  • 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.

.A father and son team joined their love of racing and a marathon and raised £250.00 for Open Doors at the silverstone running marathon- it reminds me I need to do the same and plan on doing so!

. Please pray for our sister in Christ Nagres Nasri from Iran, despite being pregnant with her first child, she has been sentenced to 16 years in jail for house church activities.

. We learn of pastor Yang in Myanmar- having to be constantly on the move with his family due to the civil war in Myanmar- having to move with his children and wife.

. We hear of Romi in Malaysia- a formerly nominal Christian who heard the proper Gospel from an evangelist, thanks to Open Doors he now has a Bible in his language. Despite the loss of benefits from the Government and loss of community standing, he continues pressing on to know Christ more and more!

. We learn of Long and Ha from Vietnam- a couple whose house was torn down by a raging mob and they were forced away from their village for their faith in Christ- to make matters even more distressing Ha was eight months pregnant.

Please continue to pray for your persecuted brothers and sisters in Christ!
