Dear Friends,
This text reads, “In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.” CFM is planning to continue with the work we visited in Ethiopia. It was started by one of our graduates. Pastor Abner has raised up pastors of churches and a Christian children’s school among the Afa people. We are planning to work alongside Abner, who is already a CFM missionary, overseeing mission in Nigeria. All around the school in Ethiopia, the Afa people carry AK47 guns. They are in constant defence against the Somali people who try to take the land. The government leaves them to themselves. The region, like much of Africa, is very rich in minerals, exploited by foreign interests. Keeping the regions in instability assists the exploitation, just as it does in Nigeria, Congo and in many other nations.
CFM Outreaches Going on Each Week
In our mission stations, moving from place to place.
Classroom for our Bible College
This year, our Year-two English speaking student body became too large and had to move to our main chapel. However, this means the children’s school and other departments of CFM are restricted. We knew it was a temporary solution, but circumstances meant that we had to resolve the matter. We have started building this class hall for the bible college. We have part of the money needed and estimate we need another A$50,000 to complete it.
Bible College students digging the foundation. We are trying to get this building to a place where it can be used in one month. Big enough for 400 students.
Breaking Our Fallow Ground
Listening to our bible college student dean speak on, “Breaking up the fallow ground” of your heart, to let God in, to hear his word, so he can transform your life. Thinking, “How much God has blessed us with so many wonderful staff who are pastoring the church.”
Thank you for your ongoing prayer and support.
If you are able to help financially, many lives in many crucial, war-torn regions of Africa will be helped as God raises up labourers for the gospel harvest in Africa.
Blessings,
Kent, Ruth and the CFM team

Our Faith:
We believe in One creator God, who created all things. The incarnation of God in Christ, as redeemer, son and heir of creation. The death of Christ for our sins, his bodily resurrection on the third day and his current rule over the nations. God the Holy Spirit, the agent of salvation and restoration in the church of Jesus Christ. The resurrection of all humanity from the dead and the final judgement. Eternal life for those of faith and eternal destruction for the godless.
