Mark Jobe – Extended Report
https://www.RestoreMBI.com/Mark-Jobe-extended.htm
https://www.RestoreMBI.com/Mark-Jobe-extended.pdf
This
appointment of Mark Jobe is a really big and stupid mistake by the MBI board of
trustees who are all highly under question for covering the hostile Jesuit
take-over of Moody Bible Institute starting around 1980 under Jesuit Erwin
Lutzer’s directions and protection. This appointment of Mark Jobe shows that
they do serve the Jesuits and must be removed. Three of the members of the
Search Committee are known Jesuits or member of OFM (Franciscan) Father Dimitri
Sala’s clergy network – these three are Greg Thornton, Mark Wagner, and James
Meeks and their appointment Mark Jobe is also a member of OFM Father Dimitri
Sala’s Jesuit network. At least four other members of the search committee were
known by us to be covering up the Jesuit take-over and/or assisting the
mentoring of people like Mark Jobe and his friends (John Palmieri for example)
and co-pastors. But this decision by their committee and the board implicates
all of the board members completely as complicit with the alteration of Moody
campus by Jesuit operations toward a “peace” and “unity” future under the pope.
Mark
Jobe has his doctorate in Transformational Leadership for the Global City from
a University that is in direct partnership with the Lausanne Committee and the World
Evangelical Alliance. Lausanne serves the purpose of the Vatican II council
bringing all religious and government authority under the directorship of the
Pope and Vatican. The Lausanne Movement is the Protestant branch of the 1966
Vatican II council established by Billy Graham under the disguise of world
evangelism, but is actually proselytizing on behalf of the Catholic Church to
rule over all religion including over genuine believers in Christ. World
Evangelical Alliance is in direct alliance with the World Council of Churches
and Pontifical (Pope’s) Council for Promoting Interreligious Dialogue which
actually just means a one-world religious system led by the Pope for the future
anti-christ (short-lived) kingdom. Global City is terminology being used for
giant metro-plexes that represent all of the elements of the new world order
(and far too many people in too small of a space) necessary for one world
government “peace” and “unity”. Jobe’s partners in founding his New Life Centers
were Chuck McWherter, Ray Bakke, and John Fuder. John Fuder was Professor of Urban Studies at Moody Theological
(still adjunct professor) and now is Director of City Engagement for Matt
Heard’s church Park Community Church (founded by Moody Church). This is where
our knowledge enters the story from Orlando, because Matt Heard was The Moody Church Pastor of Singles and Evangelism
before founding Park Community. But now he is in Orlando as Lead Pastor of
Northland Church whose senior pastor Jesuit Joel Hunter resigned after
partnering with and welcoming the homosexual community from the aftermath of
the Pulse night club shooting/false flag. Joel
Hunter has led the spiritual mafia in Orlando to change all of the churches
toward this Global City new world order “community”. He is one of the largest
spokespeople in the Interfaith Networks in Orlando and he has reached the
highest levels of spiritual leadership around the world - United Nations (Alliance of Civilizations), World Evangelical Alliance (board of directors), Global Islamic Forum (Doha, Qatar with
the U.S. Central Command), and more than a dozen others. Joel was also
spiritual advisor to Barack Obama alongside Jesuit Rick Warren and T. D. Jakes.
This is a deeply evil network that your board of directors has chosen to
partner with in appointing Mark Jobe.
Mark
Jobe is a long-time member (since before 2007) of Franciscan (Jesuit) Father
Dimitri Sala’s Chicago clergy network alongside Jesuit Erwin Lutzer, Bill
Hybels, James MacDonald, and James Meeks (who is on the MBI board of trustees).
Mark Jobe is a long-time friend of Ed Stetzer (since around 2008 or before) who
is Regional Director for North America for the Lausanne Committee. And Ed
Stetzer is Billy Graham Distinguished Chair at Wheaton College in place of
Billy Graham (who has passed away last year) who was the founder of the
Lausanne Committee starting in 1966 in Berlin, then with the Lausanne Movement
in Switzerland in 1974. Mark Jobe is a long-time friend of Alderman Edward
Burke who is Jesuit trained since high school and through DePaul University
College of Law and a member of Knights of Columbus (Jesuit founded
organization). Mark Jobe is comfortable standing side-by-side with more than a
dozen of the highest level Jesuits and prominent Catholics in Chicago in their
pretend leadership of record-breaking pro-life movement in Chicago (March for
Life 2015). And Mark Jobe both used and promoted the 2019 interreligious
(literally pro-Islamic, pro-Buddhist, pro-Catholic) curriculum Explore God Chicago
to fellow pastors and 800 Chicago churches. Mark Jobe is a prominent
spokesperson for observing forty days of fasting (Lent) in Chicago churches
leading up to Easter since at least 1994.
Mark
Jobe was raised in Spain and Costa Rica as a missionary son. Spain claims to
have two-thirds Catholic adherents and Costa Rica still has Catholicism as the
official state religion. Mark Jobe is happy to be called “Father Mark” and for
people to thank him for “Mass”. And he is trying to force Moody Bible Institute
to get used to being considered almost identical to a joint monastery/convent
except that students are allowed to get married their senior year (said in his
Founder’s Week 2016 speech introduction). All of this inescapably shows him to
be acting as a Jesuit. So the board of trustees has replaced Jesuit Greg
Thornton with Jesuit Mark Jobe who has his doctorate in Transformational
Leadership for the Global City with the intent of moving Chicago’s Christian
community toward New World Order under the Pope. This was a very serious and
damaging decision by the Board of Trustees. This is the Board of Trustees who
chose Jesuit Greg Thornton to cover up the destruction done by his
predecessors. Now this appointment shows that they know and understand the
agenda of the Jesuits and they choose to appoint this type of leadership
knowing that this is entirely against the work of Evangelist Dwight Moody who
considered the Word of God as the authority for Christian life. Erwin Lutzer,
Greg Thornton, Ed Stetzer, and Mark Jobe consider the Pope to be the final
authority/power in the Christian life and to accomplish the kingdom of “god”,
but they know that they serve the devil by assisting the Pope in gaining
authority over the world evangelism/missions community of one of the last
strong and bold hold-outs to Roman Catholic dominance – the Moody Bible
Institute. This is not the kind of leadership that Moody Bible Institute needs
to recover from the Jesuit attack being made. And this puts the rest of Chicago
and the missions network of Moody Bible under dangerous leadership for trying
to serve the One True God in very difficult places around the world, where the
people are also being forced under Catholic and Free-mason run governments. We
hope that those who love Moody Bible Institute and would hate to see it crumble
under Vatican schemes and fall under Jesuit/Vatican control will hear our
request for help in this struggle of information and truth versus deception and
power-plays by Jesuits/Freemasons. Please take the time to read and consider
carefully all of the research and statements and collaboration that is behind
this move by the Board of Trustees. We hope you can find the patience to endure
the painful reality that our research shows an evil intent behind much of the leadership
of Moody Bible Institute and historic Church at this moment in history.
Let's Talk with Mark
Elfstrand - October 19, 2018
Moody Bible Institute
has been praying for months about a new president. They found him in their
virtual back yard. Pastor Mark Jobe discusses his
new role. Ed Stetzer offers
cautions on what is okay and not okay for social media posts.
https://omny.fm/shows/lets-talk-with-mark-elfstrand/lets-talk-with-mark-elfstrand-october-19-2018
What
we are about to prove with tall stacks of evidence is that Mark Jobe has been
built for this task since at least the year 2000 by Franciscan Dimitri
Sala’s/Erwin Lutzer’s Jesuit network in partnership with Chuck McWherter and
Ray Bakke’s Vatican II Lausanne network and Ed Stetzer, Dave Ferguson and their
Leadership Network friends. In every article or conference program that we
quote below, we have made emphasis of the names of their friends (bold and
larger letters for these names). Here is the list of names to be watching for: Ray Bakke, Ed Stetzer, Dave Ferguson, Chuck McWherter, Joseph Stowell,
John Fuder, Charlie Dates, Wilfredo (Chaco) DeJesus, Bill Hybels, James Meeks,
James Ford,
and many others. These are proven members of the ecumenical OFM Father Dimitri
Sala/Dr. Erwin Lutzer Vatican 2 Lausanne network in Chicago. If you are still
hoping there will be transparency and integrity with the new leadership, notice
what is being discussed regarding The Moody Standard just a month after Mark
Jobe became the new President.
Moody Bible Institute to Stop Publishing Student Paper
CHICAGO (RNS) — After 84 years,
Moody Bible Institute no longer will publish a student newspaper.
https://wordandway.org/2019/05/08/moody-bible-institute-to-stop-publishing-student-paper/
This
serves two purposes: first, shutting down information to honorable donors who
would not support the wrecking of their beloved Moody Bible Institute; second,
shutting down an avenue to acquire new honorable donors who would keep an
atmosphere of accountability on the leadership and board of trustees who are
doing this to Moody Bible Institute under the disguise of financial hardship.
The truth is that the Jesuits have caused the financial crisis at Moody in
order to reshape it how they want to reshape it. They create the chaos and they
provide the solution. It’s a classic method of Jesuit take-overs.

Moody Bible Institute Names Megachurch Pastor
Mark Jobe New President Following Controversy
WEDNESDAY,
OCTOBER 10, 2018
By Stoyan Zaimov, Christian Post Reporter
Mark Jobe, the founding pastor of New Life Community Church in Chicago,
has been named the new president of Moody Bible Institute, more than half a
year following major controversy.
“With the appointment
of Mark, the Search Committee and Board of Trustees firmly believe the Lord answered
our prayers and those of everyone who have faithfully stood with us these last
six months,” said in a press release on Tuesday Randy
Fairfax, the Board of
Trustees chair.
“His clarity of
vision, humble nature, passion, and strong track record of ministry growth will
bring a palpable energy to the Moody family. Coupled with his commitment to the
Scriptures, personal integrity and prayerful approach, he will foster unity,
trust and drive us forward in our mission to equip people in the truth of God’s
Word to impact the world for Christ,” he added.
As the press release
points out, Jobe is an alum of Moody Bible Institute, and has international
missions field experience. He founded New Life Community Church in Chicago when
he was only 21, and has seen the church grow to include more than 5,000 members
and 27 locations, reaching eight cities outside the U.S. as well.
Notice
Elfstrand’s and Fairfax’s comments that the Search Committee and Board of
Trustees seemed to find Mark Jobe by accident in their own backyard. We intend
to prove thoroughly and soundly that Mark Jobe has been mentored and trained by
Franciscan Father Dimitri Sala/ Jesuit Dr. Erwin Lutzer and by Vatican 2
Lausanne Committee network and The Leadership Network specifically for this
very purpose, though it seems that the need for his type of leadership came
faster than they had hoped. What type of leadership is that? Mark Jobe’s
doctorate at Bakke Graduate University is in Transformational Leadership for the Global City, while his dissertation
topic is:
Restarting Sacred Spaces: A Development of an Approach to
Restarting Sacred Spaces in Urban Centers
Jobe, Mark E.
DMin
2012
Chancellor
Ray Bakke and his school are direct partners with Vatican II Lausanne Committee
and with World Evangelical Alliance. His brother Dennis Bakke (Board of
Directors and former faculty) is CEO Emeritus of AES Corp in Arlington, VA, a
past leader in global energy before the Enron scandal. Dennis Bakke’s
co-founder and Mormon friend Roger Sant has attended Bilderberg Group (1991 and
2006) and many other secret think-tanks in the global corporate take-over of
the world’s economy such as the Energy Productivity Center, Smithsonian
Institution, World Wildlife Fund, Marriott International, and a post in
President Ford’s government for the Federal Energy Administration. Dennis has
also held government positions (working with Colin Powell) in the Federal
Energy Administration, Department of Health, Education, and Welfare, and Office
of Management and Budget, as well as with the Energy Productivity Center for
Mellon Institute. Dennis Bakke is also a member of the C-Street satanic
Fellowship in Washington D.C. that educates top government criminals how to act
“Christian” and partners with literal dictators around the world for the
purpose of blaming the abuses of world government on American “Christianity”.
Their brother Lowell Bakke is Professor of Pastoral Studies at BGU. So this
tells you the level of leadership we are talking about here, unless you are
unfamiliar with the Rothschild’s and Rockefeller’s usurping of all authority
around the world through their economic sabotage.

Bakke Graduate University Financial Update – April 2019
April 30, 2019
BGU has had an amazing year with new students, new courses, and
unprecedented involvement by graduates leading significant initiatives in the largest evangelical networks in the world - The Lausanne
Committee for World Evangelization and the World Evangelical Alliance.
BGU now has over 65% of its students
outside of North America.

This
Lausanne group was founded to control all Protestant evangelism world-wide to
fit Roman Catholic criteria. It was started in Berlin, Germany in 1966 in
conjunction with Vatican II council completion and implementation the same year
(completed Dec. 08, 1965) whose purpose was stated to be the “restoration of
unity among all Christians” – in order to begin to merge all activities of
“Christians” world-wide under the same guidelines and (secretly) under the
Vatican Jesuit mafia directorship. Because of that, Lausanne’s own documents
admit that together they were able to control or influence all evangelism
activities world-wide in the last quarter of the 20th century and afterward.

Lausanne
III - Cape Town 2010 held in collaboration with the World
Evangelical Alliance (WEA)
WEA, WCC and Vatican launch historic
joint document on ethics of Christian Mission
June 28, 2011
The World Evangelical
Alliance (WEA), the World Council of Churches (WCC) and the Vatican’s Pontifical Council on
Inter-religious Dialogue (PCID) have released an historic document on the ethics
of Christian mission – Christian Witness in a Multi-Religious World: Recommendations for
Conduct.
The document was launched on June 28, 2011, by Dr. Geoff Tunnicliffe, Secretary
General of the WEA, Dr Olav Fykse Tveit, General Secretary of the WCC, and
Cardinal Tauran of the PCID, at the headquarters of the WCC in Geneva,
Switzerland.
This historic document is the result of a five-year collaboration of the WEA, WCC and the
Vatican who together represent over 90 percent of the world’s total
Christian population. This is the first document of its kind in the history of
the Church.
It
is false to suggest that Christians are represented by these organizations who
use Catholic bully tactics to control everything for their own selfish gain and
for the Pope. But now you can see the type of leadership that directs Bakke
Graduate University where Mark Jobe obtained his Global City Transformation
doctorate. In other words, Mark Jobe’s task is to complete what Dr. Erwin Lutzer
and Father Dimitri Sala OFM started in the 1970’s of trying to collect a strong
“conservative” ecumenical, multireligious authority or collection of
“community” (Sacred Space) in Chicago that will reshape how world communities
work. That new approach is intended to be a more secular humanistic approach to
religion that encourages all beliefs to merge into a one-world religion with
one “god” – the Roman Catholic Church and its “higher power”, the devil. Some
would want to see this unity under one “god” as an attempt to bring everyone to
belief in the One True God, but that would be deception. If you look at our
report on Erwin Lutzer’s friendship with Dimitri Sala OFM and our report on the
Explore God Chicago 2019 project (promoted by The Moody Church and by Mark Jobe
and New Life Community Church and Billy Graham’s Vatican 2 networks), you will
see that they intend to invite Skepticism (Atheists), Islam, Hinduism, Sikhism
(a merge of Hinduism with Islam – fastest growing religion in the world),
Buddhism, Mormonism, and most importantly Catholicism into the spectrum of
“diversity” (as Mark Jobe refers to it).

Father
Dimitri Sala OFM and Dr. Erwin Lutzer (both are Jesuits) and their partners
lead the venture, just as similar Jesuits like Joel Hunter, Bishop John Noonan
and Bishop Thomas Wenski, Reverend Bryan Fulwider, lawyers John and Ultima
Morgan, and their friends are leading the effort in Orlando. We have seen this
process first hand. The Interfaith Networks and Jesuits and Freemasons run
almost all of the churches in Orlando and Chicago at this point, as evidenced,
for example, by the fact that the “Explore God” project was participated in by
more than 800 churches in Chicago.
If right now, you
are not preparing someone, then by default, you have set yourself up for
failure. -Mark Jobe
https://leadership.lifeway.com/2017/10/13/best-quotes-pipeline-2017/
Erwin Lutzer’s Jesuit
Lausanne network did not fail to prepare someone for the next phase – Mark
Jobe. We want to show this on four levels.
Level one: After graduating from Moody Bible Institute in 1984 with a diploma
in Communications, Mark Jobe was convinced by a pastor to stay and reach the
city of Chicago. In 1986, after graduating with a Bachelors Degree in Biblical
Studies from Columbia International University, he became senior pastor of New
Life Community Church. Mark completed his Master’s of Arts in Ministry at Moody
Theological Seminary in 1998. Mark Jobe’s fellow pastors (Fifteeen of 28
pastors) have been trained by Moody Bible Institute and Bakke Graduate and
similar education to partner with him in this project. As the time got closer
to putting Mark Jobe in as President of MBI, The Moody Church and Moody Bible
Institute both had Mark Jobe speak at their biggest conferences in 2013, 2016
or 2018, and 2019. Jobe’s driving strategy is the advice given him by that
pastor who convinced him to stay in Chicago – “The nations have come to the
cities. If you reach the cities, you reach the nations.” In other words, assist
the new world order kingdom of “god” in controlling the unruly, ungodly nations
of the world by spreading American “democracy” with Catholic (Universal)
“Christian” authority.
Level two: Mark Jobe has been mentored
by Chuck McWherter since the year
2000, which is significant because McWherter has been involved in Chicago’s
ecumenical networks with Ray Bakke and the (Vatican II) Lausanne Committee with
since at least 1976. Ray Bakke
became Chancellor of Bakke Graduate University (BGU) where Mark Jobe would obtain his doctorate (2012) in
Transformational Leadership for the Global City (meaning Chicago). Ray Bakke
was the Senior Associate for Large Cities of the Lausanne Committee from 1979 until
1995. Ray Bakke, Chuck McWherter,
and the Lausanne Network helped Mark Jobe establish his New Life Centers in
2005. Mark Jobe in his dissertation names Ray
Bakke as his mentor, which we know also because of Bakke’s relationship
with McWherter and because of the 2005 mutual partnership in John Fuder’s A Heart for the City
simultaneous to Mark Jobe founding his New Life Centers in 2005. A brief look
at Dr. John Fuder’s fellowship of friends from MBI/MTS and the ecumenical
networks makes the whole picture make sense. John Fuder is former Professor of
Urban Studies at Moody Theological
Seminary (still is adjunct faculty) and now is Director of City Engagement
for Park Community Church founded by
Matt Heard who served under Jesuit
Dr. Erwin Lutzer as The Moody Church
pastor for Singles and Evangelism. Erwin Lutzer has maintained close
association with daughter church Park Community. This is where our knowledge
comes into the story, because Matt Heard took over as lead pastor of Northland Community Church (now
Northland Church) in Orlando from Jesuit
Dr. Joel Hunter after more than three decades of Joel ruling over the
spiritual mafia in Orlando/Central Florida which he still does quietly. Joel
Hunter was spiritual advisor to Barack Obama alongside Jesuit Rick Warren and
T. D. Jakes among others, and Joel reaches every level of leadership of the
spiritual mafia all the way to the level of United Nations (Alliance of Civilizations), World Evangelical Alliance (board of directors), Global Islamic Forum (Doha, Qatar with
the U.S. Central Command), and more than a dozen others. These all partner with
the Vatican leadership and/or Pontifical Councils in many ways.
Level three: Dave Ferguson, Tony Danhelka,
Erwin Lutzer, and Mark Jobe have been members and leaders of ecumenical Chicago
Pastor’s Networks built by Franciscan
Father Dimitri Sala and Tony Danhelka and continued by Phil Miglioratti. Tony Danhelka and
Dimitri Sala built this network in Chicago after Tony had learned how the interfaith/ecumenical
networks operate in Argentina working in 1997 with Ed Silvoso brother-in-law of
Luis Palau who partners closely with
Erwin Lutzer and Moody friends on a lot of “revival” partnerships. Luis Palau
is intimate friend of the current openly Jesuit
Pope Francis as both of them grew up in Argentina are in top leadership of
religion in Argentina which is
heavily Jesuit controlled and
harbored/hides the Nazi networks and
knowledge (even Adolf Eichmann
hid there) from the European
experiment between World Wars.
Phil Miglioratti has directed Dimitri Sala
and Erwin Lutzer’s Pastors Network since around 2008 as he was Lausanne Committee National Coordinator
for the Loving our Communities to Christ (LC2C)
initiative and also founder/director of the National Pastor’s Prayer Network. And within a year or two, he
became Chief Operating Officer of the Lausanne Committee’s Mission America
Council now called The Table Coalition.
Mark Jobe was educated by the Lausanne network at Bakke Graduate University mentored
by Ray Bakke himself, and Ed Stetzer (perhaps through Phil Miglioratti’s
contacts) became International Lausanne Committee’s North America Regional
Director. This is important history, because of the long friendship between Dave Ferguson, Mark Jobe, and Ed Stetzer, though Stetzer was not a
member of the Chicago Pastor’s network but was in Tennessee working for LifeWay
Research. Also in 2008, Stetzer was teaching at Reformed Theological Seminary
with Dr. Joel Hunter and has known
Joel Hunter since when Stetzer was in seminary. It is interesting to see how
these multiple networks began to partner as early as 2007 or before. The
President of Bakke Graduate University is Brad Smith who is former President of
the Leadership Network (inspired by Peter Drucker) and carried out by Jesuit
Rick Warren and Lutzer’s friend Bill
Hybels.
Dave Ferguson has served the leadership
and board of directors of The Leadership Network since around 2009 and
partnered in a conference (2008) and contributed in writing leadership
materials and conversations and promotions of the organization before that
(2003-2006). Also remember that Mark
Jobe’s mentor Chuck McWherter had partnered with Ray Bakke since 1976. Dave Ferguson is a long-time friend of
both Ed Stetzer and Mark Jobe since
around 2007/2008 or before, and in 2007, it was Mark Jobe who invited Dave
Ferguson to join OFM Father Dimitri Sala’s network, which means Jobe was
already a member by that point. Mark
Jobe has spoken at Leadership Network Conferences (2011, 2014) and
contributed to their training literature in 2011. And Ed Stetzer wrote a comprehensive study on Church growth in America
in partnership with The Leadership Network and Warren Bird in 2007.
Level four: Mark Jobe has spoken at or
is scheduled to speak in more than 20 Conferences and Radio talk shows with Ed Stetzer, Dave Ferguson, and others
from this network in Chicago since 2008. Mark Jobe contributed to a book in
2005 with Ray Bakke, Joseph Stowell,
James Ford, John Fudor, and Michael
Rydelnik. And Mark Jobe has endorsed or been endorsed by this network
dozens of times since then in books and radio and has been consulted as an
expert in religious social discussions with the Catholic and Jesuit ecumenical
networks many times alongside Ed
Stetzer, Dr. Erwin Lutzer, James Ford, Charlie Dates, John Fudor, Wilfredo
DeJesus, Dave Ferguson, Bill Hybels, Dr. Bill Thrasher, and others. Mark
Jobe is proud to sound like a Catholic and he is willing to partner with the
highest level of Chicago Jesuits and Catholics as they grant him a position of
authority in their pretend game of controlling the Protestants (which they call
“protecting” the faith and “proselytizing”).
Mark
Jobe is a long-time friend of Alderman Edward Burke who is Jesuit lawyer and
friend of Jesuit Donald Trump as well as Knights of Columbus (powerful Jesuit
financial organization that rules over many cities including Chicago). The
other interesting aspect of this relationship with an Alderman is the fact that
Aldermans have the direct influence of zoning and a powerful access to the ear
of the Mayor Rahm Emmanuel who also has freely discussed the future of Chicago
and “community” with Mark Jobe as a friend. Do not expect changes in that
regard with Lori Lightfoot as mayor. Politicians are all talk and they owe
their power to these powerful networks; they always act like they serve the
actual citizens of the city, but their friends are the Freemasons and Jesuits
who run the city. That is the only way to become a mayor of an influential
city, even more true if you become mayor of a giant sprawling mega-plex shaping
toward becoming a Global City. Mark Jobe also had the ear of Mayor Rahm
Emmanuel because of these relationships.

For the past 32 years,
Dr. Jobe has served as the founding pastor of New Life Community
Church in Chicago. The
church has grown from a handful of people to approximately 7,000 meeting at 27
locations throughout the Chicagoland area and in eight cities internationally.
He is also the founder of New Life Centers,
an organization focused on helping youth in underserved areas of Chicago. He
and his wife, Dee, have three adult children.
Dr. Jobe holds a diploma
in Communications from Moody Bible Institute in Chicago (1984), a Bachelor of Arts Degree in Biblical
Studies from Columbia International University, a Master of Arts in Ministry
from Moody
Theological Seminary in Chicago
(1998), and a doctorate in Transformational Leadership for the Global City from
Bakke Graduate University.

LEVEL TWO:
The
next seven items show an interesting history behind the relationship between Mark Jobe, Ray Bakke (former Chancellor of Bakke Graduate University),
and Chuck McWherter (elder pastor in New Life Community Church),
and John Palmieri who credits Dr. William Thrasher (Professor of Spiritual
Formation at Moody Theological Seminary) as his mentor. The other name Mike Berry is also a senior pastor at New Life and has been a member specifically
in Franciscan Father Dimitri Sala’s network with Erwin Lutzer. The reason all
of these relationships are interesting together is that Mark Jobe founded a
young contemporary church with separate campuses to fit the various sectors of
Chicago’s population and has managed to adapt this method of church growth to
fit even old spiritually lifeless churches to make them seem full of the Holy
Spirit again. That’s where Chuck McWherter and John Palmieri come in using the
vibrance of New Life (notice the subliminal messaging in the name) Community
Church to prop up their old fading churches while they also act as mentors to
Mark Jobe in how to corrupt as many Chicago churches toward secular humanism
and ecumenical multi-religion without being too noticeable in lacking the Holy
Spirit in this “new” direction.
Excerpt
from the acknowledgments Mark Jobe made in his dissertation:
My band of brothers -the New Life
Pastoral Team: I cannot think of any group I would rather be a part of. You
have fought by my side, sacrificed with joy, dreamed big dreams together and
loved Jesus and his mission passionately. My friend Dr. Julius Wong Loi Sing:
Your insights, global perspective and enthusiasm for this project gave me the
push that I needed. Thank you for giving me time during your busiest season. My
Friend Chuck
McWherter: You restored my confidence in an
older godly generation. You have have done more to help New Life restart
churches than anyone I know. I want to be like you when I am 80. My friend John
Palmieri: Your example and camaraderie gave
me the extra motivation needed to complete this dissertation. We have been
studying and learning together since we were roommates in 1502 Culbertson Hall.
My assistants Linda Wasso and Michelle Chambers: You patiently and persistently
helped with the interview process. My mentor Dr. Ray Bakke:
You have taught me to look with new eyes at history, to be grateful for
influences that have shaped me and to embrace the city with new wonder and
resolve. My New
Life Coaching Pastors Kevin Buursema, Mike Berry and
John
Palmieri: You are truly gifted and equipped to
be coaches of pastors. Your willingness to invest in the lives of leaders has
made me want to give you better tools to work with.

Fired up about what's been torn down
February 2008
I added two more
churches to my non-comprehensive list of churches that have closed since 1995
in the Lincoln Park, Lakeview, Logan Square, Wicker Park, North Center and
Humboldt Park community areas
of Chicago.
One closed church came
up in a conversation with Chuck
McWherter, a long-time leader
at our Lakeview/North Center church location (he's been ministering there since
1946!). Chuck was sharing with me about the founding of an organization
to reach the emerging Spanish-speaking residents of Chicago back in 1976. The meeting involved Ray Bakke and bunch of
other Chicago pastors.
https://caffeineplease.typepad.com/caffeine_please/2008/02/fired-up-about.html
From 1959 through 1979 Dr. Bakke pastored
inner-city churches in Seattle and Chicago. During that time he also co-founded
the Seminary Consortium for Urban Pastoral Education (SCUPE), and taught Bible
at Trinity College and Church History at McCormick Theological Seminary.
Between 1979 and 1989 he served as Professor of Ministry at
Northern Baptist Theological Seminary in Chicago.
He served as Senior Associate for Large Cities with the
Lausanne Committee for World Evangelism from 1979 to 1995. It was in this capacity that Dr. Bakke
had the opportunity to either lead or serve as a major resource leader for
urban ministry consultations in hundreds of large cities around the world.
https://www.regent-college.edu/faculty/part-time-and-visiting/ray-bakke
https://www.bgu.edu/about/history/
https://www.bgu.edu/about/lausanne-covenant/
So
we see that Ray Bakke was involved in 1976 with Chuck McWherter in ecumenical networks to resolve church problems in Spanish-speaking
areas of Chicago and three years later was Senior Associate for Large Cities
with Lausanne Committee and travelled to “hundreds of large cities
around the world” from 1983 to later 1990’s working in these networks under the
disguise of gathering data for World Vision. World Vision is one of only FIVE
organizations in the United Nations with full consultative status on ALL topics
pertaining to the United Nations worldwide, along with World Health
Organization, UNICEF, and U.N. High Commissioner for Refugees, and International
Labor Organization of the United Nations. World Vision has acted as a mass
data-gatherer for the world government since its beginning starting with the
Korean split and following. Lausanne Committee assisted in all of those efforts
toward world government. Here is their tribute to Ray Bakke’s years of service
in their operations, followed by Chuck McWherter’s story and John Palmieri’s
story:
Christianity
was first and foremost an urban movement. However, for much of the history of
the Church that has not always been true (Conn and Ortiz: 39-43). In June 1980,
a fresh missiological movement with the large cities of the world was born in
Pattaya, Thailand during the Lausanne
Consultation on
World Evangelization. The Lausanne Occasional Paper that documented the
launching of this fresh movement and the subsequent consultations undertaken by
Ray Bakke under the auspices of World Vision are witness to those initiatives. That 1981 Occasional Paper
dealt with the urbanization of the world at that time. It looked briefly at
some biblical material, but gave the majority of space to effective, emerging
strategies in the major urban regions. In reflecting on those initiatives,
Samuel Escobar later wrote, “Bakke contributed more than anyone else to create
this (present) awareness.” (1990:24)

New Life For Dying Churches
By Bob Smietana F or years, Galilee
Baptist Church was a vibrant evangelical presence on Chicago’s North Side. The
500-member strong congregation had one of the largest Sunday schools in the
city and a thriving missionary program overseas. Then, a little at a time, the
church slowly declined. New people stopped showing up. Old members died off or
moved away. By the late 1990s, Galilee was a church full of empty pews, with a
handful of people hanging on. “We tried to reach the neighborhood,” says
longtime member Chuck
McWherter, “and we just couldn’t do it.” But
then the church merged in 2000 with New Life Community Church, a multisite
congregation that specializes in church restarts, and the people started coming
back. Today, about 200 people worship at the church on Sundays, including young
families and a stream of visitors. The music is different—an eclectic mix of
guitar, drum, and cello that McWherter describes as “lively”—and the name has
changed, to New Life West Lakeview. But the mission remains the same. McWherter
spends Sundays as a greeter, shaking hands with newcomers. It’s the best job in
the world, he says. “I am thrilled to see what God is doing,” says McWherter.
New Life West Lakeview is one of a small but growing number of churches around
the country that have experienced new life after years of decline. Some are
joining up with church plants or with larger congregations. Some have found new
life after rediscovering the stories of past ministry. Others have been
jump-started by denominational revitalization programs. All, says Mark Jobe, senior
pastor of New Life, have discovered that God loves to breathe new life into old
things. “God has a fondness for restoring things He has used in the past,” says
Jobe.

Shall We Hold 'em or Fold 'em?
Sam Hamstra | April 6, 2015 | 0
On June 15, 2014, the
Park Place Baptist Church in Montgomery, IL was a 147 year-old American Baptist
congregation with a dwindling membership, insufficient resources, a pastoral
vacancy, a baptismal filled with church records instead of water, and a tired
remnant of dedicated members.
In October 2015, after
months of prayerful deliberation, the Park Place Baptist Church settled on this
option: they would become a legacy church. In other words, they would hand over
their facility, properties, and all assets to another congregation. That
decision eventually led them to New Life
Community Church of Chicago,
a thriving ministry led by Pastor Mark Jobe. New Life employs a “One Church – Multiple Congregations”
model. At that point, New Life had twenty congregations scattered across
Chicagoland.
Pastor Jobe was invited
to meet with the group, accepted the invitation, and the two groups began a
conversation. On Wednesday, November 5, the same twenty Christ-followers who
began the discernment process unanimously agreed to ask New Life Community
Church to enfold them as their newest congregation. If New Life would accept
their invitation, Park Place would turn over the keys and all assets to New
Life Church.
On Sunday, March 15,
2015, Park Place Baptist Church opened its doors as New Life
Community Church – Montgomery,
with Pastor John Palmieri
as pastor.

Doctorate at Bakke Graduate University
(2012) in which he acknowledges Dr. William Thrasher as his mentor. John Palmieri and Mark Jobe were
dorm-mates at Culbertson Hall and obtained their doctorate at Bakke the same
years – and both completed in 2012.
WILLIAM D. THRASHER (B.S., Auburn University; Th.M., Th.D., Dallas
Theological Seminary) has served on the faculty of Moody Bible Institute since 1980 and on the graduate school faculty
since 1990, where he oversees the Master’s Program in Spiritual
Formation and Discipleship.

It
is possibly this relationship with John Palmieri and Dr. Bill Thrasher that got
Mark Jobe the chance to do a Missions and Evangelism Lectureship at Thrasher’s
alma mater – Dallas Theological Seminary in 2009.

This
next part is an interesting set of relationships for the inspiration in Mark
Jobe founding his New Life Centers that shows what the end-game is for their
type of community. We know this first-hand because we live in Orlando with Walt
Disney World’s false “community” paradigm that has swept up the leadership of
all of the churches here through the efforts of Jesuit Dr. Joel Hunter and his
network. If you were still hoping that Mark Jobe’s network of friends is not
inviting the LGBT community and Catholics and Atheists and Buddhists and
Muslims to fellowship with Mark Jobe in his new Christian community Sacred
Space, then you really need to see the partnerships with the Orlando Jesuits
and understand what has happened here in Orlando. Level three continues to show
Mark Jobe’s partnership with John Fuder. And how was this guy ever allowed to
be a Professor in Urban Studies at Moody Theological Seminary? Because of
Jesuit Erwin Lutzer’s “spiritual guidance” and oversight of the operations at
Moody to fall under the Vatican powers. John Fuder has dragged the Moody family
into the largest remaining unidentified-as-being-interfaith networks that exist
in the United States. The following links are from John Fuder’s own page, but
if you don’t know how the ecumenical network exists and maintains, then you
will not be able to understand why these names and organizations are
significant. We have shown a small amount of who Ray Bakke is, and we intend to
show who (CCDA) Noel Castellanos and John Perkins are in brief. But you will
have to look up and do your own research on the U.S. Center of World Missions
and Perspectives course and their relationships with the Council for National
Policy, Campus Crusade for Christ, Wycliffe Translators/Rockefeller Summer
Institute of Linguistics, Los Angeles Theosophical Cult and James Dobson’s
Focus on the Family, and literally the highest levels of strategizing and
controlling interests in almost all of the world’s missions agencies on behalf
of the Lausanne Committee and Vatican II council.

Dr. John Fuder leaves 17-year legacy of urban evangelism at
Moody Bible Institute
With
a vision for outreach and a zeal for equipping the saints, John Fuder, Moody
Theological Seminary (MTS) professor of urban studies, leaves a legacy of 17
years.
Serving
with Moody since 1994, Fuder initiated the urban studies program on the
graduate level. It evolved as he connected graduate students with ministry
internships in the city.

When I first moved to Chicago over nine years ago the first
person many told me I needed to meet with was John Fuder. I was told over and over again what
an insightful and compassionate man he is. After meeting with him many times
over the years I can only say—those were understatements. John loves the city
and sees the city through a compassionate, hospitable, and gospel grid. He has
been able to make alliances when others have not. He is trusted where many
others are seen with a cautious eye. He wades in where many are hesitant.

Now
let’s talk briefly about John Fuder’s
partnership with Noel
Castellanos.
Noel Castellanos who is long-time Board member and then President of John
Perkins’ (CCDA) Christian Community Development Association served on Barack
Obama’s faith-based council starting in 2009, the same year Noel Castellanos
partnered with Professor Dr. John Fuder to write their A Heart for the
Community: New Models for Urban and Suburban Ministry – Moody Publishers, May
1, 2009. Castellanos was also a contributor to John Fuder’s book in 2005 A Heart For The City: Effective Ministries To The Urban
Community, which we will discuss in a minute after we talk about Mark Jobe’s
New Life Centers.
2009https://books.google.com/books/about/A_Heart_for_the_Community.html?id=ObiNeq39bU0C
https://chosenrebel.me/2017/10/27/ending-rascism-rethinking-the-suburban-church/
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H9ima-Bz8wU
Mark
Jobe created New Life Centers in 2005 and Little Village Urban Life Skills
(ULS) in partnership with New Life Community Church to help assist the
surrounding community toward becoming his ideal community, while also assisting
really challenging problems that are costly and harmful to community. It is
easy to respect the fact that they are helping real people toward a better
temporal earthly life, but we must not forget who is directing this effort and
where they are directing it. Notice the similarities to Christian Community Development Association (CCDA) founded by John Perkins in 1989 in partnership with Lawndale
Community Church in Chicago. There is a reason for the similarities, which we
will demonstrate in a minute (open partnership since 2009). John Perkins, Billy
Graham, and Bill Bright were co-chairs of the 1995 founding of Vatican II
Lausanne Committee Mission America Council now called The Table Coalition. Perkins is also a long-time friend of John MacArthur at Grace Community Church
in California since the days of civil rights protests and the assassination of
Dr. Martin Luther King Jr and Perkins was mentored by MacArthur’s father Jack MacArthur as well as by Billy
Graham. Also notice the fact that all of these churches are named “Community”
Churches as part of the wave of seeker-friendly movement founded by Peter
Drucker and carried on by Bill Hybels
(The Global Leadership Summit) and Rick
Warren (Purpose Driven Community) and many others. The intent all along was
to create a false “Christian” community led by the idea of “unity” between the
American “church”-led society tolerating the sinful evil works of darkness
(within the church rather than outside the church where it should remain) where
American “Christian” democracy is ruled by the Vatican and extends their
“god’s” “freedom” and “liberty” and “justice” to all. And the followers of
Jesus are lulled to sleep thinking that this partnership is good and safe and
is God-given authority (it is usurped authority, not God-given) mass-producing
“salvation” and bringing God’s kingdom. It is actually just building the
devil’s kingdom for one world government under the anti-christ in partnership
with the harlot of the Roman Catholic church and her “higher power” – the devil
who is full of lies.
To this
day, New Life Centers continues in its culture of creating programs that
address expressed neighborhood need and empower neighborhood involvement,
rather than the normal social service pattern of initiating programs based on
funding availability.

Incoming Moody president hopes to give historic Christian school
a ‘restart’
October 17, 2018
Jobe, who founded New
Life Community Church as well as New Life
Centers of Chicagoland,
is no stranger to Moody.
He hosts “Straight
Talk” daily on Moody Radio Chicago, authored “Unstuck: Out of Your Cave Into Your
Call” with Moody Publishers, studied communications at Moody Bible Institute at
age 17 and earned his master’s degree from Moody Theological Seminary.
He came to Moody Bible
Institute from a small agricultural town in Spain, where his parents were missionaries.
He was overwhelmed by the city, he said, but not long after he arrived as a
student, he received some advice that has stuck with him: “The nations have come to the cities. You reach the cities, you
reach the nations.”
He plans to bring that
same approach back with him to Moody.
Jobe spoke with RNS on
Monday (Oct. 15) about what drew him back to Moody, how American evangelical
institutions have struggled with
diversity and how his
experience has prepared him for this role. This interview has been edited for
length and clarity.

This 2005 John Fuder book (mentioned above)
is one of the most interesting collaborations to look at, considering the
relationship between Moody Professors
and Joe Stowell and influential
graduates of Moody Bible Institute (we didn’t highlight those who are just
graduates of Moody and not also a professor), Ray Bakke and his Lausanne Committee friends, three top leaders of
John Perkin’s Christian Community Development Association (CCDA), and two future leaders of Franciscan Father Dimitri Sala’s Pastors Network in Chicago – Joe
Stowell and Mark Jobe. This partnership
goes back to 2005, the same year that Mark Jobe (who is one of the
contributors) founded his New Life Centers and the year in which Joseph Stowell
left the Presidency of Moody Bible Institute to join another member of Father
Sala’s network James MacDonald. This
is one solid piece of evidence of the Pope’s power over the Chicago ecumenical
network which includes far too many of Moody Bible Institute’s friends and
leaders. This group also includes Connie Mead who is Jesuit-Loyola educated
like Jesuit Erwin Lutzer is. Many of the contributors were speakers at the 1998
Moody Founder’s Week – the year that Mark Jobe graduated with his Master’s of
Arts in Ministry from Moody Theological Seminary. A plan was already in place
at this point, we believe, for Mark Jobe’s future leadership at Moody after
some alterations were made to its structures to be ready for his
Transformational Leadership for the Global City.

In 1982, Dr. Bill Bright,
founder of Campus Crusade for Christ®, was burdened by the lack of the
ministry's involvement in the inner cities of America.
So, with this
mandate, Here's Life Inner City® (HLIC) was born in 1983 in New
York City. Branches of the ministry opened in Los Angeles in 1989 and Chicago
in 1990. The Orlando ministry opened in 2000.
Today there are ministries in 26 cities — 12 with full-time Cru staff teams and
14 operated by affiliate partners. Milton Massie
serves as the Executive Director.

LEVEL THREE:
Definition
of a “Gatekeeper” given by people who seem to be gatekeepers themselves.
Whereas Clark’s definition (the first of the three comments below) is accurate
up to the last point, in truth, these gatekeepers serve the highest levels of
power and money in religion who are controlled by the highest religious
organization of power and money – the Roman Catholic Church. We know this about
gatekeepers/ Freemasons/ Jesuits first-hand having met and studied many of them
and their networks and hidden “knowledge”:
Secular humanists gatekeepers may be
statist apologists controlling information or propaganda aired on radio,
television, or within public schools and universities. There are also religious
gatekeepers. Some of these are leaders of various churches, denominations,
Bible studies, or owners of radio stations, television stations or Christian
publications.
Religious gatekeepers are most dangerous
because they have a form of godliness yet stand against the power of the Holy
Spirit to change lives.
A gatekeeper is one that controls access into a territory or stands guard at the entrance of a city. As already said these gatekeepers fight against the truth of the gospel of Christ and the ministry of the Holy Spirit. Often these gatekeepers carry a religious spirit with visible traits. When we talk about gatekeepers with religious spirits we are not talking about religious denominations or institutions such as the Catholic Church because religious spirits can be in any organization.
https://www.jonasclark.com/discerning-religious-spirits-gatekeepers/
I once followed the faith of the 5%[The
Nation of Gods & Earths]& they believe that 85% of the worlds
population are ignorant of the truth of their existance, That the 10% who are
in power know the truth & actively hide it from the masses,& that they
are the 5% who know there is a higher truth out there & actively seek knowledge.
In their view FreeMasons are the “gatekeepers” those who you must “go thru” to
aquire higher knowledge.”
http://www.masonforum.com/viewthread/2736/
GateKeeper (Door) Guides are like protector guides, but for
the Spirit World.
These
guides offer physical and psychic protection to all spirit communicators - only
allowing higher vibrational energies and the most appropriate spirits to work
with you.
Note
the names in this list of “Gatekeepers”, because many of them are close friends
of Moody Bible Institute and Mark Jobe and Erwin Lutzer. Right away in 2007,
after being introduced to Dave Ferguson, they began to meet at his church CCC –
Community Christian Church. Dave Ferguson was invited by Mark Jobe – a founding
member. This group began in 2004, one year before Mark Jobe joined John Fuder’s
network of friends and founded his New Life Centers on the Lausanne model for
Global Cities outreach and “community”. Tony Danhelka might be Baptist, but he
also seems to be Pentecostal based on his membership in Rick Joyner’s
organization. Tony founded the networks with the guidance of Jesuit Franciscan
Father Dimitri Sala after partnering in Argentina with Ed Silvoso of Harvest
Evangelism. Silvoso is the brother-in-law of Luis Palau who partners with Moody
leadership and particularly Erwin Lutzer on many partnerships for “revival” and
“evangelism”. The reason this training for Tony Danhelka is so important to
notice is that Argentina is entirely ruled by Jesuits and is the network that
harbored the Nazi networks away from prosecution (including Adolf Eichmann)
after World War 2. This is the same Jesuit network who brought us the current
openly Jesuit Pope Francis who is a life-long friend of Luis Palau as both are
native-born Argentinian and top leadership of religion in Argentina.
A couple years ago Tony Danhelka pulled
together a group of eight key spiritual leaders in
Chicago and called them Gatekeepers. In the group was Bill Hybels, Erwin Lutzer,James Meeks, James McDonald, Mark Jobe, John Eckhardt, Carlton Arthurs andWilfredo DeJesus.
Friday was the first time I met with these guys. We met at Crusaders Church and will continue to meet once a quarter with the next meeting at CCC. I don’t feel at liberty to say everything that we talked about. They probably don’t know I have a blog and would kick me out if I started publishing minutes from our meetings!
http://www.daveferguson.co/gatekeepers/
Phil
Miglioratti is the man who took over the leadership of these groups after Tony
Danhelka and Fr. Dimitri Sala founded them (seemingly around 2008). They all
partner together right up to the present – 2018 at least. Phil is an educator
on Prayer and City and Community Transformation – the same education that Mark
Jobe has. Since around 2007 or before, Phil
Miglioratti is National Facilitator for Cities and Communities for the Lausanne Committee Mission America
Council now called The Table Coalition.
He also became Chief Operating Officer for Lausanne MAC/The Table and was a
U.S. delegate to the 2010 Lausanne III CapeTown in partnership with World Evangelical Alliance. Phil
Miglioratti also is co-chair of the interfaith
program ExploreGod Chicago, curator of EngageChicago.net. Also, we note the
fact that Dimitri Sala lies when he says he started ecumenical leadership
networks in 2006, since these groups were founded starting in 2004 under his
inspiration and nudging.

It is also interesting to notice that Tony Danhelka’s church was

and bizarre demonic behaviors at church as well as lying prophecies and false
healings and a long list of other problems. http://pdfcdn.morningstarministries.org/e-journal/2012/E-Journal-Vol.22-No.7.pdf

Also
notice John H. Armstrong’s
friendship with Phil Miglioratti. Armstrong Adjunct Professor of Evangelism at Wheaton College is a long-time friend
of both Franciscan Dimitri Sala and of
Dr. Erwin Lutzer.
Another key leader in
the MAC is Pastor Phil Miglioratti. Phil lives nearby and spends a fair share of time hanging out
with me as his brother. I support his ministry personally and believe he is the
finest facilitator of prayer I have ever met. I heartily endorse his mission
and work. Because of my love for men like Paul [Cedar] and Phil , for the work
of MAC and a number of other leaders in this movement, I wanted to share in the
recent Orlando meeting.
The Orlando meeting
was structured something like the Cape Town meeting.
http://johnharmstrong.com/cape-town-orlando-and-the-kingdom-of-god/
We
noted this information on our report on Erwin Lutzer – the group includes Bill Hybels (resigned Pastor of Willow
Creek Church), James Meeks (who is on the board of trustees at MBI), James
MacDonald
(trouble-making friend of Joseph Stowell and Jerry Jenkins), Mark Jobe (who speaks at conferences
at MBI and is now President), Joseph Stowell (former President of MBI), Wilfredo DeJesus (interreligious leader with NHCLC) and several other influential
“Christian” leaders in Chicagoland as they call it. This group of G11 “pastors”
was built based on Father Dimitri Sala’s suggestions to Tony
Danhelka.
The organizing partner writing this blog (and actively involved in organizing
after Tony Danhelka handed it over somewhere around 2008) is Phil
Miglioratti COO of Lausanne Committee Mission America Council (now called The Table Coalition) whose co-chairs were Billy
Graham, Bill Bright (Campus Crusade for Christ), and John Perkins (founder of Christian
Community Development Association in Chicago). So if you haven’t read our report on Erwin
Lutzer, you really should. But even just this one piece of information should
show you that Erwin Lutzer is not a friend of the Christians at Moody Bible
Institute and Church. He is literally partnered with a Franciscan monk and a
Vatican II Lausanne agent (COO of Lausanne Mission America Council) in
conquering and trapping the Christians under Rome’s fourth reich. Erwin Lutzer
did a brilliant job attempting to rephrase Adolf Hitler’s third reich as
something other than a complete conquering of Europe by the Jesuits and Vatican
for the one-world government and one-world religion of the anti-christ. It was
entirely a Jesuit operation. Why would he do that? Oh, right, because he is a
Jesuit who has a MASTER’s in PHILOSOPHY from the JESUITS at LOYOLA U. (the
school is literally named after the founder of the Jesuits – Ignatius Loyola)
and a completed Doctorate from them as well except that he didn’t complete his
dissertation in hopes of avoiding being known all these years as being a Jesuit
through and through. That is how he can partner with Franciscans and Vatican II
change agents. Read Edmond Paris’ book The Secret History of the Jesuits or do your own research and
you will see the power struggles of the Catholic Church to make every attempt
at destroying a Jewish one-world government that is not in the process of being
built. The current fake Jews-rule-the-world farce has been created by the Fords
and Rockefellers and Rothschilds and Vatican to divide and conquer the Jewish
people and keep them away from sincere conversations with servants of Christ
who together effect the only remaining hindrance to a totalitarian anti-christ
kingdom of the future. The Vatican (remember the “Holy Office” of the Inquisitions and the “Crusades”
(“Holy War”).
Yeah, well, that was taken over in the 1500’s by the Jesuits. You literally are looking at
the network that just hasn’t quite been able to conquer the whole world on
behalf of the pope and anti-christ just yet. But they already possess all of
the technological tools at hand to make the entire world suffer (Inquisitions)
when not in compliance which they will do as predicted by God and to which God
will powerfully respond in the second half of the Tribulation buying time for
the rest of mankind who haven’t decided whether they will love God and Jesus
and love their neighbor or whether they will serve their own fleshly desires
and the world’s system of the devil.

The Stained Glass Curtain: Crossing The
Evangelical-Catholic Divide To Find Our Common Heritage
By Dimitri Sala
"The Stained Glass Curtain is an
effort by a dedicated bridge-builder to show evangelicals how much of the Catholic
faith as defined by its official teachings is fully compatible with a very
great deal of standard Reformation fare, why he feels a special burden to preach
such a faith to his fellow Catholics (along with anyone else who will listen),
and what sticking points remain between faithful evangelical Protestants and
faithful Roman Catholics."

https://www.thestainedglasscurtain.com/about-fr-dimitri-sala.html
This
seems to be an excellent and careful reply to Father Dimitri Sala’s attempted
retelling of Catholic history to sound like our faith in Jesus for the purpose
of swindling Protestants into joining their Vatican 2 Lausanne movement and
thus reverse the Reformation and become obsolete in the world discussions.

Note
the names Mike Berry, Tony Danhelka, and Erwin Lutzer below in Tony Danhelka’s
group Chicagoland Quarterly Pastor’s Prayer Summit. In Mark Jobe’s 2012 Dissertation at
Bakke Graduate University, he credits Mike Berry and Chuck McWherter as his
mentors in the pastoral staff at New Life Community Church. Tony Danhelka and Erwin Lutzer have been involved in these
networks since at least 1997 with about 60 Chicago pastors. Much of the
information is missing from the internet, having been deleted as they became
noticed too much. So it is difficult to prove which part of the network
involved the Gatekeepers versus the Quarterly Pastor’s Prayer Summit versus The
Summit Leadership Team. But Erwin Lutzer’s name appears in all of the above groups. And Tony
Danhelka
was involved in the founding and leadership of all of the above on behalf of
Father Dimitri Sala. This is the real leadership team behind John Fuder’s
Pray Chicago.
Again, why would Moody Bible family so involved in this type of network? Danhelka organizes ecumenical Pastor’s
Networks like this around the country, as you can see if you look at this link.

“… It was Monday February 16, 2004.
My wife Donna had just left to run an errand. I hung up the phone at about
11:55AM. It had been an encouraging “Spirit led” conversation about God’s heart
for Spiritual awakening over Chicagoland. I had been talking with Father
Dimitri Sala who is an charismatic itinerate
Catholic priest and Evangelist in Chicago. He, Donna and I previously had some
good conversations about prayer, evangelism and revival for Chicago. Today he
had challenged me to try to set up a meeting with Apostle John Eckhardt of
Crusaders ministries to discuss a strategic prayer strategy for Chicagoland.”

(2008), Stetzer interviewed Warren Bird on his dissertation for his doctorate

I feel a little like Sally Field, “You
like me, you like me!” Not really. But it was kind of
cool to read Ed Stetzer’s complimentary post Inside The Yellow Box after he visited our COMMUNITY-Yellow Box
location.
Ed Stetzer is one of the foremost experts on church life in North America. He writes, speaks, leads a church and loves the church. We share a passion for the reproducing church and that give us plenty to talk about. Ed has got a couple gigs that will be bringing him to Chicago on a regular basis – which is awesome. I bought him lunch when he was here so I could pick his brain and hangout. I’m hoping to do more of that when he shows up in Chi-Town.

Drucker’s Impact
On Leadership Network
By Leadership NetworkNo Comments
Leadership Network would not be the
same–in fact, might not exist at all-were it not for Peter Drucker.
Before Bob Buford and Fred Smith Jr.
co-founded Leadership Network in 1984, Buford consulted Drucker for advice. As
a testimony to Drucker’s profound influence on Leadership Network, Buford has
observed, “Peter Drucker is the ‘intellectual father’ of most all that guides
my approach to philanthropy. I’ve long since ceased trying to determine what
thoughts are mine and which come from Peter.”
https://leadnet.org/druckers-impact-on-leadership-network/
Article
notes Drucker’s impact on Bill Hybels and Rick Warren which together effectively produced the seeker-friendly movement and mega-church
plans that overthrew almost all of the honorable pastors who remained in
churches in the United States and is now being implemented around the world to
do the same to the Christian communities everywhere to prepare for an
anti-christ one-world religion. Warren also helped spear-head the merger of
Islam and Christianity alongside men like Joel Hunter from Orlando, FL.

Saturday
is for Seminars: NewThing and The Moody Church Whitefield Lecture
Next week I'll be in Chicago for
a couple of days for the NewThing Gathering and at Moody Church!
Last
week, I spent a couple of days in
Texas at Dallas Theological Seminary. We had a great time together, but now I'm sick, and I think it's
their fault (I'm looking at you, Darrell Bock).
Anyway, I'm home recovering today
so I can be ready to bring the message at Grace Churchtomorrow.
This coming week, I've got my
last trip of the year: Chicagoland (again).
Tuesday,

OCTOBER 4, 2017CHURCH PLANTING
How We’re Encouraging Chicago Church
Planters This Fall
Join us this month at Progressive
Baptist Church in downtown Chicago.
By ED
STETZER
Dr. Charlie Dates is
senior pastor of Progressive Baptist Church in Chicago and is our gracious host
for this CCPA gathering.
Mark Jobe is
founder and lead pastor of New Life Community Church and is probably the
godfather of church planting in Chicago, if there is one.
DECEMBER 15, 2017CHURCH PLANTING
I'm an Evangelical Ecumenist? What
Does That Even Mean?
Working with other believers on
common issues
ED
STETZER
Iconsider
myself an Evangelical ecumenist. Big ‘E’ for Evangelical, little ‘e’ for
ecumenist, because I don’t follow the classic approach to ecumenism.
To put it another way, I don’t
believe in searching for the lowest common theological denominator in a general
statement like “Jesus is Lord.” Actually, Jesus is much more than that. For
example, he is “the Son of God,” “the One born of a virgin,” he suffered, died,
was buried, and rose again, ascended into heaven, and is coming to judge the
living and dead. He is the head of the church, which has pastor/elders and
deacons, calls people into covenant membership, and baptizes believers.
That’s too specific for many big ‘E’
Ecumenists.
But I am more of an ecumenist than
are many Evangelicals. I’ve spoken at the national meetings of 50 different
denominations and I train pastors, evangelists, lay leaders, professionals, and
church planters from all different denominations.
Some don’t like my ecumenism. I was
actually accused by one leader in my denomination of being an “Evangelical
Ecumenist.” He explained I was “the most dangerous person” in the denomination
because I was, well, an Evangelical ecumenist.
Church Planting
I think it’s good for us to do
things together, and I think there are good things we can do when it comes to
church planting. For example, I created the Chicagoland Church
Planting Alliance, which meets quarterly to
talk about church planting and guide and facilitate conversation for church
planters. I lead these meetings and gather different denominations in order to
pray together, train together, and learn from guests like Mark Jobe, Charlie Dates,
and Ron Edmondson.

Neighborhood Prayer Guide: Seeking God's Peace For the
City Paperback – May 1, 2014
by John Fuder (Author), Elizabeth Koenig (Contributor)
Editorial Reviews
“John Fuder and his team have created a great
tool to help us pray more strategically for Chicago. I would encourage everyone
who cares about the spiritual condition of our city to get ahold of a Chicago
Neighborhood Prayer Guide and start praying. We should never underestimate the
transformative power of persistent and united prayer for a city.”
Mark Jobe, pastor of New Life Community Church, Chicago,
www.pastormarkjobe.com
“This is an extremely valuable
resource to aid one in praying for the needs of this great city that is in
desperate need of the touch of God upon it. I appreciate this labor of love in
Dr. Fuder providing this help for God’s people to pray!”
Dr. Bill Thrasher, professor, Moody
Theological Seminary and Graduate School, author of A Journey to
Victorious Praying, www.victoriouspraying.com
This book is a welcome resource
for all who love the city of Chicago! John Fuder and those who helped compile
all this valuable information have given us useful information about every
neighborhood in Chicago. This is just what all of us need as we pray and plan
to grow our witness to the city and for reaching our own neighborhood. I can
hardly wait until it is available for all of us!

Short
clippings from articles which show Mark Jobe being referenced as an expert in
Church Planting and Church Growth alongside Ed Stetzer and several influential
pastors in the country:
How to Plant a Church in Chicago
“[Chicago] is a cluster of tribes,” said Mark Jobe,
who restarted the non-denominational New Life Community Church 30 years ago and
has since planted 23 congregations. From the young white professionals in
Lincoln Park to the Mexican migrants of Little Village to the black grandma in
Roseland, each of the 77 neighborhoods is distinct.
Jobe believes neighborhoods are
distinct enough to warrant different church plants, even when they’re nearby.
New Life has congregations in bordering Lincoln Park and Lakeview, less than
two miles apart. Different demographics and population density mean both
can thrive.
He advises going a step further, and
matching church planters with a neighborhood that fits them.
“I get a lot of wide-eyed,
idealistic guys right out of Bible college who want to plant in a black neighborhood,”
he said. “I love that missionary heart.”
But Jobe is clear: tossing a white,
middle-class kid who didn’t grow up in Chicago into an African-American
neighborhood introduces barriers to church planting…
Another new initiative, the Chicago Church
Planting Alliance, will meet for the first time in March, said Ed
Stetzer, interim teaching pastor
of Moody Church and executive director of the Billy Graham Center for
Evangelism at Wheaton College.
“Church planters need one another in
a challenging field like this,” he said. “Our intent is to connect
different evangelical denominations and networks and find ways to encourage and
equip one another.”
Just like anywhere else, planters in
Chicago need support.

master’s degree in journalism from Northwestern University.

Finding the Right Church Planting
Model Part 6: The Multi-Site/Satellite Model
So, now we are talking about
planting churches and planting campuses.
The Multi-Site Satellite model is an
emerging model. According Multi-Site Solutions—founded by Mr. Multi-Site
himself, Jim Tomberlin—15% of Protestant church goers attend a multi-site
church (though that does not mean
they are AT a site). Many well-known pastors such as Andy Stanley, Tim Keller,
Matt Chandler, Mark
Jobe, and J.D. Greear, utilize this model. I used to
pastor at Grace Church and taught regularly at Christ Fellowship—and both are
multi-site.
Although there are many churches
that implement a Multi-Site/Satellite model (over 5,000—many of them not being
classified as mega-churches), there are still those who disagree with
its practice. So, it’s not without
critics, but it has also become a new normal.
Now
here is where the interfaith part can start to be seen a little more clearly in
Mark Jobe’s thoughts and plans. Notice how he appreciates sounding Catholic.
For example, if you listen to his 2016 Founder’s week address, he comments
about how Moody Bible Institute is like a bunch of monks and nuns housed in the
same building studying the Bible together, except that they are allowed to get
married their senior year. In one of the articles below, you will notice that
he appreciates being told that people like his Mass and call him Father Mark.
Also notice the majority of leaders and speakers at the March to Life are
Catholic, including Rep. Dan Lipinski, Coach Pat McCaskey (also a Jesuit), Eric
Scheidler of Pro-Life Action League (a secret Jesuit organization based on the
Action Leagues used to disguise Jesuit strategy during World War 2), Reverend
Erwin Lutzer (Jesuit though he does not openly admit to serving the Catholics
yet), Emily Zender Troscinski who is Chairwoman of March for Life and Executive
Director of Illinois Right to Life, Mary Louise Hengesbaugh and 1999 Miss
Wisconsin Elyzabeth Lee Pham who emceed the event, and Abby Johnson about whom
the movie Unplanned was made. Peter Roskam is Anglican/Episcopal which is
essentially identical to Catholic and is run by Jesuits. Of course the Right
Reverends of the Orthodox Churches are Catholic. And the retired Catholic
Archbishop of Chicago Cardinal Francis George (called the American Ratzinger
because of his rank and influence) is a Jesuit in the Missionary Oblates of
worshipping the Mary Immaculate founded by a Jesuit student to be a disguised
order. Cardinal George is the man who accidentally admitted that their agenda
is so harsh and evil that while he would die peaceably in his bed (which he did
pass away in 2015 shortly after this rally), however his Jesuit “son”/student
would die imprisoned and his “son”/student after him would be put to death as a
martyr in the open square, but then his “son”/student will pick up the “shards
of a ruined society” and slowly help rebuild and would then be considered a
hero.
Notice
Mark Jobe helping lead the relatively new initiative to observe Lent in a
Protestant form to get followers of Christ used to the idea that we are all
going to be (attempted to be) forced to come under the Catholic authorities in
the future for the sake of one-world religious unity. Instead we are going to
need to carve a third party who does not join the one world religion powers and
does not want to join the anarchists who seek a different type of freedom than
we seek. Mark Jobe has been leading this effort since at least 1994 to move
toward Catholicism and liberalism and secular humanism. The Chicago Tribune
article references all sorts of religions and their traditions regarding
fasting to make all sound the same – as man’s attempt to appease the same
unknowable “god”, which they are in the process of inventing. This approach by
Mark Jobe also makes sense as to why he supported and promoted the Explore God
Chicago project 2019 earlier this year to fellow pastors and churches. In fact
one part of the Explore God initiative was a fast leading up to Easter. Mark
Jobe treats pagan Christmas traditions as sacred in the same way as Lent.

TUESDAY,
JANUARY 8, 2013
My
church and I are in the second day of a 21-day period of fasting and prayer. Since
1995 we
have engaged in an all-church season of prayer and fasting each year. For years
our pattern was to fast during the days leading
up to Easter. Over the last four years we have called a season of fasting at
the beginning of the year and discovered that it is an amazing way to begin the
year and consecrate the remaining twelve months to God.
Church Father Augustine
(354-430 A.D) said; "Fasting cleanses the soul, raises the mind, subjects one’s
flesh to the spirit, renders the heart contrite and humble, scatters the clouds
of concupiscence, quenches the fire of lust, and kindles the true light of
chastity."
Andrew
Murray described fasting as “reaching out after the unseen…”
“Fasting
is reaching out after the unseen: fasting is letting go of all that is seen and
temporal. Fasting helps express, deepen, confirm the resolution that we are
ready to sacrifice anything, even ourselves to attain what we seek for the
kingdom of God.”

CHRISTIANS
FIND FASTING GIVES CLARITY TO BELIEFS
Feb 13, 1997
Frank T. Griswold III, Episcopal
bishop of Chicago, had just delivered his Ash Wednesday sermon on the spiritual
freedom found through fasting and other Lenten disciplines.
Among Christians, Roman Catholics have perhaps the most clearly defined requirements for Lenten
fasting: partial fasts (just one full meal) on Ash Wednesday and Good Friday,
with no meat on Fridays in between.
Episcopalians and
some other Protestants recommend the same days as special days of discipline,
and suggest fasting as one of the options individuals can choose for their
Lenten observation.
Those denominations and others may
also call members to simply deny themselves everyday luxuries, whether it's
coffee and ice cream or racquetball. Many Christians include the idea of
avoiding gossip, being judgmental or other selfish behavior.
And while some Protestant
traditions do not highlight Lent or fasting at all, there has been a revival of
interest in fasting among Evangelical Christians in recent years, including a
prominent national movement for annual prayer and fasting periods.
Fasting, of course, is not
original to Christianity. The Old Testament refers frequently to fasting, and Jews still fast on Yom Kippur, among other times.
Fasting is central to American Indian religions, as well as eastern religions.
Muslims, meanwhile, have just completed
their annual month of daytime fasting, Ramadan. The
sunup-to-sundown discipline is not only mandatory for Muslims, but one of the five pillars of Islam.
In virtually all these traditions,
fasting is linked to prayer. Those who fast say that it lends a certain
intensity to praying that they don't normally feel.
"There's a sense of
heightened awareness," said Campbell. "Experiences are somewhat
rarefied."
"At times you do lack energy,
but your mind becomes incredibly alert," said Pastor Mark Jobe, of the non-denominational New Life Community Church on
Chicago's South Side. "It is an intense time of seeking God."
Though New Life's evangelical
tradition does not call for any special days of communal fasting, Jobe
challenged his congregation last year to join him on an extended fast before
Easter.
He and 18 members of the church
went 40 days without solid food, drinking only water and fruit juice. With
medical advice and one another's support, he said, the fast was a success.
"There were quite a few people
who had major spiritual breakthroughs during that period," said Jobe.
"But whether I see any immediate results or not, I think it's important.
You are continually aware, because of your hunger, that this is a special
season. It's a constant reminder of what you are praying for."
Jobe said he was inspired to fast
by evangelical leader Bill Bright, the founder of Campus Crusade, who has organized national fasts involving thousands of people
for each of the last three years. Jobe said he expects it will only grow.
After the Second Vatican Council, ending in 1965, Catholicism downplayed fasting as well,
removing numerous mandatory fast days, and shaving the mandatory fast before
receiving communion to a single hour.

Evangelical
churches such as suburban Willow Creek will close on Christmas so members can
focus on family
Manya A. Brachear, Tribune staff
reporterCHICAGO TRIBUNE
"At first glance it does
sound contrarian," said Rev. Gene Appel, senior pastor of Willow Creek. "We don't see it as not having church on Christmas. We
see it as decentralizing the church on Christmas--hundreds of thousands of
experiences going on around Christmas trees. The
best way to honor the birth of Jesus is for families to have a more personal
experience on that day."
For example, New Life Community
Church, with at least 11 locations in the Chicago area, and northwest suburban
Harvest Bible Chapel will hold services on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day.
"Every family has their
little tradition," said Rev. Mark Jobe, senior
pastor of New Life Community Church. "For some of them, it's a sacred time to get up in the morning and do their breakfast, share a little
bit and open presents. That may be their main Christmas celebration. It may be
Christmas Eve. ... God created church. He also created family. We need to be
enjoying both of those."
Rev. Wilfredo De'Jesus of New
Life Covenant Assemblies of God, a largely Latino megachurch in Humboldt Park,
said he canceled Christmas Eve services so members could have time with their
families. But he also is asking them to "adopt" children from a
nearby school.

As number of Latino evangelicals grows, it's not politics as
usual
By Rafael Romo, Senior
Latin American Affairs Editor
(CNN) - It’s a greeting that always makes Mark Jobe smile: “I really loved today’s
Mass, Father Mark.”
Jobe is the senior pastor of New
Life Community Church, which has 14 campuses across Chicago and its suburbs. He
said he hears those words at least once a month, usually from newcomers -
Hispanics raised in the Catholic faith who’ve started attending his
non-denominational Christian church.
An estimated crowd of over 4,000 people
marched through Chicago’s Loop on Sunday, January 18, proclaiming the sanctity
of human life and calling for the overturn of the 1973 Roe v. Wade decision
that legalized abortion in the United States. The 10th annual March
for Life Chicago drew pro-life citizens of all
ages to participate in the rallies at Federal Plaza and the James R. Thompson
Center. Participants heard from Archbishop Blase Cupich, Congressmen Dan
Lipinski (D-IL) and Peter Roskam (R-IL), Bears co-owner Pat McCaskey, former
Planned Parenthood manager Abby Johnson and others.
At each of the two rally points, the
enthusiastic crowd was addressed by multi-generational families of pro-life
activists. Eric Scheidler, Executive Director of the Pro-Life Action
League, spoke with his father Joe Scheidler (known as the Godfather of the
pro-life movement) and his son, pro-life blogger Sam Scheidler. Sandy
Hiltebrand addressed the gathering, thanking them for their faithfulness, along
with her daughter Julie Cooper, and granddaughter, Mary Cooper.
Mary-Louise Hengesbaugh, former Respect Life
Director of the Archdiocese of Chicago and 1999 Miss Wisconsin, emceed the
event which drew huge Catholic participation from across the Midwest. The
crowd, however, was decidedly multi-denominational, and addressed by Orthodox
church leaders, the Right Reverend Anthony, Bishop of Toledo, and the Right
Reverend Paul, Bishop of Chicago and the Midwest, as well as Pastor Mark Jobe, founder of
New Life Centers.

There was
representation from numerous faith traditions in the crowd, including Orthodox
church leaders, such as the Right Reverend Anthony, Bishop of Toledo for the
Antiochian Orthodox Church, and the Right Reverend Paul, Bishop of Chicago and
the Midwest for the Orthodox Church in America, as well as Pastor Mark Jobe, founder of New Life Centers, and Reverend Erwin Lutzer, senior pastor of Chicago’s historic Moody
Church.

Mark
Jobe is welcomed by Alderman Edward Burke who calls him a “long-time friend”.
This is interesting to us because Burke is a Knights of Columbus member (a Jesuit-founded and led organization)
and longest-standing alderman (since 1969) second in power only to the Mayer
Rahm Emmanuel (now Lori Lightfoot as of yesterday) in the politics of Chicago.
Burke’s wife is Justice Anne Burke of
the Supreme Court of Illinois. Both Edward and Anne Burke are alumni of
Jesuit DePaul University College of Law, so Edward knows his way around the
loopholes quite well and understands exactly what is happening to Moody Bible
Institute as it is taken over by Jesuits. He is also in question for a lot of
various self-dealings – same as the leadership of Moody, so they make good
companions. Edward went to a Catholic Seminary instead of high-school – Quigley
Preparatory Seminary founded by Archbishop
James Edward Quigley of Chicago who said in 1903 that America would rule
the world within twenty years (through the International Monetary Fund and
League of Nations founded by Woodrow Wilson which became the precursor to the
United Nations which is also hosted in the United States) and that this would
mean that the Catholic Church will rule the world through American democracy
being pushed around the world. So you can clearly see that this man is a Jesuit
both by position as Archbishop in largely Catholic city of Chicago and in
knowledge of how to conquer the world for the Catholic Pope – that is the sworn
oath of the Jesuits. That is the “high school”/seminary that Edward Burke went
to before going to Jesuit DePaul
University and before joining the Knights of Columbus. Alderman Burke
contributes large amounts of money to Catholic and Jesuit politicians and
Catholic organizations and special events. So if Edward considers Mark Jobe a long-time friend and member
of his community, (along with all of the other evidence we have shown about
Lausanne, Stetzer, March for Life, and Mark’s own words sounding like a
Catholic) you can see why we have to assume that Mark Jobe is a secret Jesuit.

Congratulations are in
order for Pastor Jobe – a longtime friend and community member – as he takes on
a new role. Join me in congratulating the new president of the Moody Bible Institute, Pastor Mark Jobe!
Thank you for doing
what God has called you to do, Pastor. I know you will lead this great
institution to do more good works for Chicago and the world.

“Within twenty years this country is going to
rule the world. Kings and Emperors will soon pass away and the democracy of the
United States will thake their place… When the United States rules the world,
the Catholic Church will rule the world… Nothing can stand against the Church.
I’d like to see the politician who would try to rule against the Church in
Chicago. His reign would be short indeed.”
— Catholic Archbishop James Quigley, Chicago
Daily Tribune, May 5, 1903.)

To
Be A Kingdom Building Pastor Today — You MUST…
By Ron

I love this picture.
I saw it on Mark Jobe’s Facebook page. Mark is
a pastor of a church I greatly admire in Chicago. Actually, as a church planter
and revitalizer, I’ve probably referred people to New Life (and a video of
their work I keep bookmarked) as much as any other church.
New Life is doing what I believe is some of the
best, hardest and most needed work in church growth today. They come along side
an older, declining, established church and breathe “new life” into them helping
them reach the community again. There are many other churches doing similar
work, but I have been to New Life and had the opportunity to talk with
Mark a few times, so he’s one doing this type ministry I’m familiar with most.
I don’t know Mark well — but we are close enough to be Facebook friends J
In this picture, Pastor Mark is walking with
Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel. According to the caption, Mark was “Discussing the challenges
of providing a safer environment and better role models for Chicago school
children with the Mayor”
I love it!
Yea Mark! Yea New Life! Yea God!
The thought that struck me with this picture
is that it provides further proof of something I’ve believed for some time. Something
I’ve been living and preaching.
It’s how I’m trying to do church growth today.
To be a kingdom building pastor you MUST be a community building
pastor.
