• 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

In John 15:20 Jesus said: 'If they persecuted me, they will also persecute you', and here at Release International we receive news and stories of persecution, and even martyrdom of Christians, on a regular basis.

Right now, the atrocities against Christians in Nigeria are continuing (see page 10) and many families are grieving the loss of loved ones. In Burkina Faso over one million have been displaced and Christians are under constant attack from the jihadists (see page 6).

In Indonesia and India extremists are persecuting pastors and believers and even killing them (see pages 12-13). I believe this is the time God is calling us to pray:
  • For believers who have been forced to flee their homes.
  • For wisdom for pastors and ministry leaders who are caring for those traumatised by extremist attacks.
  • And for protection and provision for God's people in these troubled places.
AOften, Christian families who are experiencing persecution or have fled from conflict zones need emergency food and supplies, financial assistance to rebuild their lives, help with children's school fees and pastoral care.

You can download a pdf copy of the magazine from our website or read it online.

Please forward this to Christian friends so that they can pray and act too.
