Christian Freedom International
Christian Freedom International (CFI) is a religious human rights NGO based in Front Royal, Virginia.[1][2]
Christian Freedom International has been involved in efforts to address the issue of human slavery.[3] It partners with churches and various denominations to address the persecution of Christians.[4] Christian Freedom International calls on people to observe the International Day of Prayer for the Persecuted Church annually.[5]
Christian Freedom International documents statistics about the persecution of Christians in various countries in order to help policy-makers set "informed decisions regarding trade, aid, visas, and related issues with a particular country."[6] The human rights NGO encourages "congressional delegations to [visit] areas of intense persecution" to mitigate the same.[6]
It is a member of the Evangelical Council for Financial Accountability (ECFA). According to ECFA's 2005 year-end data, 85.9% of CFI's revenues were used for program expenses, 9.9% for administrative expenses, and 4.2% for fund-raising expenses.[7]
