PAKISTANI REFUGEES IN BANGKOK

Christian converts are shunned by families, beaten and abused by extremists. CFI supports pastors – converts to Christ – who lead house churches and children’s Bible classes. Our Center for the Blind and Disabled provides Bible teaching and ways to make a living, and Ministry Center provides shelter.

Pakistan ranks high in all forms of persecution. Christians are mercilessly beaten, and forced to do filthy and perilous work. Gunmen attack churches. False accusations incite mobs against Christians. CFI provides food, Bibles and church services for Christian families held captive to work in brick kilns.

Egypt treats Christians as inferior. Christian youth are abducted and forcibly converted to Islam. Mobs attack and face no punishment. CFI supports and ministers to Christian children in Cairo’s Garbage City.

Iraq’s Christian population has dwindled from 1.2 million to a few hundred thousands. Many who survived war and ISIS are living as refugees. CFI provides medical supplies and health care items to Christian refugees.

Refugees fled from Pakistan to Thailand to escape from fear to freedom. CFI provides spiritual and practical support with a school, church, food and aid for Christian refugees.

Christians are attacked by Buddhist monks and Hindu extremists. Islamists bombed churches on Easter Sunday, leaving hundreds dead and injured. CFI provides aid to survivors of persecution and security cameras for churches.

Burma’s military regime and Buddhist radicals have violently repressed Christians since 1962. CFI trains Christian Karen refugees at Victory Bible Academy to be missionaries to their people.

North Korea actively targets, imprisons and executes people who are suspected of religious involvement. North Korean defectors craft clever ways to smuggle food, medicines, radios and Bibles into the world’s worst country.
