  • 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.

I Commit to Pray prayer requests.

  • Arrests of Christians Increasing

    [110] prayers in [10] nations have been posted for Christians in Eritrea.
    Christian prisoners in Eritrea are sometimes held in shipping containers for years.
    Front-line workers report that arrests of Christians in Eritrea have increased in 2025 with very few releases of current prisoners. Since Jan. 1, 2025, there have been over 200 new arrests, putting the total number of Christian prisoners in the country around 550. This is the highest it has been in over five years. The conditions inside these "prisons" are some of the harshest in the world as Christian prisoners are provided meager rations and held in shipping containers in extreme desert conditions for years.

    Pastors and church leaders in China are often targets of Communist authorities that seek to intimidate and punish Christians.

The specific charges have not been made public. In recent years, the church has been unable to use its purchased office building as a meeting place due to governmental pressure. Read More.

    Mass Deportations from Iran Endanger Christians

    [78] prayers in [9] nations have been posted for Afghan Christians.
    Millions of Afghan refugees are being forced to return home from Iran and other neighboring countries.
    Forced deportations are placing Afghan Christians in danger. More than 1.4 million Afghans have been deported from Iran back to Afghanistan since the start of 2025, with as many as half a million sent back since the June 2025 war between Israel and Iran. "Some of those being forced back are Christians," said a front-line worker. "They are Christians who already fled persecution in their home villages and fear what could happen to them when they return." Many Christians will attempt to hide in Afghanistan's larger cities, but without family support networks to help them, they urgently need assistance. Read More.
