Christ For The Nations

CFN is one of the world’s leading non-profit missions organizations that is transforming lives and influencing nations around the world. The ministry was founded in 1948, by Gordon and Freda Lindsay to fulfil Jesus’ Great Commission to the Christians. Known prior to 1967 as The Voice of Healing, Christ For The Nations has been impacting humanity and spreading the Gospel of Jesus across the globe through Worship, The Word and World Missions.

With the help of our generous giving partners, we have helped complete 12,100 church buildings in over 100 countries through the Native Church Roofing Program, provided over 64 million free Christian publications to over 120 countries, built an association of over 50 affiliated Bible schools in 30 countries, provided thousands of dollars in world relief resources, supported foreign orphanages (led by CFNI alumni), international missionaries and Israel. We continue to do these missions initiatives each year.
