Allan WeatherallAbout the Author:
Allan Weatherall is editor and publisher of Worldview Interactive magazine. Based in Melbourne, Australia, Allan is a part-time missionary and inventor, freelance graphic designer and writer. His ministry to Africa since 1996 has deeply effected his view of the world. He says that seeing faith in a different cultural context helped him obtain a "triangulation on the truth" for what the New Covenant is all about. As a consequence Allan desires to see the Western Church drop its 'cultural baggage' and embrace a truly Biblical faith based on love, truth and mercy towards our fellow man.

Adventures with God eBook ADVENTURES WITH GOD Adventures with God is a 97-page selection of deeply personal and inspiring true accounts from the life of the author and publisher of Worldview Interactive magazine. Rich in testimonies of miracles, Adventures with God takes you on inspiring journeys from rural Australia and the quiet and leafy suburbs of Melbourne, to the Holy Land of Israel, the Middle East and to the bustling cities and rebel-ravaged villages of Africa... and beyond. As well as being an entertaining and thought-provoking read, it also offers personal spiritual insights from lessons learned along the way. Is this How Democracy Dies?Editorial Comment Regardless of one's opinions on climate change, regardless of one's opinions on whether a policy of a carbon tax is a good idea, and regardless of whether or not you believe this policy will deliver beneficial environmental and economic outcomes or not, there is one thing about this policy that the Australian Federal Government is pushing on the Australian people that should concern us all: It shows utter contempt for democratic process. The defacto-Prime Minister of Australia, Julia Gillard, did not get a majority vote from the Australian people at the last election. Not only did she seize power from popularly elected [Christian] Prime Minister, Kevin Rudd in his first term of office, Julia Gillard then went to the Australian people at the last election promising emphatically and categorically that under a government led by her there would not be a carbon tax. We believe that the office of Prime Minister of Australia calls for a higher standard of integrity than this. The Steadfast Faithfulness of God
My mind was overwhelmed with questions: Why had God let it come to this? Where was He? Had He forgotten to be faithful? Had He forgotten that the whole reason that I was in Uganda was because He had so clearly called me? Had He forgotten that I loved Him and wanted to serve Him? What about His promises? How did I get into this situation? How could I be here in Africa to serve Him and completely run out of money? Where was all of this abundant provision that I hear so much about?
Reflection on Kevin Rudd's Betrayal & Australian Politics
I am ashamed to say that have spent much of my adult life in mild political apathy. But the invasion of Iraq and what we were being told about it jolted me in a way that I never expected. I realised that I didn't want to live in a world where our leaders could tell us lies and then send our sons and daughters to some far off land to serve as canon fodder for an unjust cause. I didn't want to be part of a country where our armed services would use high-tech weapons to drop bombs from high altitude on defenceless civilians below while our TVs showed us carefully selected footage of laser guided bombs blowing up "strategic" targets. Something was happening to me. I was beginning to care about politics.
How I Captured Osama
It was my first opportunity to spend any reasonable length of time in an Arabic speaking country, but the Lord had definitely planted a desire in my heart to reach out to Muslims. Six months earlier, before I even knew that I would be traveling to Egypt, I had obeyed a prompt by the Holy Spirit to begin to learn Egyptian Arabic. The little that I learned came in very useful and helped me to develop and instant rapport with complete strangers who were both very surprised and delighted (and sometimes amused) to hear a foreigner attempt to speak to them in their own language. Whilst I was in Egypt I met two very key people... one was a lovely Christian woman by the name of Hanan, whom I met by providence at the library in Alexandria. She and I became instant friends. The other was a thief... a one-armed man by the name of Osama.
Why We Seek Donations on this WebsiteIf you spend time looking you will find that there is a lot of free content on this website and we have spent a LOT of time and money in this ministry (literally tens of thousands of dollars). It would be nice to recover some of our costs, but we would also like to know that the people who appreciate this content are also prepared to make a small committment to us in support of what we are doing. In 2004 we launched this website and the printed version of Worldview Interactive magazine. We distributed 20,000 free copies of Issue One throughout Australia and followed up with Issue 2, which we sent to subscribers in Australia. We distributed the remaining copies of Issue Two for free in Africa. We estimate that the total readership of these two magazines would be many tens of thousands of people, and our website has consistently been getting thousands of visitors per month. The Seasons of Life
Every day is filled with opportunities. We have opportunities to engage in the pursuit of personal goals and ambitions, opportunities for pleasure and recreation, for work or business pursuits, to touch the lives of others and bring them inspiration and hope through the gospel, opportunities for learning and discovery... the list could go on and on. But amidst the busyness of life, it’s aIways a good thing to take time and periodically pause and be a little introspective about your life. From time to time I ask some fundamental questions about what I am doing on this earth.
Dealing with Spiritual Abuse: An Open Letter to the ChurchA few days ago I was having a discussion with a colleague about the growing problem of spiritual abuse in churches and Christian organisations... and about the difficult topic of conflict resolution in general.
There seems to be an increasing number of people in the Church suffering as a consequence of unfair treatment they have received, and there appears to be very few options open to these people if the mechanisms within those organisations fail to deliver a just outcome for those who have been wrongly treated.
