Dear Friends,
At a CFM mission station outreach in a new village. Restoring discipline to the heart through new birth and a new desire to follow Christ’s love in family and in community. Many new believers coming to Christ.
Indiscipline – A Manipulation of the Elite
We have been taken for fools by an imposed worldview claiming the perpetrator is the victim, a worldview with fake sympathy, excusing lawlessness, while the elite take the caboodle. Our societies have progressively removed discipline from the whole fabric, with no consequences for doing wrong. But today this is reverting to how things should be.
“All discipline for the moment seems not to be joyful, but sorrowful; yet to those who have been trained by it, afterwards it yields the peaceful fruit of righteousness.” (Hebrews 12:11) Returning discipline to our societies won’t seem nice and many will protest it, but it must be done…
We are seeing a move back to discipline in the world today and it is high time. Thank God for his grace in restoring us and our nations.
The Middle East
Bible college and pastors’ conference…
Pastor Ibrahim Saad: CFM’s partner for our Cairo bible college.
We believe the middle east is undergoing a transition from a past engineered by the globalists, to produce chaos, decline and control of resources, to a new future of peace, cooperation and development for all. This is our opinion, after watching positive background shifts in the last nine years. Oh, how all the people need this! And we are ready to evangelise the region. So, we are not afraid, despite complexities. We are preparing in faith.
Pastor Ibrahim Saad is building this hall for CFM’s bible college. We are working towards a great future in training pastors and missionaries for the middle east. We are not afraid of the deep state’s machinations around the world. They are manifesting in death throes, exposing themselves on every stage. We are looking to the Lord for great things. God is king.
Pastors’ Conference in Cairo
Ruth and I are planning another pastors’ conference in Egypt, this time in Cairo, to spread awareness of missionary training for the wider region.
CFM’s Marah’s House
Women survivors of terrorism praise God. Arriving destitute, with young children, now they have foundations of biblical faith, literacy, and vocational skills. Naomi learns tailoring below, Lami learns catering and cake decorating. Lives are being rebuilt and transformed.
Lami’s husband was killed by Fulani 2021, their home and property destroyed, farmland occupied. She never went to school. She and her children spoke Irrigwe, their mother tongue. Now Lami & her children speak Hausa & English. Lami can read & write both languages! Musa and Martha in school are learning fast. They have hope again!
Children’s Leadership Training
About 50 representatives of CFM’s children’s ministries (schools, crisis-care homes, missions) prepare for guests to arrive next week from Loom International, to continue workshops started last January.
Women’s Weekend
Meetings at Wurin Alheri. What is God like? What is he doing in CFM?
“A father to the fatherless, a defender of widows, is God in his holy dwelling. God sets the lonely in families, he leads out the prisoners with singing; but the rebellious live in a sun-scorched land.” (Psalms 68:5-6)
Strong Storms
Roof damage to Wurin Alheri’s main office, equipment and records damaged. Strong gusts and heavy rain for about 1/2 an hour. Other minor damage around the site. No one was hurt. It’s a wet, wet season this year. Rain has never failed once in the 40 years we have been here.
Thank You
Practicing self-discipline - resisting selfishness, worshipping God with our lives, loving our neighbours - brings the fruit of the gospel to our communities, reflecting God’s light. Thank you for standing with CFM to bring light into lives beaten down by darkness, which many thought impenetrable, but now know that God’s love and light overcomes all darkness.
Thank you for upholding our team and their families in prayer, and for your financial support as God enables you.
Blessings,
Kent, Ruth & 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.
