  • 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

Hi everyone, Australia for to long has turned a blind eye to Indonesia's poor human rights record despite us and the rest of the world turning a blind eye they have repaid our goodness with arrogance.In 2015 Australia pleaded with the Indonesian authorities to spare the lives of eight people involved in drug trafficking which included two Australians, four Nigerians, one Indonesian and a Brazilian man who suffered from schizophrenia, despite pleas for compassion the prisoners were flown to an island escorted by a fighter jet where they were shot, the eight died singing christian hymns together in unity with each other and god.It may be claimed that was Indonesia's right of sovereignty to execute drug traffickers under their laws but sadly Indonesia has no respect for other countries sovereignty like when they invaded east timor and killed five Australian journalists known as the balibo five in 1975, I know that was a long time ago but today they still continue to Oppress, Kill and Torture people in West Papua. West Papuans feel as if their cultures sovereignty has been stripped from, Their resources pillaged,They are treated as second class citizens and regarded as foreigners in their own country.

To highlight and provide further information of the plight of West Papuans i have Provided a link to a free West Papua website and also included a link About the Eight people who didn't die as sinners but confronted death without fear like true Christians do, No did.

Free West Papua - Human Rights

I am a friend of somebody who was involved (on the illegal side) in the whole drug smuggling execution business in Indonesia and nevertheless do not dispute the sovereign authority of that government to deal with law breakers in this way.
However I am also aware that the situation in West Papua is not of this nature, rather it involves simple people who have done no wrong, who wish to live lives in the land that they have been given by God, but are powerless to resist the advance of a predatory government. The truth of heavy blood shed and slaughter that these people have experienced at the hands of the invading beauracracy will only be told if we support them.
My prayers and support are with you all. May the kingdom of our Lord come.
