History
The American evangelist Gordon Lindsay and his wife, Freda Lindsay, founded Christ For The Nations Institute (CFNI) in 1970. After Gordon's passing in 1973, Mrs. Lindsay and her family continued operating the institution. The organization has trained more than 30,000 students, reached 120 nations, and assisted native congregations in building more than 11,000 churches all over the world. 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 26 March 2010 at the age of 95 on "Gordan Lindsay Day", a day the institute had designated to remember and honor the legacy of its founder. Their son, Dennis Lindsay, is the current president of CFNI.
