In anticipation of God’s guidance and protection in 2026, while many are setting goals for the year – we would love to bring to your awareness upcoming events and conferences which could set up your year beautifully with wonderful teachings, ministry time and more.
Before we alert you to those events, we want to bow our heads in sorrow at the memory of the terrible event in Sydney. The massacre at Bondi on the first night of Hanukkah, 14th December, shocked Australia. ICEJ grieved with the Jewish community and sent out a statement the next day expressing our grief and horror. Some ICEJ team members had the moving opportunity to join the large groups of people standing in solidarity at the Bondi Pavilion and lay a wreath on your behalf.
Four days after the Bondi Massacre our team attended the deeply moving Hanukkah candle lighting at The Great Synagogue in Sydney with His Excellency Amir Maimon (Israel Ambassador to Australia), with Jews and Christians standing together in a moment of deep national mourning, was powerful.
COMMONWEALTH ROYAL COMMISSION
ICEJ was privileged to initiate and spearhead on behalf of other Christian organizations an Open Letter to the Prime Minister to call for a Commonwealth Royal Commission. We delivered the letter with an overwhelming response of over 460 signatories within 48 hours, and 100’s more flowed to our second round of Christian pastors, business owners and leaders across our nation. Please read the full letter below.
BONDI ATTACK
We will soon be making a donation to the most needy families and victims of the Bondi massacre. Please consider a generous donation today to either of our AID accounts, including our tax deductible aid account.

GLOBAL PRAYER WATCH
At ICEJ, we believe prayer is the engine of our ministry and should touch every part of what we are doing in Israel and around the world! We want you, our partners, to engage with us in prayer via our multiple prayer initiatives throughout the month and make the maximum impact in praying for God’s land and His people in these trying times.
With the constant threat of attack, the rising witness of Antisemitism and the devastation left behind in the lives of so many across Israel and globally – now is the time to gather in prayer and uplift the nation of Israel.
At the 2025 Oceania Prophetic Conference held at the end of August, I spoke on the Biblical Importance of Israel. If you haven’t had a chance to view it, please click below.
