  • 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.

Dear sister Judith,

Greetings in Jesus lovely name. We are still awaiting the m-bag of bibles you sent last time and I believe they will be here soon.

Eleven of our brethren in Dandiku a town in Borno State had been held hostage since the past two weeks by militant muslims. Borno is a muslim dominated state. The muslims there are worried with the spread of the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ. Their request is that the four major churches in the town should be demolished by our brethren and that our brethren should leave the town before they release our brethren they are holding hostage. They threaghten to kill them in one month if their demand is not met.

The police are still carrying out investigation to know where our brethren are but to no avail. Several muslims had been arrested and interrogated but they all claim they are not part of this evil act. The police are not taking it easy because their act goes against the Nigeria constitution which gives the right to 'freedom of thought, conscience and religion'.
Please join us in prayer for God's intervention.

There are several displaced children here from war
troubled country in west africa called Liberia.

When the Liberiawar started, the Nigeria government sent several ships
to convey the Nigerians there back home. Thousands of
Liberians mostly children entered the ships to Nigeria
to excape death. Most of them roam the streets of Lagos and other towns and villages here. It is sad to see the kind of life these people are living and no one cares about them.

Two of them about the age of ten were found dead in the outskirts of Lagos few days ago. God is using us to rehabilitate twelve mothers and 22 children. We help to provide clothes, food, drugs and shelter. Our brethren has tried so much in the past three weeks. We need others to assist us in this great glorious task. What ever is done for this people is done for Christ. I do not want to send them away because no one cares about them, although we may not accept any more. If the Lord provide and ask you to help please do not hesitate. I want you to also help to bring this issue to others who may be able to help.



Please pray for my friends in Nigeria, that they will have the strength and stamina to do what they Lord is calling them to do. And please ask your church or denomination to get involved with what is going on in Liberia. Call your congressman, write to the President, write to the Red Cross and ask them to send aid and peacekeepers immediately.

The situation is over-burdening our brothers and sisters in Christ in Nigeria, churches who are already so poor they have one Bible for the whole congregation, people so poor they don't have food and clothing for their children.

Please be a prayer warrior to end the conflict that is raging in Liberia. For we do not battle against flesh and blood enemies, we battle against the powers and rulers of evil in the heavenly realms.

I have been and will continue to keep the people of Liberia, I will include your friends in this. I believe Nigeria and the U.S. have sent peacekeeping troops to the region. Hopefully peace will result. The people of this region are in my thoughts and prayers. :pray:

Its my understanding the U.S sent ten people into Liberia with about 2500 just outside still on the ships. I think the report said 2000 marines and 500 navy personnel. I pray they won't be needed. I pray for the people of Liberia but lets not down the U.S for their role yet. God Bless

They won't be sent in unless President Charles Taylor resigns. But if he resigns, the war will be over, because people have been rebelling against him and his government, so it will be too little, too late.

Please pray that they don't wait for conditions to be perfect before they send in help. They are needed now, not three weeks from now.

The needs are great there. We have 100 people go on a mission trip to Africa once a year. They go for two weeks and they go to two different countries. We do what we can to bring Jesus to them, because He has the solution to their problems.

I pray this message will get to the right christian organizations and to our leaders who can organize and take action. I bind the work of the enemy in these countries and let the Holy spirit take presidence and let there be massive repentance and revival and strenght in christ and his messingers . Keep them protected Lord and brings these lost children to you Show this country and the children that you and only you are the begining and the end. Take away their blindness and let them realize Satan is running a muck and is a liar! Jesus is the only way to God and to the Kingdom of heaven. I pray these people's needs will be met. Thankyou Jesus.
