Welcome to the Who We Are  page . . .



Please allow us to continue sharing your gifts with those in need. 
Thank you!
Helping Christians to make a difference in the lives of people, one life at a time or in multitudes in the most remote places in the world. This is our calling.
Our passion . . .   As our name proudly proclaims, we are a christian humanitarian aid organization, called to share the gospel of Christ through meeting the needs of the poor.

Why we exist . . .   To borrow from the Westminster Confession of Faith, "The chief end of man is to glorify God, and enjoy Him forever".  To personalize this one might state, "I will glorify God when I put His attributes on display, in my life, in such a way as He may be made known."  In essence, we become a store-front window for the Gospel of Jesus Christ.  No one ever looks at a spectacular store-front window display and says: "Wow! What beautiful glass!"  They don't even notice the glass... they are too busy admiring what's inside.  For us, that perspective ought to be the familiar store-inventory of Galatians 5: "...love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, gentleness, and self-control."  Notice that this inventory is entirely relationship and other-oriented.  Hence, at CFH, we will satisfy the "Why" of our existence as we particularly demonstrate these Spirit-filled attributes towards the targets, or the "Who" of our ministry.
Our Mission . . .   The Great Commission.  When people are cold, hungry, or in pain, the concept of a loving God is sometimes difficult to comprehend. CFH's goal is to provide Christian field workers with the means to meet the physical needs as they glorify God's name and spread the good news of Christ.

Our purpose . . .   is to glorify God by enabling the Church to advance the Gospel of Jesus Christ to the needy and to minister to the members of God's family by providing three venues by which Christians may impact the needy for Christ:
  1. Giving - by providing humanitarian humanitarian relief free of charge to christian ministries, missionaries, and healthcare professionals working with the poor in the United States, and 50+countries worldwide.  Through CFH, you can provide humanitarian aid (primarily food, clothing, furniture and medication/medical supplies) throughout or city, our state, our nation, and the world.  Locally, CFH distributes individual's gifts by working with established pre-qualified ministries and indigenous missionaries wherever there is a physical need and opportunity to give, CFH requires that the provision of aid be accompanied by the proclamation of the Gospel of Christ.  Those who give through CFH hold this common belief: "our meeting an immediate, physical need pales in comparison to God's satisfaction of all men's eternal, spiritual need of forgiveness, justification, and adoption through Christ.
  2. Going - by arranging short term mission trips for Christians interested in going abroad to advance the gospel.    CFH does not 'send' paid, full-time missionaries to accomplish its international outreach goals.  Instead, we prefer to assist by sending any Christian desiring to "go".  Through a CFH sponsored, short-term mission trips, any pre-qualified individual or church members can serve Christ and the poor, by fulfilling His "Great Commission".  Depending on the opportunity, specific mission trips may emphasize medical/dental ministry, work programs, street evangelism, or (in 'closed' countries) relational evangelism. Without question, gifts of humanitarian aid are of great value.  But many have found, when they "go" with their "gift" their greatest joy in giving came from giving themselves.
  3. Growing - by offering churches, youth groups, organizations and individuals opportunities to grow Gods kingdom through local evangelism and discipleship ministries to the needy and through a variety of volunteer positions enabling the Church to be the hands and feet of Christ to the poor.  If one is not ready or physically able to "go" across the globe right now, they can simply go across town.  through CFH, one can be part of "growing" God's kingdom through local evangelism/discipleship ministries to the needy in the Tulsa metropolitan community.  Individually, a person may wish to serve in the "First Steps" program and perhaps help mentor new believers. This program occurs weekly at our Tulsa facility.  Corporately, throughout CFH's "Adopt-a-Facility" program, other Christians and those in their churches or sunday school classes can offer regularly scheduled outreaches at local low income housing facilities.  Regardless of an individuals's personal situation, CFH can provide a ministry opportunity - not necessarily in the giving of money, though that is certainly necessary for CFH's continuance, but simply by the giving of yourself.   One may not be able to go to Africa, but he or she can usually go across town, or volunteer at the CFH facility.  There's always plenty of work to do in the clothes closet, food pantry, or in maintaining the facility, computers, transportation, etc.  Remember this:  Scripture does not recognize a non-ministering saint.  All the Lord asks is that we serve.

Our beliefs . . .
  • We believe that all scriptures (Old and New Testaments) are inerrant and inspired by God.
  • We believe in one God in three persons:  Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
  • We believe that God the Son became flesh in the person of Jesus Christ and was born of a virgin – true God and true man.
  • We believe that Christ died for our sins as a penal substitutionary sacrifice and that all who believe in Him are declared righteous on the basis of his shed blood.
  • We believe in the bodily resurrection of Christ, in His ascension into heaven, and in His present life there for us as our high priest, intercessor, and advocate.
  • We believe in the personal and visible return of Jesus Christ in the glory of His Father to establish an earthly kingdom.
  • We believe that Holy Spirit is a person, possessing all of the distinct attributes of God.  His function within the Godhead is to convict the world of sin and baptize believers into the body of Christ, indwelling the believer at regeneration and sealing him permanently as a child of God.
  • We believe that man was created in the image of God and that he sinned, resulting in physical and spiritual death. All human beings possess a sinful nature.
  • We believe that whoever by faith receives Jesus Christ as his Savior becomes a child of God. This salvation is not the result of any human effort or merit but is given to man solely through the Grace of God.
  • We believe that all true believers are kept eternally secure by the power of God through the new birth, the indwelling and sealing of the Holy Spirit, and the intercession of Christ.
  • We believe that God heals with or without means in answer to prayer offered in faith and in accord with His sovereign will.  Healing cannot be claimed on the same unconditional basis of faith as salvation is claimed.
  • We believe in the bodily resurrection of all men.  Believers are resurrected to eternal life with God.  Unbelievers are resurrected to judgment and eternal suffering apart from God.
  • We believe in the reality of the person of Satan.  Christians can overcome Satan schemes by applying Scriptural truth.
  • We believe in the rapture of the Church.  All members of the body of Christ, living or dead, will at that time be caught up to be with the Lord forever.
