Dear Friends,
This month marks 38 years in Africa. We have written a brief fast-moving history of the time, starting when we arrived with $4 in 1986. We are so thankful for all the Lord has done, and for what he has yet planned. Attached is the first draft, unedited. We would appreciate your comments, if you have any.

With the crisis of confidence in the world today, we see all humanity has lied. There is only one who hasn't: God. He said he is Creator and Redeemer, through the Lord Jesus Christ. He said, "Call upon me in the day of trouble and I will deliver you." He has never lied once.
Ethiopia
CFM is in Ethiopia this week, looking at a graduate’s work, to see if CFM should come along side for the purpose of wider missions in the nation.
First, there is this school run by our graduate with 170 children. It is very hard to witness here, due to the intense persecution from Muslims. Persecution from Orthodox can be as bad, or worse. It all depends on the part of the country. Most of these children are Muslim, in our graduate’s Christian school. The Christians here meet only in homes.
In another part of this country is a church, where new leaders are being trained up.
Please pray CFM will be led by the Lord in this, about our role.
We are building a house for Ruth, Daniel and I, and for guests who visit. Downstairs it has a small lecture hall and offices. This will make room for other staff to live on our site. Can you help with this project?
CFM is in big need this week. If you are able to help, please let us know. Please pass our book on to others. Thank you.
Blessings.
In Christ, Kent, Ruth and 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.
