Christian Freedom International

Remembering the Persecuted
The work of Christian Freedom International centers around the words of Hebrews 13:3: "Remember those in prison as if you were their fellow prisoners, and those who are mistreated as if you yourselves were suffering."

CFI believes that all able Christians have a responsibility to assist others in the Body of Christ who are living under the burden of harassment, imprisonment, torture, and martyrdom. We strive to raise awareness of the crisis surrounding the persecuted church by mobilizing Western Christians in prayer, advocacy, and action.

CFI works in countries of intense persecution, where we have an established network of house churches, cell groups, and indigenous pastors. It is through these courageous Christians who willingly risk imprisonment or martyrdom that we are able to come to the aid of thousands of other suffering believers.

CFI's projects assisting the persecuted church include microenterprise, establishment of schools and orphanages, and distribution of food, medicine, Bibles, and other relief supplies wherever it is needed.

Our Statement of Faith
Our statement of faith is the same as the Evangelical Council for Financial Accountability's.

1. We believe the Bible to be the inspired, the only infallible, authoritative Word of God.
2. We believe that there is one God, eternally existent in three persons: Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
3. We believe in the deity and humanity of Christ, in His virgin birth, in His sinless life, in His miracles, in His vicarious and atoning death through His shed blood, in His bodily resurrection, in His ascension to the right hand of the Father, in His present rule as Head of the Church and in His personal return in power and glory.
4. We believe that for the salvation of lost and sinful men regeneration by the Holy Spirit is absolutely essential.
5. We believe in the present ministry of the Holy Spirit, by whose indwelling the Christian is enabled to live a godly life.
6. We believe in the resurrection of both the saved and the lost, they that are saved unto the resurrection of life and they that are lost unto the resurrection of damnation.
7. We believe in the spiritual unity of believers in our Lord Jesus Christ, with equality across racial, gender, and class differences.

Our Mission
The mission of Christian Freedom International is to help Christians who are persecuted for their faith in Jesus Christ.

We are a nondenominational human rights organization providing aid, advocacy, and Bibles to Christians in areas of intense persecution.

Our mandate is to reach the part of the persecuted Church that is the most repressed, most cut off, and most isolated.

As a U.S. based, grass roots organization, we mobilize Christians in prayer, advocacy, and action on behalf of men, women, and children who are harassed, tortured, imprisoned, and martyred for their faith.

Christian Freedom International is a member of the Evangelical Council for Financial Accountability (ECFA). Members of the ECFA are held to the highest standards of financial responsibility.

Christian Freedom International reports ministry results to donors through stringent and detailed accountability systems. Each year our finances are reviewed by our board of directors and audited by an independent auditing firm.

Christian Freedom International's board, staff, and volunteers work hard to make certain that we use the Lord's money in the most efficient and effective way possible.

We believe that the ministry of Christian Freedom Inter-national belongs to God, that integrity is too important to be taken for granted, and that we are accountable to God and According to an outside, independent audit, for each $1 given to CFI, here is how it is used:

• 74% program;
• 22% administrative;
• 5% fundraising.
