  • 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.
  • We hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

  • Odette's doctors say she needs additional surgery to repair her damaged jaw.
    A pastor's daughter was shot by persecutors but has survived. Tribal spirit worshipers in a remote part of the DRC demanded that a Christian pastor hand over his church's instruments for their occult practices. When he refused, they returned later to kill him. He wasn't there, but his 21-year-old daughter Odette was. The attackers severed two of her fingers and told her to kneel so they could execute her. They shot her above her left cheekbone, and the bullet exited through the right side of her jaw. Read More.

    Discouraged Pastors Need Prayer

    Pastors throughout Central Asia face a variety of pressures.
    Pastors in Central Asia need prayers for encouragement amidst hardship. One pastor told a front-line worker that he felt lonely and discouraged. "He realized he needed to say ‘no' to some things that he can't take on and to delegate more," said the worker. "He also longed for the opportunity to share his feelings and weaknesses with other pastors but knew they would tell him he shouldn't be sharing his weaknesses with them."
