Support RFC’s Christmas For Christian Refugees Ministry

The Christmas for Refugees program that was so successful last year is being expanded. As of now, the plans are for 1,000 Christmas dinners to be served to Christian refugee children in Jordan and 1,000 more to children in Lebanon. Each child will take home to their family a box of staple foods valued at about $30 to $35. The ministry we coordinate with in Lebanon says they can easily expand the program to 1,500 or even 2,000 children — if we can raise the funds. Please pray that we can reach as many children as possible.

BABY Fatima was less than 48 hours old when she died last weekend. Her parents, Syrian refugees living in a tent on the outskirts of Arsal, a Lebanese border town, rushed to the local hospital when they found she was not responding, but it was already too late: she had succumbed to the first snap of freezing winter weather.

The groundswell of support across America rises for the Houston pastors and churches that have had their internal church communications subpoenaed in a blatant act of intimidation by Mayor Annise Parker.  Christians across the nation are showing their solidarity with these churches by planning to be a part of I Stand Sunday – a nationwide simulcast on Sunday, November 2nd at 6:00 p.m. CT/7:00 p.m. ET. Live from Grace Community Church in Houston -- one of the affected churches -- "I Stand Sunday" will focus on what's happening there and discuss how Houston is a bellwether for the rest of America. The event’s purpose is to show how Christians nationwide can stand together in love and unity for America's First Freedom of religious liberty.

Special Event: Stand For Houston Pastors

The right of churches to freely speak the truth is under threat in Houston.  Five pastors and churches in the Texas city have had their internal church communications subpoenaed by Mayor Annise Parker. This action by the mayor was done in response to a lawsuit against the city for basically ignoring a petition by the people of Houston to vote on a "bathroom bill" that was forced upon Houston residents and businesses earlier this year.  None of the pastors or affected churches are even a party to the lawsuit.
