African Ministries: “Giving Hope to a Hurting World”

Who we are... Church Missions Network is a non-profit ministry that sees thousands of medical patients in third world countries each year. As we do this, we share the gospel and plant new churches in these very remote areas. We then train these new pastors and give them tools to continue to minister to these people. We also minister to orphans and widows in various ways through these new churches.

Our Process to start New Churches in Africa ❖ National pastors share the need for new churches ❖ Medical clinics see patients with evangelism as focus ❖ Give 10 Bibles in their native language to each new pastor ❖ Provide bicycles to new pastors for ministry follow up ❖ Pastor training paid and supported by CMN ❖ Building the church a place for worship and ministry

Church Missions Network has now started sixty-two churches in Africa with plans of beginning twenty-four more in 2010 and another sixteen in Pictured here is the first service of the Omuthuma Church under our medical tarps.

Medical Team draws the Net of Evangelism Our medical team sees patients a day and provides $20,000 of free medicine each trip. African pastors share the gospel and pray with each person.

The “Miracle” of an African Church After we finish building a church, neighbors will tell us they have prayed for a place to worship for many years. They call these 18’ x 28’ “pole barns” a miracle. The $1200 cost would not be possible because the average wage is a $1 a day.

New Church Start in Africa This is new pastor, Daniel Caleb, at our medical clinic (left). The Wanganga Church begins this day as people pray to receive Christ. His first step is to train new believers the following Sunday with the 10 Bibles that CMN provides. Six to eight months later a CMN construction team will build the church a permanent place of worship and ministry. Here (right) is a celebration service after we finished our part of the construction. This will provide a place to worship (dry in the rainy season) and to feed orphans through K4K.

Pastor’s Training costs $600 The seminary cost $300 each year for two years. While they are in school the pastors continue to lead their new churches. They attend two weeks of classes and then go back to their church field for six weeks to use what they learned. CMN is paying for 28 pastors in We will start new seminaries in eastern Kenya in 2010 and in Tanzania in 2011.

Ten Bibles in native language given to each church: $100

Pastors’ Bicycles for Ministry cost $100 A bicycle is like a pick-up truck in Africa. These pastors cover a 30 mile radius as they minister to new believers. These bikes save time and give pastors a way to carry materials to their church and its members.

Church Building costs $1200 CMN built Katito Baptist Church in They have started two new churches since then. (below) Pastor Wilson and some church members thank CMN on a Monday morning for all we’ve done for them. CMN also paid for Wilson’s training.

Kare for Kids in Africa begins In 2009 CMN felt led to begin a program for orphans that provides food and mosquito nets. We began K4K in January 2010 by feeding over 60 kids at six CMN churches for a total of We hope to double that number later this year, again in 2011 and in 2012 to bring our total to feeding over 3000 orphans in 48 churches.

Pray for God’s leadership as our teams are formed by people from all over the United States.

Be a Serving Partner We lead several teams a year. We need medical personnel, construction workers, teachers, and many people with a desire to serve wherever needed. Our trips are different times of year and our focus changes to meet the needs of the area we are serving. The cost is determined by where we are going, how long we will be there and the travel cost.
