I’m leading this call today for repentance for antisemitism in the Church and of Australia’s responsibility towards Israel and the Jewish people.

The Canberra Declaration is set to launch into a new and increased season of prayer. But before we do, here’s a little history of what’s brought us to this point – including my journey.

The results from Canberra Declaration's prayer survey are now in, with overwhelming support for three key prayer initiatives! Join us tonight on Zoom as we share these results. We want to hear from you!

On 11–13 October 2023, “Welcome the King of Glory” was held in Jerusalem. This historic event joined Jew and Gentile together in covenant allegiance to Jesus.

On 17 February 2024, 140 people came together to honour and give thanks for those who pioneered the prayer and intercessory movement in Australia.

Understanding the Gaza Conflict means acknowledging an unpopular truth: Palestinians are responsible for everything that is happening to them.

4,500 people took to Adelaide’s streets in the highly successful fifth annual Walk for Life. An astonishing address and personal story by Brian Ottinger of his post-abortion healing brought hope for real change for men, women and children.

We have hope in the day when the overturning of legalised abortion will reverberate like shockwaves across the nations as minds are freed and light opens the blind eyes to see the new and living way.

Led by Christians, Never Again is Now is standing against antisemitism in Australia. With events planned around the country, this is a movement of solidarity among Australians against anti-Jewish racism and hatred. It is for such a time as this. And it needs you.

The cultural value of the unborn, of ‘unwanted children’, is sadly, they have no rights and no value, but are seen as a problem to be removed as cost-effectively as possible.

There is powerful help for women who have gone down the road of abortion — that help comes from Jesus Christ, Who freely gives to all who believe.

When we consider some of the attacks on life in our culture, it is easy to give way. It’s easy to be quiet or to keep our head down, or to just mutter within our own safe circles. And it’s tempting to wash our hands.

In this Life-sustaining mission, like Deborah, through faith, we are called to help others trust that God's Love and new beginnings remain available to them amidst impossible-looking circumstances — even if they feel they've made a mess of their lives and it's too late.

There are only six days remaining in this year's prayer and fasting campaign for the unborn (21 January–10 February). But there is much happening, with Zoom prayer meetings and the Adelaide Walk for Life!

It is still Jesus’s deep love calling us to obey His instruction to weep – may we enter into deep intercession, travailing and weeping over the babies being put to death by legalised abortion.

Many times, as we stand for life and mention the objective of “no legalised abortion in Australia,” we are immediately confronted with well-meaning people who bring up exceptions – circumstances that make it ok to have an abortion.

Many people experience grief over abortion – not just the woman who has had the abortion, but the fathers, grandparents, siblings; anyone who knows about the abortion can suddenly feel overwhelmed and powerless.

Adoption is God’s idea, and it is a great idea! God wants every child to be embraced by someone who will care for them, protect and provide for and most of all love them. His perfect plan can also mean, “He marked out our horizon [destiny] beforehand.”

A brephos is a brephos inside the womb or outside the womb. A baby is a baby in the womb or after birth. As Christians, we know this instinctively, and I am convinced the world does too.

Compassion is a huge part of our heavenly Father’s character and ways! Jesus was constantly moved by compassion for people. He also taught parables highlighting the characteristic of compassion as a vital part of Heaven’s Kingdom culture.
