Christian Freedom International

Christian Freedom International sells "self-help handcrafts" made by Christians in countries where they are the persecuted minority.

"How CFI is Different
Most organizations only provide assistance to places where they have an official invitation from a sovereign government. But repressive regimes never give this invitation. As a result, many Christians who need help go without aid or advocacy.

. . .the most repressed,
. . .most cutoff,
. . .and most isolated.
That’s why we accept no government or United Nations funds."
