Christian Freedom International (CFI) is an international human rights organization that "helps those who are persecuted for their faith in Jesus Christ." It is based in Front Royal, Virginia.
Christian Freedom International aids, equips, and advocates for persecuted Christians. It provides spiritual and material support, such as Bibles and Bible training, food and medical aid, schools and training, churches and shelters, and runs programs such as child sponsorships and microenterprise.
Christian Freedom International runs micro-enterprises to provide incomes for Christian refugees. "Freedom Fighters" is a T-shirt-of-the-month club that provides jobs and training for Christian refugees and produces a new t-shirt design every month. A Center for the Blind and Disabled in Bangladesh is stocked with sewing machines and candle-making tools for Christians with disabilities to make items to sell.
The Freedom Inn in Sault Ste Marie, Michigan, was established as affordable housing for Karen (Burma) Christian refugees in the U.S. The renovated motel was remodeled into apartments, and the pool transformed into a garden. Freedom Inn became a base for community volunteers to help refugees to assimilate and become U.S. citizens.
Christian Freedom International is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization and relies on voluntary, private support from individual donors and churches throughout the United States.
Christian Freedom International originated from the Swiss-based organization Christian Solidarity International and established official independence as Christian Freedom International on April 24, 1998.[1] James Jacobson, a former policy analyst in the Reagan administration, was president from 1998 to 2017. In 2017, Wendy Wright, a human rights and religious freedom advocate, became president.
