On November 1, 2005 - Council workers from Brisbane City council informed us thatfrom now on, we are not allowed to preach / witness / hand out tracts in the Brisbane cityarea.If we continue to do so, we will face fines up to $5000!After consulting with godly counsel we have decided that we will continue to preach, andcontinue to witness as it is our freedom in Australia to do so.Also we will be fighting this law, already we have a Barrister that can and will defend usfor free, and also our local member of government is on our side, saying we havefreedom.Saints we need your prayers. Legally we are allowed to share the gospel of the LordJesus Christ, anywhere in Australia. But the enemy is seeking to close that down.Please pray for us, and the battle we are now engaged in, also if you have Christians youcan forward this to, please do as the more praying Saints the better.Thanks!Your Brother in ChristJosh Williamson

Brother in Christ God will not be stayed. He is a God of Victory and all the machinations by man that seek to undo what God said should be, shall come to nought. Our God is not a sissy God he is The Almighty. I am sorry to hear this but I personally vow that Brisbane will be in my prayers tonight. May the Lord God be with you, on your side in this battle and may he bless the counsel that you will get from the Barrister. Kindly update us on your progress as we go. Do not be afraid for God is on your side.Psalm 23
Brother,This is alarming but not shocking for it happened before and will happen again. Here are a few quotes from the salvation army history:"In one year alone -1882- 669 Salvation Army soldiers were knocked down or brutally assaulted. 60 buildings were virtually wrecked by the mob...""When salvationists dedicated their children in the 1880's, they were told: You must be willing that the child should spend all its life in the Salvation Army, whenever God should choose to send it, that it should be depised, hated, cursed, beaten, kicked, imprisioned, or killed for Christ's sake."
