Ps Fred Bartolo- Forward Movement

Pastor Fred Bartolo brings this great message of forward movement, and everyone in the room was excited.  Ps Fred is a funny and entertaining preacher and deeply affected the lives of many at Ignite by encouraging them forward in their healing, their walk with God and their Christian faith.

So Who is Pastor Fred Bartolo?

Pastor Fred Bartolo and his wife Mary have very different backgrounds.  Fred is an ex-Rugby League player who often found himself in trouble with the law , while his beautiful bride Mary lived in Brazil serving as a Catholic nun.  Both had a personal encounter with The Lord Jesus Christ and received Him as their Lord and Saviour at around the same time, but in different countries and under radically different circumstances! They eventually met in Malta and got married the following year, being ordained as pastors in 1993. Since then Fred Bartolo has served within Australia, but also around the world, notably planting fourteen churches in Chile and establishing outreaching church plants to several other South American countries. including Argentina, Brazil, Peru and Columbia, and Venezuela, as well as in their home country of Malta. Fred Bartolo is now an elder of Ignite Christian Church, and has a well recognised and beloved itinerate ministry throughout Australia.  We clelbrate his powerful ministry, and the wonderful effect both he and Mary have had in all of our lives here at Ignite, and we are excited about the future and what the Lord is doing in and through this dynamic couple! This message is one not to be missed!

YWAM Ministering

YWAM Music visiting... We had the joy of YWAM ministering to us at Coast Church last Sunday, so here is a recording of Gunnar's message and Alex's song... YWAM’s Music & Worship Discipleship Training School is an experience of a lifetime. Encounter God, make new friends, take part in missions, and find purpose as you minister with your music. The Music & Worship DTS is a 5 month long program created to strengthen your relationship with God while finding purpose in the field of music & worship ministry. This school is specifically for singers & musicians and those passionate about supporting musicians in ministry (photographers, sound engineers, graphic designers etc). If you are a singer or worship leader but don’t play an instrument, you are still more than welcome to be a part of the school!

For Such a Time as This- Melva Kajewski

Melva Kajewski shares her heart and challenges us to stand firm in these dark days, for we have been placed here for such a time as this. We live in days that seem darker than ever before, especially with the types of moral decisions our country is making, but Melva suggests that we are here, placed in this nation, for such a time as this! So Melva urges us to take our eyes off the circumstances, off the moral decline and political correctness we now are subjected to, and see the truth that we can be part of a shining light to our generation! So if you are perplexed or discouraged by the world in which we now live, listen to this message and be encouraged that it is no accident that you are here, in this place and at this time, such a time as this...

Responding to Islam- Kevin Davis

Kevin Davis shares an exciting and topical presentation on how we as Christians should be responding to Islam.

Not Reacting but Responding to Islam

Kevin reveals some of the historical background of Islam, and how the Koran points to the person of Jesus Christ.  He encourages us to love and pray for our Muslim brothers and sisters all around the world so that we can make a difference, and he shares exciting and up to date information on how the Spirit is moving among Islamic populations across the world drawing them to Jesus. Across the Western world, people are reacting to the threat of Islamic militants with fear from the common man in the street right through to the highest level of government. So how should Christians be responding to Islam, and how should we as a church extend our love to Muslims around the world? The truth is that most Muslims are not terrorists, and they are not actively seeking the demise of Christian churches.  Most Muslims are just like you or me... wanting to live a great and productive life, caring for their families and striving to live at peace with those around them.  The trouble is that the militant arm of Islam is giving every other Muslim a bad name! And in the middle of all this, God is doing incredible things amongst Muslims. As Christians, we must choose the right and godly way of responding to Islam, with a message of love and hope rather than fear and condemnation. Kevin encourages all those who know the Lord to pray for Muslim countries and pray that they are not only blessed but also that Muslims will seek to know the one to whom there are nearly 90n references in the Koran, Jesus Christ. This incredibly insightful and topical message, a must for every believer who loves the Lord and wants to see the world won for Christ, really got us excited at Ignite!
