a murderous hate of Israel? He was the grandson of Esau, twin to Jacob whose name was changed to Israel. Esau despised his birthright and inheritance and sold it to his brother for a bowl of lentils. Jacob tricked his father into giving him the blessing so Esau’s anger and jealously has been handed down through the generations. The covenant promises are through the lineage of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob and that was God’s plan.
So, we come to the story of Purim where Haman, the Agagite is a descendant of King Agag of the Amalekites and Haman wanted the Jews in Persia to bow down to him as Prime Minister. When Mordecai refused, he got King Xerxes 1 to write a decree to have them exterminated in all the empire on 13 Adar 356 BCE. But Queen Esther (Hadassah), secretly a Jew, was asked by Mordecai to intervene. She asked all Jews to fast and pray for 3 days and then she went to the King.
When Haman’s plot was revealed, the King instructed Haman to be hung on the same gallows he’d constructed for Mordecai. As decrees could not be cancelled, the King instructed Esther and Mordecai to right another decree to reverse the effect of the first one. This meant Jews could defend themselves and even pre-emptively strike those they believed intended to kill them. The threat was eliminated and the feast of Purim instituted to celebrate.
We come back to the Shabbat Zachor strike on Iran which in some ways was pre-emptive and in some ways defensive as Iran has been responsible for funding and training many proxies to attack Israel – Hamas, Hezbollah, Houthis, Palestinian Islamic Jihad, and militias in Iraq, Syria and the West Bank (Judea/Samaria.)
Israel was on the brink of signing an Abrahamic Accord with Saudi Arabia when Hamas attacked on October 7 with the aim of blowing the accord out of the water. It would have been a historic breakthrough in relations in the Middle East. Israel is now on the brink of a new breakthrough with the weakening and possible demise of the Iranian regime. Interestingly, it was the 47thPresident of the United States that has brought 47 years of Islamic terrorist rule in Iran to the brink of collapse.
I want to make two final points:
It was Persia, ancient Iran, which produced Cyrus and other kings who enabled the Jewish people to return from Babylonian captivity and financed the rebuilding of Jerusalem and the temple. We need a modern-day Cyrus in Iran who will favour Israel and may even sign the Abraham Accords or similar with it.
I take the commandment of Deuteronomy 25:17-19 about remembering the evil of Amalek and eradicating it from under heaven about being a call to us, Jews and Christians, to obliterate the spirit of Amalek which is a spirit of violent antisemitism. While radical Islam is one manifestation of it, it predates Islam by many centuries.

PROPHETIC PRAYER AND VISION OF JESUS AND HIS FOOTPRINTS AND HANDS ON BONDI BEACH 25.1.2026 BY PS NORMAN MILLER
Lord, even though we saw what took place before Christmas, we saw what took place on BondI. But Lord, I pray in this place, in this lake of Galilee, from this city. I pray Lord that there will be a catch because of the network and the influence of that network will carry and it will carry and it will draw because it will be a network Lord of people that you’ll bring together and Lord that it will be strengthened in your word in your foundation. It will be people like heart like mind. Though there are differences, but Lord, it’s you that brings about and makes a difference because of your word and the promise of your word. It will be a people of influence, importantly godly influence that you’ll bring into this network of ministries that love you, that serve you, that honor you, that will stand shoulder to shoulder Because there will be much more that you will do.
And the influences, Lord, that right now that you’re calling them to come together because it’s you that will bring them together. And Lord, we pray that even as the disciples, they were in the boat, they didn’t exactly need another boat or a bigger boat because they had you as the lordship and the kingship and you were steering them and you were healing them and you were restoring them. And as that restoration came, Lord, they were built because of you and the word of your foundations and the strength of your foundations. The word of the Lord of Jerusalem came strongly into their hearts and into their spirits and they were able to carry out as that network of people that you have joined together to bring in such a harvest to reach out. You were drawing them, Lord, for a time.
And even as the catch and they were able to come together and have that meal together, have that breakfast together with you that you will draw that network of people that right now that you’re speaking to the hearts to. And Lord, what took place on the beach of Bondi there? You will establish that beach head ministry. And Lord, even as I’m praying, I I looked on the front of my Bible and it gave that scripture of all the words of footprints. When you saw only one set of footprints, it was then that I carried you. And you will call us to carry the task that you’ve given us. Your promises are yes and amen. Your covenant promises are yes and amen.
Lord, right now that you speaking to the hearts of men and women even in this nation. And Lord, even right now, I can just see your footprints in the sand deeply printed. In the sands of that beach and your hands, Lord, as we have heard the miracles that you’ve done. In the sadness of that tragedy, you will turn around for your good, the saving of many souls for your kingdom. And so Lord, the response that will come from a people that you you are speaking to right now.
When we hear them say, “The Lord spoke to me and I said, “Here I am, Lord. Send me. Here I am, Lord. Use me. That will be the response of a heart of obedience that will hear the wave and move of your Holy Spirit, the wave of your glory. And Lord, I know that you will position men and women that will come on board. And as the surfboard goes out and is ready to catch that wave, we ask and pray, Lord. There will be those that will respond and they will say, “The Lord spoke to me.” The confirming word. Because out of this place of devastation, the goodness of God will come through and shine forth. the light of the world. Shine your glory. Shine your presence. Heavy way. Heavy weight. Heavy weight. And in that song that we all know so well this little light of mine, I’m going to let it shine.

There is now a dedicated page on our website to this project which has been going just over a year and we have 3 units ready to roll out across Australia – Grade 1 and 2, Grade 3 and 4 and Grade 5 and 6. Positive reviews are coming in from teachers and we are approaching schools to pilot the units in term 1 next year. Are you a teacher or parent who is interested? Please contact us.
The Nazis shatter glass and shatter the lives of European Jews at Kristallnacht, the start of the Holocaust. An Australian Aboriginal, William Cooper, leads the campaign for civil rights for his people who are dying of poverty and mistreatment around him. 1938; two worlds, far apart. Cut to the core after Kristallnacht, can he do anything to stop it?
Described as Australia’s Martin Luther King, Cooper leads the Australian Aborigines’ League on a protest to the German Consulate in Melbourne. Would the Third Reich pour out its wrath on them? Would they make a difference?
A Chair of Resistance to the Holocaust was named in honour of Cooper at Yad Vashem. His grandson, Alf Turner, becomes passionate about fulfilling his grandfather’s unfinished business and taking the protest to Berlin itself. How will he be received?
This true story will inspire you to stand up and be counted and to make a difference.

Gofundme for Schools Antisemitism Education
There is currently no dedicated, age-appropriate antisemitism education in Australian primary schools—only optional anti racism or holocaust or multicultural education. Please help us while we continue to develop this and work on its implementaton. See HERE
Our expert curriculum writer Shoshana Linnane has developed 10-week modules for Grades 1-2 and 5-6. These lessons use the story of a 7-year-old Jewish refugee girl from the kindertransport during World War II to help children understand what it means to be displaced, excluded, or vulnerable. The modules foster empathy, compassion, and respect for diversity through activities like art, music, and drama, and align with the national curriculum. We want all children to grow up in safe, inclusive communities where they learn to treat others fairly and without discrimination.
If you believe in building a future where every child feels valued and racism has no place, please consider supporting our fundraiser. Even a small contribution or sharing this opportunity to help would make a difference.
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 avolunteer whether you are a person of faith or not. United we stand and divided we fall.

An update to remind you of our IFII zoom seminar Monday 29 Sept 7pm AEST & 3pm Pacific Time & let you know of our Declaration by Indigenous People of the Pacific Rim in support of Israel ready to sign HERE
A Declaration of Solidarity with Israel from the Indigenous and Diverse Communities of the Pacific Rim
We recognize the Jewish people as the Indigenous stewards of the land of Israel, their ancestral homeland, where their history, culture, and spiritual legacy have been rooted for millennia. This indigeneity resonates deeply with our own connections to land, tradition, and resilience, forging a sacred bond between our communities and the Jewish people. We honor Israel not only as a homeland but as a beacon of morality, kindness, and grace—a nation that exemplifies the highest standards of humanity in the face of unparalleled challenges.
Indigenous peoples of the Pacific Rim not only have a shared indigeneity with Jewish people but the shared experience of tribal societies, close family relations, attachment to land and closeness to nature. We also have shared experiences of colonisation, dispersion, ethnic cleansing, persecution, discrimination, marginalisation, trauma and the need for resilience.
Despite this, our cultures and spirituality remain strong. We applaud the Jewish people that they have been able to retain their religion and culture, revive their language and decolonise their land with the rebirth of the state of Israel in 1948 forming the only democracy in the Middle East.
Zoom Seminar 29.9.25 7pm AEST and 29.9.25 3pm Pacific Time (US and Canada)

Hope and Victory over Evil, the Assassination of Charlie Kirk by Ps Barbara Miller 13.9.25 https://youtu.be/SwpYZwiS5rM
When I prayed at the end of this message for viewers to open their hearts and receive Jesus as their Saviour and fill that void or hole or God-space in their lives, Judy Miller who was present, saw a vision of the book of life in heaven with names being entered into it so I thank God for that. She said that when I go to heaven, people will tell me that they are there because of me.
I think this is even much more so with Charlie Kirk who opened the door of heaven for many people while he was alive so their names would be written in the book of life (eternal life). After his death, his message will bring many many more to turn their lives around and accept Jesus.
John 12.24 New Living Translation “I tell you the truth, unless a kernel of wheat is planted in the soil and dies, it remains alone. But its death will produce many new kernels—a plentiful harvest of new lives.” Charlie loved God passionately, loved Israel passionately, loved his wife and children and nation passionately and promoted traditional Judeo-Christian values which are now counter-cultural.
He founded Turning Point and changed the lives of many young people. His death will be a turning point. While many on the left mocked, others on the left said they could not continue on the left after this callous response. Many wept and said they would follow in Charlie’s footsteps. Some commentators have said this is an issue beyond left and right wing but is good versus evil and so it is. Charlie ran the good race and won and is now with Jesus. HIs wife Erika, despite her grief, has vowed to carry on, saying her cries would become a battle cry. We pray for his wife and children, family and friends and also for the family of the killer who will be grappling with this tragedy.
CAIRNS FESTIVAL PARADE MUNGANBANA ABORIGINAL ART GALLERY FLOAT
Munganbana Norman likes to put a float in the Cairns Festival Parade each year and this year on Sept 30, the Lions of Zion from Melbourne joined us on the float. Norman called the float Let’s Dance and made a large Dancing Brolga and a large Dancing Dolphin. You can’t see the Dolphin in the photo but you can see a large Nemo or Clownfish. Norman’s family helped him again this year decorating the float.
The vision Norman had for the float was to sing and/or play the music of Christian songs and songs with good values over the city where thousands lined the streets to watch and wave. Norman particularly wanted to sing the song Jerusalema over the city, which he did to honour the holy city which is the throne Jesus will rule from for 1,000 years.
We look forward to the heavenly Jerusalem coming down over the earthly Jerusalem. Norman had asked some African dancers to join us behind the float because Jerusalema is in African but they didn’t make it. What was higly significant is that Lions of Zion from Melbourne – Isaac, Joshua and Anthony (pictured) and their families joined us which was wonderful.

SUCCESSFUL MEETINGS WITH EDUCATION AUTHORITIES
Norman and Barbara have had many successful meetings with state and commonwealth education authorities and federal ministers over our School Antisemitism Education Project. So please if you know any primary schools that would be interested in becoming part of a pilot program to test it before it gets rolled out nationally, please let us know. Also, if you know of any funding options, please let us know as we are all working voluntarily including our expert curriculum writer Shoshana Linnane.
Gofundme for Schools Antisemitism Education
There is currently no dedicated, age-appropriate antisemitism education in Australian primary schools—only optional anti racism or holocaust or multicultural education. Please help us while we continue to develop this and work on its implementaton. See HERE
Our expert curriculum writer Shoshana Linnane has developed 10-week modules for Grades 1-2 and 5-6. These lessons use the story of a 7-year-old Jewish refugee girl from the kindertransport during World War II to help children understand what it means to be displaced, excluded, or vulnerable. The modules foster empathy, compassion, and respect for diversity through activities like art, music, and drama, and align with the national curriculum. We want all children to grow up in safe, inclusive communities where they learn to treat others fairly and without discrimination.
If you believe in building a future where every child feels valued and racism has no place, please consider supporting our fundraiser. Even a small contribution or sharing this opportunity to help would make a difference.

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 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.
