Posted By: Curly Morris on August 18, 2008 Christian Freedom International (CFI) is an American human rights organization based in Front Royal, Virginia, whose stated mission is to "help those who are persecuted for their faith in Jesus Christ." CFI operates as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization and relies on voluntary, private support from individual donors and Christian churches throughout the United States. CFI originated from the Swiss-based organization Christian Solidarity International, and established official independence as Christian Freedom International on April 24, 1998.[1] CFI was founded and is currently headed by President Jim Jacobson (born 1961), a former White House legislative aide and policy analyst who served under the Reagan administration. The organization's board members include Michael P. Farris, former President of the Home School Legal Defense Association and founder of Patrick Henry College in Virginia, Erik D. Prince the Chairman and CEO of Blackwater USA, and former American Ambassador to Switzerland Faith Whittlesey. CFI assists Christians living in countries where persecution is most intense. In addition to its international activities, the organization also engages in political advocacy in Washington D.C. on behalf of thousands of persecuted Christians around the world. CFI has earned a three-star rating from Charity Navigator[2] and a four-star rating from Ministry Watch.[3] Christian Freedom International operates a variety of programs that provide relief aid to Christians who are repressed because of their religious beliefs. Since its founding, the organization has worked in countries such as ****, Afghanistan, Iraq, Iran, Burma, China, Vietnam, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Nepal, Tibet, Laos and Indonesia. CFI's international programs focus on the following key areas: * Bible distribution to Christians living in restrictive countries where it is illegal or especially difficult to obtain or own a personal copy of the Scriptures; * Medical assistance through the establishment of clinics and hospitals, donations of medicine and medical supplies, and the support of backpack field medics who provide medicine and medical treatment for internally displaced refugees in Burma; * Emergency food distribution to impoverished Christians, especially those living in remote, isolated regions; * "Care pack" distribution for needy Christian families in Pakistan who labor in brickyards; * Child sponsorship, especially for orphans, to help provide for basic, daily essentials as well as educational needs and supplies; * Operation of orphanages and a vocational school in Thailand for Christian children of refugees from Burma; and * A microenterprise outlet that provides an income for Christian artisans who produce handcraft products for resale in the United States. http://www.christianfreedom.org/ If you enjoyed this article, Join BlackInAmerica.com today for similar content and opportunities via email! |

Curly, do you really care? Or is this just yet another way to show your disdain for any type of organized religion or level of spirituality where God is the head? Hmmm... Blessings... Monday, August 18th 2008 at 3:33PM |
