Shalom Pastor Danny,

I just wanted to say what a privilege it was for me to be at the Yom Ha’azmaut “Standing with Israel” function the other week. As a member of the Jewish community it was heart-warming to hear so many words of support, blessings and prayers towards Israel and the Jewish people.

As a travel agent who specialises in group tours, especially Jewish and Christian groups, I feel honoured to have been able to work with groups such as Celebrate Messiah, Jewish Prayer Focus Group, Christian Friends for Israel and the like.
I was wondering whether, after the wonderful attendance and positive energy towards Israel, you’d be interested in leading a Catch the Fire tour to Israel. I’d be keen to work with you to put an itinerary together and assist you in all aspects of such a tour. Let me know if you have ever considered something like this….

It was nice to get the brief opportunity to meet you and shake your hand on the night when Lawrence Hirsch introduced us. I hope we are able to keep in contact and work together in the foreseeable future.

In the meantime, a hearty congratulations to you and your team for a fantastic night.

Thanks and regards, Steven

I’d like to thank all the team people for making possible the Anniversary of The State of Israel celebration.A big thank you to the dancers, the lady that made the banners, the musicians, the people that put the chairs together, the people at the door. You are all the unsung heroes of the night, and the credit goes to you!! for me personally, after supporting Israel for 15 years, it made me very happy to see christians uniting (well over due) with our older brothers for this celebration.

Once again, THANK YOU!

Website comment from Maddalena Bickerton, leader of the Dance team on the night

“Regarding the Dance presentation many were delighted with the choreography…
A specific comment received on the night following the dance, “May the Lord too, rejoice that His Chosen people are being provoked to jealousy. Shalom be upon you.”
Friends from Israel attending the evening, made these comments, “It was so beautiful and they felt so comfortable with the dancing and rejoicing.” The young man that held the Israeli flag said, “It was a privilege and honour that he had asked him to represent the Nation of Israel.”
Another lady hugged me and said the Lord’s anointing was upon me, and to keep dancing and worshipping the Lord. I was also thanked much on the night. All glory goes to our God!”

I am from a Lithuanian migrant family who came to Australia after the war. After my mother passed away recently we found we have Jewish roots. It was miraculous and obviously at Gods timing. My sister was born on the 13th of may 1948. Although we were raised as Christians we have always deeply loved and prayed for Israel.

At the celebration I could not stop my tears. God is moving by His spirit to accomplish His purpose. He has reminded us we are blood relatives. Joined by His Blood.

“Shalom” Association was founded in 1980 by Russian Speaking Jews from the Former Soviet Union. Our associated organisations are: Veterans of WW2, Former inmates from Nazi Camps, Discussian Club and others. Our members were at your 60th Anniversary Celebration of Israel. They told me - it was fantastic!
I think it will be very interesting to show the Video of this event at our regular meetings.Therefore we ask you to send a copy of this Video to our organization, which has around 1000 members.

Dear Dianne, Thanks so much for sending that report. We rejoice to hear that the Lord blessed the celebration so much and would have loved to have been there. My Wife Audrey is a Messianic Jew and we have a ministry called “Teshuwah (Victory) Ministries”. We minister in churches here in Tasmania on the deeper life and also do marriage seminars. At the moment we are
heavily involved as Elders in the Lighthouse here in Hobart being responsible for pastoral care of some 20 people and responsible for all Counselling. PTL we are 76 and 77 and believe the Lord would have us “Occupy until He comes”. Wishing you and the work of Catch the Fire every blessing. (Pastors) Audrey & Maurice

Hi everyone, reading your e-mail I can actually feel the awesomeness in my spirit of the wonderful time you had. Its amazing what God is busy doing all over the world, there is restoration taking place like never before, even people who were as hard as nails and resisted the move of The Holy Spirit in there lives are turning around and are seeking to find that which only a meaningful relationship with God can give. Isn’t it amazing, we sang the song “ all over the world the Spirit is moving “ for years but it is definitely happening now.! We are surely living in very exiting times right now, every day is just another exiting looking forward to what God is going to do next experience, and every experience is just more exiting than the one before.

I would surely like to get one of your DVD;s on this and if you can let me have your details to deposit the monies into your bank so you can forward me one I would appreciate it tremendously.

Love in Christ, Johann

To all the Team at Catch the Fire Ministries, Shalom.

Just a note to tell you how appreciated & very special the Israel 60th Anniversary celebrations were. I was deeply moved by everything that took place from the songs, dance, video footage, banners, prayers & speakers that participated.

The love, unity, joy & beautiful presence of the LORD truly brought tears to my eyes.

I sat behind three of the dignitaries of the Israeli Jewish community and there was no doubt in my mind that what they witnessed last night was well beyond even their expectations.

I believe all the hard work, dedication & prayer you placed into the night has produced fruit that will last for eternity.

God bless you all abundantly, Chris
