• Starting today August 7th, 2024, in order to post in the Married Couples, Courting Couples, or Singles forums, you will not be allowed to post if you have your Marital status designated as private. Announcements will be made in the respective forums as well but please note that if yours is currently listed as Private, you will need to submit a ticket in the Support Area to have yours changed.

  • 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

Someone was telling me about this movie. And that it was good. I was just wondering if anyone has seen it and your opinions on it. Thanks!

Machine Gun Preacher (2011) - IMDb
It's a great movie and based on actual events, but Sam will be the first to tell you that although the movie is a true account of his life, many of the events that took place were Hollywooded-up to make them appear more exciting for the movie.

I hosted an event a few years ago where we invited Sam to be the primary speaker. He is often touring and if he is ever in your area it would be worth taking the time to hear one of his sermons. As good as the movie is, I found hearing him preach and telling his story in person to be more moving and inspirational than the film.

I met him when we were in front of the UN building petitioning the UN on behalf of Sudan. That was a year before 9/11, the next year our 2nd protest was cancelled when NYC went into lockdown after the attack.
