Thousands of Christians from all denominations will unite to pray for our nation on Australia Day. In support of this prayer celebration, the Hon. Peter Costello (former Federal Treasurer) will bring a special greeting to around 2000 Christians at Melbourne Town Hall on Monday 26 January.
In this era of economic downturn, the prayer meeting which brings together Christian leaders from many different denominations will be held from 10am to 1pm at the Melbourne Town Hall focusing on prayer for the Australian Government, the faltering Economy, Armed Forces, Farming Communities (and the need for more Rain), Unity of the Church and Christian Pastors / Leaders, the Media, Indigenous People, and the Youth generation, as well as general stimulation to the business sector.
 Pastor Danny Nalliah, President of Catch the Fire Ministries – an interdenominational Christian ministry, said he had specifically asked Mr Costello to bring a message to them on the day because he is ‘a man of integrity’.
“We wanted Peter to bring a special message to this gathering because he is a man of integrity who constantly demonstrates good moral values. He also is very genuine and loves his country. He’s a man who is willing to stand his ground for the truth. We’ve not seen him flip flop to please people, rather he is a man who stands for Australian values based on our Judeo Christian heritage,” Mr Nalliah said.
Following the success of last year’s Australia Day prayer meeting, including the subsequent rainfall across many parts of our nation in addition to the many other miraculous answers to united prayer, denominational representatives including those from the Baptist, Anglican, Presbyterian, AOG, Uniting, Pentecostal, Salvation Army, Catholic, and many other churches have decided to come together again once more on what is expected to be a historic occasion.
