Dear Friends,
Two More Attacks
More attacks at CFM missions stations. One was just a couple of criminals who struck our missionary on the head with a cutlass and stole his motorbike. He leads 15 mission stations.
The other was a larger attack on a community, where two nominal Christian clans fought for land. Properties, businesses and homes were burnt and people killed. Our mission stations there are unique because we have believers from both clans worshipping together. They had to flee, along with many others, who formed a convoy trekking out of the township. Our leading missionary has returned to pick up the pieces.
CFI Begins to Fill with Students
After six weeks of practical ministry, followed by family farming, students have begun a strong return to Wurin Alheri for the July-December semester at the bible college. Already, about 500 full-time students are on site.

The Centrality of Christ’s Cross
Watch yesterday’s message on the cross of Christ. Making sure the cross of Christ is at the centre of the gospel, our lives and the church. Sorry about the poor quality of the video. We need to update some of our chapel equipment.
The cross, Christ’s self-giving service, is the heavenly knowledge, wisdom, power and glory of God in this world.
Expecting many Foreign Students
From a Sudanese refugee camp, Alnazeer studies in CFM’s theology library. More Sudanese will begin to arrive at Wurin Alheri next week. Sudan is one of those nations where we know change is coming, after 23 years of war. This really matters to so many people.
Africa is Changing Trajectory
What some staff and students said about the discussion below:
This brings clarity and deep encouragement in a time when the world needs truth and bold leadership. I’m praying and preparing for Nigeria’s shift, and I believe we will see the transformation you’ve spoken of. (Toyin Alabi, lead pastor CFM Gwagwalada Children’s Crisis Home, schools and churches.)
Thank you for making this clear. The globalist media makes us see Trump as a bully, not a partner in the development of Africa... Nigeria needs a fundamental political change, which the church can encourage for the good of her people. (Alex Wuslong, co-leads CFM’s 11 computer centres, a conference speaker, builds peace with Muslim & Christian youth.)
Thank you so much daddy. When I was a student, you taught this, but it wasn't making sense but now I fully understand this message of liberation. I pray African nations like Nigeria will have understanding. (Ernest Ade, graduate and church pastor.)
So much in ministry and life is like sowing seeds. You never see in the short term the whole fruit. It’s always about following the Lord by faith.
The battle is on. There is so much we can’t say in an email. The tactics of deception in the information war sacrifice many innocent lives.
America is continuing to meet with African nations to sign contracts to invest in infrastructure in exchange for partnership in resources. Business of this kind develops nations and eradicates terrorism, bringing peace. An economy of trade, rather than aid and external debt, is quickly building.
The method of globalism, on the other hand, is to extract resources from nations without development within those nations. Terrorism is used to maintain chaos to keep local development and nation building governments in subjection. Regional governments are bribed with International Monetary Fund (IMF) loans, which the poor pay the interest on. It’s official policy: we have cited this many times.
Whatever the full truth about China and Russia, they are working to develop African infrastructure in exchange for partnerships in resources. Russia has also partnered with African nations to successfully eradicate terrorism and allow regional development. During this time, globalism has continued to traffic weapons into the region via global conflicts it promotes. But globalism is being defeated.
We have been saying for years that instead of demonising these nations, the West should join in this development spectrum and stop its regressive domination of nations through World Economic Forum (WEF) and IMF propaganda that insist on high energy prices, deindustrialisation, eternal debt, and economic austerity.
This is what America is now doing: bringing down energy prices, adopting partnership for mutual development and prosperity with Africa. It is promoting nation building governments in Africa. It is building legitimate business on legal terms, not through espionage, terror and corruption. It is bringing resource and infrastructure development to Africa, giving Africa ownership of its own wealth, processing industries and economic policies.
We have been following preparations for this American shift in foreign policy for some years and have tracked its philosophy, progress and hope in overcoming globalism, African terrorism and poverty. Globalist media consistently misrepresents what is happening, to maintain the status quo of African vulnerability. This media consistently blames Africa alone for all its problems, while hiding the truth about globalism.
Australia needs to get with this renewed and honest political direction, and stop the WEF sponsoring her politicians, who sustain woke ideology and NetZero policies, impoverishing hundreds of millions of people, while promoting an environment of terrorism. She needs to reindustrialise to produce real wealth. She needs to build her rural regions, the backbone of the nation. Australia needs political change, which the church can encourage for the good of all people, home and abroad.
Ditto for other Westen nations. It isn’t “conservative” or “left” parties that will save us. They are both owned by globalism, not loyal to their home nation. Instead, it must be local citizens learning the truth about political corruption and insisting upon change and transparency. It’s our responsibility. This is true democracy: government by the people, not the people seeking their own interests, ignoring, leaving and trusting the corrupt system to do the right thing for the nation. Too many people suffer that way.
It’s just left for Nigeria to join in this African partnership in the future. Presently, Nigeria is still the bulwark of globalism in West Africa, but it will shift soon. Once it does, Nigeria will boom. It will be quick.
Medical Seminar at a Missions Station
First Aid, Hygiene & Nutrition
Stella, one of our missions leaders, trained by ITECH USA, during their visits to Wurin Alheri, conducts a medical outreach at one of our stations.
They all prayed for Stella after she had finished her stay.
Thank you for your support in prayer and finances. We and the whole CFM team appreciate your prayer, and we pray for you regularly. Many challenges lie ahead. We know God will do amazing things in the coming months. He is always faithful. We are trusting the Lord for A$25,000 to purchase land for our children’s home/ school/ church in Gwagwalada. Please see our last newsletter and please pray with us. Thank 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.
