BBC thinks Christians are ‘lunatics’ says presenter
The BBC has a mindset that assumes Christians are ‘lunatics’, one of its own broadcasters has said. Roger Bolton, former Sunday programme host, said a ‘liberal secular elite’ is dominating television. He said: ‘Just because somebody is against gay marriage or against IVF doesn’t necessarily mean they are a lunatic.’ Mr Bolton also thinks the BBC unfairly pokes fun at Christianity but would not dare with Islam. He said: ‘Other faiths do not have to put up with what Christianity has to put up with. ‘Muslims in particular ought to be mature enough in this country to take that humour. ‘Christians do have a right to say it’s about time that the satire which applied to them ought to be applied to others.’ Roger Bolton was speaking at the BBC’s Re: Think festival in Salford for an event called ‘Rethinking the God Slot. Mr Bolton has said in the past that BBC television executives are ‘secular and sceptical.’
Pray: God to raise up Christian men and women to work at all levels in the BBC including senior management. (Ro.1:16)

Mobilize! A Gathering of the North American Chinese
September 12-14, 2012, Fremont, California (www.11hourcall.org)
The Chinese carry a unique end-time mandate that has been hidden in the heart of God since the beginning of time: just as “Wise Men from the East” witnessed Jesus’ first coming to earth, the Lord desires to use the Chinese as His instrument to help awaken and prepare the Bride of Christ worldwide for the Lord’s return.
Over the past few years, God has begun gathering together Chinese believers of like heart and spirit in Asia in a journey to see the fulfillment of His kingdom coming and His will being done on earth as it is in heaven among the Chinese (Matthew 6:10). And by His sovereign design, God has also placed a seed of the Chinese into the soil of many nations, including North America. By right of bloodline, these Chinese believers carry the same mandate to sound the cry at the midnight hour heralding the Bridegroom’s return for the North American Church.
Today, the eyes of the Lord are roaming to and fro seeking a remnant who are willing to wait upon Him for His steps to unlock the destined purposes for the Chinese in North America. If your heart resonates with this end-time call and you are an established or emerging leader among the Chinese believers or you have a desire to stand with the Chinese in this hour, we invite you to join with other believers from throughout North America for the Mobilize Gathering in Fremont, California, September 12-14, 2012.
Calling for a 40-day fasting:
Pastor Imiel released this word on July 19 regarding this gathering:
The Lord says regarding North America Chinese gathering I want to emphasize that such a gathering will be a turning point in the North American Chinese. Such a turning point will transform the whole body of such churches. That’s why the enemy is resisting fiercely not to see such a gathering happening to the point that such resistance will increase more and more. But I need corporate fasting, otherwise if there is no room for corporate fasting, it should be postponed. But I will awaken many leaders in North America to rise up and seek my face. But such a gathering, as I told you, should be preceded with corporate fasting because there will be a breakthrough in North American Chinese churches says the Lord. Amen.
This is a key for transforming the North American Chinese. Pastor David felt “we cannot afford to postpone this gathering—I believe September is the time the Lord desires for this to happen, and we need to rise up and press through the resistance.”
As the Renewal Fellowship pastors sought the Lord regarding this, we decided to call a:
1. 40-day fast from August 4-September 12 to contend for the destiny of the North American Chinese.
2. Joint Prayer meeting August 20th, 7:30 p.m., at Amazing Grace Christian Fellowship, 7416 Victoria Dr.
Please join this fast in whatever way the Lord leads. This invitation-only gathering will take place at the Forerunner Christian church (39620 Sundale Drive, Fremont, California 94538) beginning Wednesday, September 12, at 7:00 p.m. and continuing with morning, afternoon and evening meetings through late in the evening Friday, September 14.

Is Iran Inviting Israel to Attack?
“Is Iran Inviting Israel to Attack? With its extreme rhetoric in recent days, Iran seems to be daring Israel to attack, either because Iran's leaders do not believe Israel is in fact prepared to attack and are calling its bluff or because they think an Israeli attack would fail to do significant damage to its nuclear facilities. Iran’s new threats come at a sensitive time when senior Israeli officials may be on the brink of deciding whether to attack. They will certainly influence Israel's decision, as will a forthcoming UN report that is expected to show that Iran's nuclear program is accelerating.”

Please keep the Iran-Israeli stand-off in your prayers. This is especially dangerous and could lead to a wider regional or even world war of great destruction. Let’s watch over this situation with vigilance.
