CFK - Concern for Kids,
Ltd. is a non-profit organization and was founded in 1992 and reorganized
in 2002. The board's main function is to raise support and enable the
field workers so they can more fully focus on showing the love of Jesus
Christ to the people living there. Also the CFK Board screens and
recruits volunteers for our world-wide mission projects. We have operations
in Indonesia, Malaysia, and Iraq.
The Work
Past projects have provided disaster relief, built schools and clinics,
provided fresh water and even brought the first computer training to North
Iraq. Businesses were started and many people are even now benefiting
from the work in several countries, including the USA. The best part
is teaching people about how Jesus died to save them.
