The First House of Prayer in Melanesia
The First House of Prayer in Melanesia
Launched by the Prime Minister of the Solomon Islands
TO GOD BE THE THE GLORY GREAT THINGS HE HAS DONE... The IHOP-LINKING THE ISLANDS in Buderim Australia and the SIHOP which we have recently launched from July 10th - 14th 2013 in Honiara. Officially launched by our Prime Minister, the Honourable Gordon Darcy Lilo at the Lawson Tama National stadium. It was indeed a real blessing to have great speakers like Pastor Ben Gray and Pastor Ian Malins, men I have known for a long time. Their teaching and sharing at our two days of leadership conference was very powerful and relevant. Brother Ben's sharing at the International Leaders Prayer Breakfast and the Official launch have left a convicting and changing impact upon our Prime Minister whose government also sponsored the 200 leaders Prayer breakfast at Mendana Hotel. The crowd of between 3000 plus people at the Public Official Launch were also greatly impacted our PM and the Body of Christ. It was also a blessing to have Jenny Hagger from Australia House of Prayer in Adelaide and Sue Rowe from Transform World Ministry in California sharing powerfully with the women of Melanesia…The Redeemed Cultural Festival was one of the Highlights when various groups of children and youth took the opportunity to showcase their redeemed culture and passion to serve God relevantly in their God-given cultures.
"GOD'S SET TIME FOR THE SOUTH PACIFIC.."
The Launching of the Solomon Islands House of Prayer was very significant because it releases three most important foundational structures to build His church upon.
(1) God is using Children and Youth to lead the way forward in this 'NEW SPIRITUAL WAVE' of PRAYER... WORSHIP..&.. MISSION. We must provide platforms for these two generations to lead the way under the anointed and called Adult Leaders to guide, to guard, inspire and lead them in faith and boldness.
(2) Children & Youth are the two generations that God will build 'HIS BODY' through because of their purity and passion in prayer and worship. The Adults are very denominationally focused, but Malachi 4:6 will be fulfilled in that..."the hearts of the fathers will turn to their children and children to their fathers."
(3) When the BODY OF CHRIST is fully function in PRAYER...WORSHIP...&...PRACTICAL MISSIONS throughout our nation in all area of life then we will see our nation blessed with.... (a) A GODLY GOVERNMENT... (b) RESTORATION & TRANSFORMATION taking place in our nation...

Young Christians have fun and develop their faith
The summer has seen a rash of events for new generations - here is an insight from some participants around the Diocese of Lichfield. While students of all ages enjoy the long break over the summer, many from churches and youth clubs around the diocese have spent a little of that time having fun and developing their faith. Over four and a half thousand young people from around the country gathered at Stafford Showground for the annual Soul Survivor event at the end of July; five days of exuberant worship, teaching, sport, food and culture. In contrast, the diocesan youth retreat centre, Dovedale House on the Staffordshire Moorlands is playing host to a much smaller and deliberately quieter event. Called Breathe, it promises quietude, time to meditate and escape from hectic term-times as well as a wide choice of activities. And no leaky tents!
Praise: God for Soul Survivor and all the other events throughout the summer that are designed to stimulate faith. (Ps.89:19)

Russian hotels to have a Bible in every room
With so much bad news coming out of Russia these days, it is surprising (and encouraging) to learn that this month, Russian hotels are to have Bibles in every room. According to Teresa Neumann of Breaking Christian News (http://breakingchristiannews.com), the first 6,000 copies of the New Testament and Psalms were installed this month in rooms of Izmailovo, one of the largest hotels in Moscow. ‘The move is supported by the government's Department of Tourism and Hospitality Management Department of the Moscow Government and the Commission with the Diocesan Missionary Council of the capital’, reports The Christian Telegraph. Dimitriy Pershin, the chairman of the Commission said, ‘Actually, in every European hotel, guests can find Bibles in the rooms. The Gospel is a book that has become the foundation of European culture. It is an essential feature of the respectful and hospitable attitude towards the guests, as well as an indicator of the cultural level of the owners of hotels.’
Praise: God for this initiative and pray that it will lead to more opportunities. (Ac.6:7)
