James Gordon Lindsay - Christ For The Nations Institute

Christ For The Nations Institute

Some years he has been teaching people to be missionaries in the nations, the power of the name of Jesus and the baptism in the Spirit to the believer. Then in 1970 he founded together with his wife Freda, the Christ For The Nations Institute (Christ to the nations) now has over 1200 students, 250 international and 50 different nations.

Lindsay died unexpectedly on April 1, 1973, in a time of worship in the Institute.

Freda Lindsay, his wife, diligently continued his dream of founding apostolic churches, ministers and study support many students. She remained active as the President of Christ for the Nations until she retired in her 90's. "Mom" Lindsay died in her home on March 26, 2010, at the age of 95 on "Gordon Lindsay Day," a day the institute had designated to remember and honor the legacy of the founder.

His son, Dennis Lindsay, is the current president of CFNI and continues the work that his parents started.

Famous quotes containing the words christ, nations and/or institute:

    If there were two princes in Christendom who had good will and courage, it would be very easy to reconcile the religious difficulties; there is only one Jesus Christ and one faith, and all the rest is a dispute over trifles.
    Elizabeth I (1533–1603)

    If I thought that I could speak with discrimination and impartiality of the nations of Christendom, I should praise them, but it tasks me too much. They seem to be the most civil and humane, but I may be mistaken.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    Whenever any form of government shall become destructive of these ends, it is the right of the people to alter or to abolish it, & to institute new government, laying it’s foundation on such principles & organising it’s powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their safety & happiness.
    Thomas Jefferson (1743–1826)
