  • 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

My family is hosting a Russian orphan for a month through International Christian Adoptions. I know many families do this each summer. I'd love to hear your experiences! I'm keeping a detailed journal of ours at

Please pray that Alexey finds a loving, Christian adoptive family while he's here!

My church hosts about 25 orphans to live with families here in the Dallas area. I've personally taken 3 trips to Russia to see these special young ones. We even got a group of Russian orphan breakdancers to come to America and perform at area schools and churches. You are in for a treat! These kids look so much like American kids it's hard to tell the difference. Blessings to you and those that also host these kids.

Blessings.
