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:
“One memorable addition to the old mythology is due to this era,—the Christian fable. With what pains, and tears, and blood these centuries have woven this and added it to the mythology of mankind! The new Prometheus. With what miraculous consent, and patience, and persistency has this mythus been stamped on the memory of the race! It would seem as if it were in the progress of our mythology to dethrone Jehovah, and crown Christ in his stead.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“If nations always moved from one set of furnished rooms to another—and always into a better set—things might be easier, but the trouble is that there is no one to prepare the new rooms. The future is worse than the ocean—there is nothing there. It will be what men and circumstances make it.”
—Alexander Herzen (1812–1870)
“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)
