• Starting today August 7th, 2024, in order to post in the Married Couples, Courting Couples, or Singles forums, you will not be allowed to post if you have your Marital status designated as private. Announcements will be made in the respective forums as well but please note that if yours is currently listed as Private, you will need to submit a ticket in the Support Area to have yours changed.

  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

God used Bhumika's niece to introduce Bhumika to the saving knowledge of Christ- she went to church and gave her life to Christ in June 2022.

This story is not usual in the sense that it was Bhumika's children that rejected her for her faith- not her parents, older extended relatives, etc.

When she was back living with her sons they made her move out and disowned her for her faith in Christ. I'm so glad that faith in Christ is love and not a cult- I would never do that to my mum who is a new ager- fortune telling, reincartion, readings, etc but guess what- she is my mum!

Bhumika moved to a house and lives by herself- unheard of in such a culture and she struggles with day to day activities like food shopping because of her poor health.

Thankfully she has recieved help from her church family and Open Doors have helped her start a business she can run even with her poor health- praise God!

Her business is succesful- and she even now helps others!

Her favourite verse? One of mine when I became a new Christian- Matthew 28:20 "and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age."

She also has a prayer request which is unusual as they usually ask for our prayers- she prays for all you readers!

What an inspiration Bhumika is and a great example of Christian family helping out- we cannot do the Christian walk alone, God made us to fellowship IN PERSON with other Christians!
