Mrs. Bernie Guy, the leader of a Charismatic Renewal prayer group, St. Francis Rebuild My Church, invited fmi to conduct an Intercessors School for their members, parishioners and any other interested people. The teachings were well received by the many who attended. By the end of the seminar participants had a greater awareness of the importance of Intercession and a new understanding of its effectiveness.

There were hands on sessions which allowed each delegate to experience intercession in action. Sessions were never dull as the information Kaye was delivering hit at the very source as to why we should all be willingly available to intercede. She demonstrated the varying positions an intercessor may find themselves in but gave assurance that the intercessor is in control at all times.

It is recommended that you keep an eye out for the next intercessors school and make a point of clearing the way to attend. You will discover why you should pray that way, how it works, how it can become part of your life and how to protect yourself against any unwelcome influences which may try to interfere with your prayer life.

Pentecost was the perfect Feast Day to celebrate 30 years of Charismatic Renewal in Perth. Organised by the State Service Committee of WA, over 400 people attended the Jesus, Church, Me: Yesterday, Today, Tomorrow Pentecost 2001 Conference in Perth. Archbishop Hickey celebrated the closing Mass and shared his vision for the Church in Perth which was later reported in the Catholic Record newspaper.

His vision laid out a refocusing of evangelisation in Perth over the next ten years to stop the drift away from the Church. This vision contains new initiatives which are to look closely at what we are doing and what we need to do. A major part of Archbishop Hickey's vision is the idea that every parish should have an evangelising outreach to non-Catholics which would include all members especially the young. The Archbishop congratulated the CCR on it's presence during the past 30 years and encouraged a greater participation in the life of the Church.

The Keynote Speaker was Mr. Brian Smith who is a member of the Pontificial Council for the Laity in Rome. Brian's sessions focussed on the role of CCR since the II Vatican Council and how the Church had accepted and encouraged Charismatic Renewal since it began. For those who have not been in the CCR for long these sessions gave them a sense of history and belonging, giving them insights and encouragement for who they are and what they are doing in the Church.

Eddie's session called, The Gifts of the Holy Spirit: Power Tools for Evangelisation in the New Millennium, delivered a powerful and challenging message which established why God has raised up Charismatic Renewal in this century. His message called for a new realisation of what God intended through CCR and an encouragement not to be complacent or luke warm.

He also called the Charismatic Renewal to consider what they were doing in 1986 (as well as at other times) when millions of New Agers on every continent gathered with 144,000 Shamans, Witches and Witch doctors for a synchronised time of Yoga meditation called 'A Global Convergence' to usher in a new age of spirituality. His message focussed on the renewal of the renewal and particularly to stir up the Gift within you: The Holy Spirit is God's Power within you and His Supernatural Gifts are the Power Tools for effective evangelisation in this age.

Mr. Kevin Horgan, founder of the Bethel Community in Perth spoke on the Fruit of the Holy Spirit. The session was informative and encouraging and at times, challenging. He said that fruit is the clear sign of the outpouring of the Holy Spirit.

CCR Co-ordinator, and Bethel Community Elder, Mrs. Pam Carr spoke on personal holiness using many examples of daily life in her family. Inviting others to give a testimony, Pam showed that personal holiness is developed in the every day things of our lives.

Taking a different approach from what could be called a traditional conference, the SSC introduced a fellowship time which featured youth bands and entertainment. The idea was met with approval from the participants who enjoyed a time of relaxation, fellowship and music from several bands. People mixed, chatted, laughed and danced to some good old (clean) rock'n roll.

The Conference sessions also included presentations from the Disciples Youth Mission Team who performed dramas and skits relating to evangelisation and salvation. A video showing thirty years of CCR in Perth, which featured some wonderful testimonies of God's action in peoples lives, was produced and shown at the conference. The scenes shown on the video brought back many memories for many people. Music and worship for the weekend was led by the Flame Music Ministry (fmm), The Bethel Music Ministry and the Disciples of Jesus Music Ministry. The Holy Spirit of Freedom Community prepared the liturgy for the closing Mass which filled the centre to capacity.

The State Service Committee of the Catholic Charismatic Renewal Western Australia comprises representatives from Flame Ministries International, Bethel Covenant Community, Disciples of Jesus Community, the Holy Spirit of Freedom Community and the Parish based Prayer Groups.

All Souls Catholic Church, Peterborough, England.

Dear Eddie, So much has happened since SMPOF and this would be a very long E-Mail if I filled you in on all of it. But firstly I must say a big thank you for SMPOF. The teachings went very deep and even now, some seven years later, I still listen and learn from the tapes. Praise God, who else could use something spoken seven years ago and still give more insight - Praise you Lord.

To bring you right up to date. I am leading the prayer group at St Norbert's, the basis of which only formed some three years ago. We have around 20 members at present. The Lord has given us the water of His Spirit to kind of soak in over the past couple of years as people grew in the Spirit and learned how to praise. The Lord was constantly pointing us to the Water of the Spirit and we felt led to be called the Living Water Prayer Group.

Around the beginning of June (2001) God really took us out of our comfort zone and led us to open our doors to the local churches on our Tuesday evening meetings calling us to be Living Water. We have felt a very strong call to unity and to draw our brothers and sisters from other denominations together to praise and seek God. The response has been good, but we are only just at the beginning the Lord has so much in store for us. We now feel led to include intercessory prayer and teaching during the meetings as the Lord leads us. When you came to St. Norbert's you gave us the reading Isaiah 60:1-5. We feel this is now the start of this prophecy. It is so exciting to see what the Lord is doing.

I praise God for all the teaching I had from you, which was just a few months after I was baptised in the Spirit - God's perfect timing. May God continue to use you and Flame Ministries with great power. I just asked the Lord for a reading for you and opened at Job 26:1-4: 'How you have helped the powerless! How you have saved the arm that is feeble! What advice you have offered to one without wisdom! And what great insight you have displayed! Who has helped you utter these words? And whose spirit spoke from your mouth?'

May the Lord always provide your words! Much love in Jesus. Anne.

Set My People On Fire continues to bless many people.
The recent seminar at St. Dominic's Church in Innaloo which concluded in July was no exception.

People from several parishes and non-Catholic churches attended 16 weeks of in-depth Bible teaching which changed people's lives. The responses of the 40+ delegates to accepting Jesus as Lord and Saviour and the Baptism of the Holy Spirit was very enthusiastic and very powerful. The weeks also saw healings in many areas of people's lives. Cheryle Douglas, one of fmi's Intercessors, also had an opportunity to share her faith and knowledge for the first time in SMPOF during a session called "Break Open the Word". Cheryle's ability to sift and seek accurate Biblical information from the Greek and Hebrew texts made the session she shared with Eddie a real blessing for the people. Over the years SMPOF has been taught by Eddie and Frank. This year the seminar saw the introduction of Cheryle, Kaye and Steve. Kaye has taught sessions on Intercession and Effective Prayer for some time and Steve taught on The Motivational Gifts last year as well as this recent seminar. Along with fmm and this new teaching team, the seminar took on a fresh approach as the different personalities and styles augmented the subjects.

The Flame Office too small for current growth.

We NEED bigger premises to enable our growth. Since 1991 we have been fortunate to have the use of free office space for the ministry situated in Subiaco. Over the past five years in particular, it has become increasingly apparent that this is not able to cope with the growth of the ministry. In particular, it effects Steve's Counselling ministry due to a lack of privacy when seeing clients.

Due to this Eddie and Linda are not able to attend the office until after lunchtime allowing Steve privacy in the mornings. Consequently, Eddie and Linda often work late into the evenings to catch up on the days work. This becomes an increasing problem when there are seminars or outreaches in the evenings as it means that very little office duties can be done on those days.

This results in Eddie working over the weekends which becomes a greater burden when there are retreat weekends being conducted. The result is that work doesn't get done as quickly as would otherwise be possible and Eddie often works until after 2am to catch up. In addition, the office gets overcrowded when two or more extra people are needed to assist with mail-outs, office duties and computer work.

GROWTH:
Over the past ten years the ministry has grown with more members and functions developing according to its vision. From a part-time staff of three, the ministry now has over twenty members with three full time unpaid staff. For the past five years the current office facility has become inadequate for the amount of staff and privacy of various functions. In particular Senior Directors Board Meetings and Counselling Services. Office space alone has become a priority to enable the smooth functioning of Administration, Board Meetings, Counselling, Audio Tape Production, E-evangelism, Advertising, Graphics and Publishing.

PROGRAMME NEEDS: Internal & External.
With steady growth and development, fmi currently provide around fourteen ongoing Biblical programmes and seminars.

These programmes & seminars currently consist of: Set My People On Fire, Flame One, Intercessors Schools, The Genesis Factor, Youth Explosion Seminars, When the Spirit Comes, The Lord's Prayer Seminars, Understanding Blood Covenants, The Fruit of The Spirit, Angels & The Hierarchy of the Heavenlies, The Covenant Armour of God, The Holy Spirit & His Anointing, Finance Seminars, Annual Congress etc. And this does not include subjects and programmes developed for speaking invitations.

OUTREACH & FMI MINISTRY NEEDS.
fmi have six active and ongoing weekly ministries and outreaches.

These consist of: Weekly Youth Prayer Meetings, Weekly Charismatic Praise Meetings, Weekly Intercessory Prayer Meetings, Weekly Music Ministry Rehearsals, Monthly Ministry Development Days, Family Counselling Services.

These regular outreach and ministry meetings are spread over the metropolitan area:
Subiaco, Joondanna, Perth City, Balcatta, Yangebup, Girrawheen and Como and do not include other short term programmes such as the Set My People On Fire Seminars etc. Clearly, the need has become apparent to consolidate these ongoing programmes and ministry functions into one central place. The current status is inadequate, inefficient, costly and time consuming.

Solving practical problems: It has been a common experience thus far to find that venues have been double booked after fmi have booked well in advance. Keys have not been available on the day of programme functions. More than one function has happened simultaneously in the same place unbeknown to fmi at the time of booking. Hire costs have increased after regular use. On occasions these problems have caused fmi to send paying delegates home after arriving at the venues. Our own centre will avoid these situations.

Flame Revival Centre.
The Centre will function as a place of renewal and evangelisation.
The multi-fold function of the Revival Centre in the work of evangelisation will consist of consolidating all fmi programmes and ministries in one place, thus avoiding costly and unreliable venues which have been a problem over the past ten years.

The Centre will also provide a place for a more efficient function of our current functions plus those which we are not able to do presently: Permanent Administration Offices. Graphics Arts Studio for Publications & Advertising. Electronic Media Evangelisation. Secure Accounts Department. Private Christian Family Counselling Service Facilities. Weekly Revival Meetings [Sunday Evenings]. Weekly Prayer & Healing Services [Saturday Evenings[. Weekly Youth Meetings. Weekly Praise/Prayer Meetings. Weekly Music Ministry Rehearsals. Ongoing Programmes & Seminars. Training Programmes for Leadership & Evangelisation. Ministry Training & Development. Social and Spiritual Fellowship. Weekly Intercessors Meetings. Youth Outreaches & Training. Audio Tape & Video Ministry. Devotional Chapel. Daytime Groups and Seminars. Crèche and Children's Ministry, Retreats & Workshops. Annual Congress. Annual YouthFest. Theatre Arts.

Will a Flame Revival Centre stop parish, local or international outreaches?
The answer is simply, no. In fact it will enhance our ability to be more available to them due to the efficiency and stability that our own permanent centre will give us.

This is how we see it.

Is it possible? Yes through faith and the support of those who can see a value in such a vision. Prayer along with practical financial support will achieve what seems to be an impossible dream given our current financial status. We have already been blessed with a few people who donate regularly into our Building Fund. However, to realistically achieve this vision we need others to join them on a regular basis no matter if that support is large or small.

Because fmi is not a community or group, all our members have a specific function or job and therefore there is no general membership from which we can gain support. Our income depends entirely on the generosity of those who attend our public meetings or seminars, and of course these can vary according to the numbers attending.

An invitation to prayer.

As a reader or subscriber to this newsletter, we would very much appreciate your prayer support for this project. There is one special way that you can give us your support and that is by becoming a Friend of Flame. Take a look at the page and give it your consideration. We have recently found a block of land in a good area but to purchase it and construct the centre will cost around AUD$3 million [approx. $1.6ml USD]. However impossible that might seem to reach, your prayer and ours can acheive the miraculous.

Worm W32-SirCam@mm Virus. Do you remember seeing this message?

Hi! How are you?
I send you this file in order to have your advice.
See you later.

Thanks

Do you remember READING the attached file?
If the answer is "yes" to both, your PC is infected with one of the trickiest and most dangerous viruses that is taking the Internet by storm: Worm W32-SirCam@mm.

It comes with an innocent request for advice from someone that you know (message can be in Spanish). The attachment is a real file from a real person's PC. It might even be relevant to the field of interests of the person it came from. Because it rewrites the document title from your files or that of the senders files each time it sends it out, you will feel compelled to reply.

When you read the attached file, worm W32-SirCam@mm comes out of the document, goes in to your Windows registry and here's where the problem begins.

1. It looks in your PC for every file that is a Document (*.doc, *.txt), image (*.gif, jpg, etc.) compressed files (*.zip, rar).

2. It takes found documents, copies itself into body of text and sends silently to each and every E-Mail address found in your entire MS Outlook mail and temporary Internet files. Virus does not affect users of Outlook only, as it is using its own SMTP engine.

3. Reportedly it destroys documents and blocks Drive C: from writing anything on it, which is the main thing that Windows does; reads and writes from the hard disk drive. It also has the ability to send out your personal files, even passwords, credit cards, work-related, secret database; whatever you have that is not meant to be shared.

Is there any immediate cure for a PC infected with W32-SirCam@MM?
Yes. It is right here http://ipm.org/av along with some other information on this and other viruses. Run file http://www.sarc.com/avcenter/FixSirc.com to check and fix your PC.

Is there any precaution against this and similar viruses?
Yes. Never open attachments from people that you do not know. If indeed interested in the attachment, or it comes from a friend, always reply to the sender with the question "Did you send this to me?". If the answer is "yes", enjoy the file. If "no" just delete E-Mail and empty Deleted files folder.

Make sure to reply with the message that they may be sending a potential virus. When we did this we discovered a few people had already had their hard drives shut down. In one case in Thailand we were able to get in touch with their ISP who managed to get to them where we couldn't and fix the problem for them.
