Australia's Hillsong Church is
launching its first U.S. congregation in New York City, with weekly small-group
meetings beginning Sunday night.
Known for its popular
worship music, Sydney-based Hillsong has planted churches around the world,
including in London; Paris; Stockholm; Cape Town, South Africa; and Kiev,
Ukraine.
A music minister long known for belting out powerful worship choruses from her wheelchair stood up and walked Friday for the first time in 22 years during a revival service led by former Brownsville Revival leader John Kilpatrick.
Delia Knox, a popular singer who pastors Living World Christian
Center in Mobile, Ala., with her husband, Bishop Levy Knox, had been paralyzed
since a car accident on Christmas Day 1987.
But a YouTube video shot during a revival service Friday night at
the Mobile Convention Center shows Knox telling British evangelist Nathan
Morris that she can feel his hands on her legs. As he and other ministers
continue to pray for her, she suddenly stands up from her wheelchair and later
walks across the platform as the crowd leaps and screams. (Watch video
below.)
The sister of kidnapped
heiress Patty Hearst once aspired to be an entertainer whose glamorous life
would be featured on the TV show Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous. But
today Victoria Hearst is a born-again Christian who says
she's "having way more fun" leading an evangelistic
ministry in Colorado.
Reared as a Catholic,
Hearst is the granddaughter of newspaper mogul William Randolph Hearst and
youngest daughter of Randolph Hearst. The family was thrust into the public eye
in 1974, when Hearst's sister Patty was abducted by domestic terrorists and
later accused of robbing a bank to aid them in their cause.

Authorities last week recovered the bodies of three Christian relief workers who had been kidnapped and killed by members of the Pakistani Taliban in the flood-ravaged country, area officials said.
Swat District Coordination Officer Atif-ur-Rehman told Compass that the Pakistan Army recovered the bodies of the three foreign flood-relief workers at about 7 a.m. on Aug. 25. An official at the international humanitarian organization that employed the workers withheld their names and requested that the agency remain unnamed for security reasons. Military sources who withheld news of the deaths from electronic and print media to avoid panicking other relief workers granted permission to Compass to publish it in limited form.
Prophetic minister Rick
Joyner said he believes President Obama "wants to know the real Jesus." But the
MorningStar Ministries founder is teetering in his own view of which faith the
president practices.
In a ministry blog
Monday, Joyner responded to a recent Pew Research Center poll that found 18
percent of Americans think President Obama is a Muslim—up from 11 percent in
March 2009—and 43 percent don't know what religion he practices.
When Thérèse was 2 years old, she cried to her mother that a snake had bitten her. By the time Antoinette Malombé reached her daughter, little Thérèse had already stopped breathing.
Antoinette lived in a remote region of Republic of Congo in central Africa where medical resources weren’t immediately available. Strapping her child to her back, she started running to a village where a family friend, evangelist Coco Moïse, was staying. When he prayed for Thérèse, she began breathing again. By the next day she was fine.
