• 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

Prayer requests post here!

The wife in our broader circle of friends, Katya, 38, is in critical condition on full life support in a Moscow hospital after losing consciousness in a mall, falling, and cracking her head. Her husband does taxi work for us when we need it, they have 3 kids. We had a major prayer service, moleben, last night at a local church. She seems to be at death’s door, and we are already feeling crushed. Prayers appreciated!!

Small update - Katya has been taken off the heart machine; I guess that means her heart is pumping on its own. Still in coma, still no visitors, including husband, allowed, I suppose she is still on artificial lung ventilation. Got that from a friend of their family who we drove to Liturgy yesterday.

Update - Katya is off the machines. One side of her body is unresponsive; she understands speech; as of several days ago she was still unable to talk. She is being moved to a rehabilitation center but there is no certainty of recovery of bodily functions. We are trying to collect money for the huge expenses of rehabilitation. I’ve put my money where my mouth is.
