  • 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.

Beaten for visiting Church. Family faces spiritual attack. Police demolish Church property.

MUSLIM WOMAN BEATEN FOR HER FAITH.
  • A Muslim woman was beaten for visiting a church but has now placed her faith in Christ. Isata is from a town where her father is an imam and her brother is a local muezzin (someone who calls Muslims to prayer). Despite being raised in a strict Muslim home, she began to have dreams in which Jesus Christ appeared. After having this dream three times, she decided to visit a church, which angered her husband. He felt she had brought shame upon his family and gathered some Muslim men, who tied her up and beat her. Read More.

    Convert's Family Faces Spiritual Attack

    [12] prayers in [2] nations have been posted for Zaynab and family.
    Zaynab reads her Bible and prays for her family.
    The family of a new Christian is enduring unexplained health issues believed to be a demonic attack. Zaynab and her family fled violence in Iraq in 2017, and she became a follower of Christ through the kindness of Christians. (Her story was shared in VOM's December 2025 magazine.) But her former Sufi community has continually pressured Zaynab to revert. Members of the mystical Sufi community wanted Zaynab's daughter to marry the son of a Sufi imam. Zaynab and her husband refused, and she believes the Sufis used witchcraft to cause several family members to become physically and emotionally incapacitated to the point of hospitalization.

    Church Property Demolished in Police Raid

    [10] prayers in [2] nations have been posted for Yayang Church.
    Scaffolding was erected around the belltower of the Yayang church to prepare it for demolition.
    During an all-night prayer vigil on Dec. 14, 2025, hundreds of police officers who were mobilized from other counties stormed the Yayang Assembly church in the Wenzhou City area. Police forced out about 100 worshipers, sealed the church and began demolishing the church's belltower with its cross as well as other parts of the building. Two senior church leaders, Lin Enci and Lin Enzhao, and as many as 20 other members were arrested on charges of organizing a criminal syndicate. The church had refused to comply with previous orders to display the national flag and remove the cross. Read More.
