Moriel Australian Margret Godwin AUSTRALIANnews June, 2011 Greetings in the Name of Jesus, As I set about doing these reports, I am blown away by how quickly the time has gone by. And to think here we are half way through 2011. It seems that it was only a few weeks ago that I was sitting down to Christmas Dinner. Maybe it is just old age. I just re-read the March issue report, as I didn’t want to repeat myself. I note I was talking about the terrible catastrophes that had affected Australia & New Zealand. Now we have Japan – surely the signs! I was talking to Nigel in New Zealand yesterday after we had received from Jacob an incredible slide report from the damage in Japan and could not help but remark to him that we humans certainly are a strange lot – whilst Japan, Christchurch, Australian Flood victims are still trying to overcome these tragedies we blithely go on our way almost as though it never happened. No front page reports, no upgrades, no appeals for funds/help. I recall when my dear Ross went to be with the Lord and the funeral was over and everyone went home I was sitting on the back step having a cup of coffee and noted that everyone was going off to work, the children off to school, the rubbish man came, the trains were running and so on and I thought to myself “how can all this be happening – my husband has died – my world is upside down! BUT that is human nature isn’t it? And the older I get the more we seem to have become almost shock proof. I have decided to consciously take a little more time to reflect on these things and to keep the victims on my prayer list – hope some of you can join me. Last Issue of the Quarterly Our last issue of the Quarterly (March) brought an unprecedented number of calls and compliments on the quality of the articles. Praise the Lord. Thank you to all those that took the time to let us know. Remember if you would like extra copies to give out or know of someone that would like to receive the magazine just drop me a line or give me a call. The Daniel Project Of course the other great interest is the DVD – The Daniel Project. This incredible documentary is readily available here in Australia and New Zealand. Orders can be placed on line at, www.thedanielproject.tv, and the goods are mailed out from Moriel Australia. Prices for Australia $28 and New Zealand $30. If you do not have access to the Internet or do not have a credit card, orders can be placed with our office. I must remind all those that purchase the DVD, it is under very strict copyright and must not under any circumstances be duplicated. Jacob’s latest Book The second part of the trilogy is on its way to Australia and will be available by the time you receive this issue. Shadows of the Beast is the second book, the first being Dilemma of Laodicea. These Books are priced at $25.00 plus P & H. You will find all the details in the new catalogue. Special Day Last week I was invited by a dear little friend of mine, Micah Harris to attend a V.I.P. Day at his school (Chairo Junior) at Warragul (here in Victoria) This wonderful Christian college is situated in the most glorious hills with views that have to be seen to be believed. Parents, Grandparents & friends were invited as a V.I.P. guest of each child. I was so impressed with what I saw at the school. The 2 hour get together began in the assembly hall where the children sang a couple of songs and then the compere announced that the children would be singing two hymns – these hymns were not meant as entertainment but worship unto the Lord who was No 1 in their lives, in their school and in their homes. The children then all stood up (guests invited to do the same) and began singing with all the actions. I was in tears - it was so beautiful! As I sat there mopping up my tears I could not help how overjoyed the Lord must feel when He looked down on those shining little faces. We were then taken on a tour of the school. All the rooms were beautifully turned out. There were Psalms & scriptures all over the walls and windows, along with drawings of the Lord’s wonderful creation. Even the gardens had a plaque acknowledging our Father God. We saw the sports area and my highlight was the “Chook House” which has a rooster and three hens. Talk about the Taj Mahal of Chook Houses! I have been reliably informed that these hens are prolific layers but the rooster can be a bit nasty and of course very noisy. Micah’s two brothers Noah & Josiah joined us. Their V.I.P was their mother Andrea and little brother Elijah. What a lovely morning – I really had the loveliest time. Thank you Micah. Pastor David Wilkerson I was so shocked when I got a phone call asking me if I had heard about Dave Wilkerson. How tragic! There are so very few good men of God left standing. Jacob & Pastor Bill Randles wrote lovely eulogies. I doubt that any Christian nowadays would not in some way been affected by the stand this man took in the things of God. I note his last blog posted on the day he died was such an encouragement to us all. I have just copied in a small portion; When all Means Fail, he encouraged those facing difficulty to “hold fast” and stand strong in faith. “To those going through the valley and shadow of death, hear this word: Weeping will last through some dark awful nights, and in that darkness you will soon hear the Father whisper, “I am with you,” Wilkerson wrote. “Beloved, God has never failed to act but in goodness and love. When all means fail – His love prevails. Hold fast to your faith. Stand fast in His Word. There is no other hope in this world.” You can read the entire piece on his website. 2011/2012 Resource Catalogue Well folks it has only taken eight years but we have done it. Yes a new catalogue! These cost quite a deal to publish so please look after them It’s time to draw this to a close. As usual I am running late Bless you, may the Lord keep you dear family until we come together again. In Christ, Marg 28 Moriel Quarterly • June 2011
Margret Godwin ambling o s e June, 2011 Rambling Rose Greetings Dear Family, I will bring you up to date with a wee report on things at HQ (Australia). Firstly we have had a big and I mean BIG clean out in the garage. Not one unopened box to be seen! Well, actually there are lots of boxes, but they have been opened and checked. Secondly, the office is the neatest it has been since “the day after the Lord rested!” I hope to have conducted tours shortly! Thirdly, after eight long years we have a new resource catalogue (well almost). What a headache! It is long overdue – so one must persevere. Unfortunately patience is not one of my strong suits. Pastor Bill Randles here in July We are getting very excited at the prospect of Pastor Bill’s July visit. You will find a full itinerary on the separate coloured flyer in your magazine. I would encourage you to get to as many meetings as you can. This man’s teaching is straight from the heart and not the head. What he shares is so very necessary for each of us in the end times. The overall theme for the meetings is “Back to the Cross via the Word” Try and bring as many family & friends along as you can. Also please pray that the meetings go well and for Bill’s family whilst he is away from them. Help us to save more babies Now to something more serious – last year Jacob introduced me to a ministry in Israel – Be’ad Chaim that takes in young girls/women who are pregnant – some contemplating an abortion – some raped – some thrown out of home – some left by their husbands and many other reasons. It is an outreach for women in crisis pregnancy and their unborn babies in Israel. Be’ad is a non-profit association that has made it their goal to help women with unplanned pregnancies. This wonderful organization takes these ladies in, looks after them, and shares the gospel with them. Gives them pre and postnatal care, counselling, practical assistance, and education. For the ones that decide to keep their babies they offer “Operation Moses” and according to financial need, an entire baby room (bed, stroller, bath, changing table and other accessories). They also, when able, give out monthly gift cards for nappies and baby formula throughout the babies first year. For obvious reasons (their security) we cannot give you the name and address of the organization but we are thrilled that through your generosity in monetary gifts and of course the profit that we make in selling our resource material we have been able to support them, and hope to do more in the future. Also through the lovely ladies that knit for us we have been able to send some twenty boxes of baby clothes, blankets etc. In one of the brochures I have here in front of me – just some of the horrendous facts; In Israel today legal abortion is available up until the 9th month of pregnancy. The Israeli Army offers female soldiers two free abortions. Please pray for these people as they undertake this heart-rending ministry. Gifts to the Ministry Quite a number of people have monthly and casual contributions to: • Pst Dave Royle and his wife Lyn • Ebyown Children’s Village • Missions • Moriel Administration • Feeding Program in the Philippines • Jewish Evangelism • Jacob personally We Praise the Lord for those who continually support the ministry in prayer – you are so faithful. We also thank all those that are able to help financially. We would encourage you to hold these needs before the Lord and if you are sending financial support make your checks payable to “Moriel Ministries” and kindly nominate if you have a particular area you would like your funds directed. We need to be wise stewards and as such seek the Lord for where He would have funds directed. We have a commitment to Ebyown and the work done there by Pastor Dave and Lyn Royle. Now for something a little frivolous! New Office Personnel We have some new personnel in the Moriel Office – yes we have some 20 beautifully colored fish (in a tank of course) I say twenty – they won’t stand still for me to count them. I had the tank set up beside my desk. I find them so very elegant in their dance and so soothing and calming. They don’t make a great deal of noise and are low maintenance. Having said that – two bright sparks who shall remain nameless – lifted Noah and Esther up onto a chair beside the tank. Essie doesn’t take any notice but Noah sits there absolutely drooling – thankfully he cannot get into the tank. Nothing like dining el fresco! Well dears “that is your lot” for this issue. Love to each and everyone of you In Christ, Marg Now for some extra thrilling news! A very dear friend of mine (my unofficially adopted daughter) Peter Leembruggen has just become engaged to a wonderful young man named John........(surname to follow)............................... I am so thrilled and everyone in Moriel offers them our warmest wishes for their future. The extra wonderful thing is that they’re moving to Melbourne after their marriage. I don’t know how Peta will cope with the change in climate – note I did not say Cold.! Peta is the second daughter of our dear friends Clive and Donna Leembruggen of Dalby. On top of that news, their other daughter Toni and her family are moving to Cairns. I can just see Clive and Donna constantly travelling the June 2011 • Moriel Quarterly 29
