Ministries
Evangelism
Through the partnership, CRM prints “Story Cloths” with chronological Bible stories and trains volunteer teams and people in different cultures to use them in evangelism and discipleship.
Leader Development
This is the highest priority of CRM. We accomplish this through workshops, some of which are held in remote training centers in the bush, while others utilize conference facilities in hotels and churches in Kenya, Tanzania, Zambia, India, Uganda and South Sudan. The workshops teach the use of Chronological Bible Stories in Evangelism and Discipleship, but also include Pastoral training, Deacon/Leadership training, and Pastor-Pastor Wife workshops. Leaders are equipped to teach the material to others and given the resources to do so.
Bush Camping Evangelism
These teams are able to work areas deep in the bush. We use resources that provide individual tents, cots, sleeping bags, vehicles, supplies, cooks, guides, and interpreters. The Bush Camping Missions include a co-ed team and has concentrated on remote areas in Kenya and Tanzania using Story Cloth 1 to do evangelism. As a result, over 50,000 Maasai have been reached and 140 churches started. The majority of the Maasai love in Tanzania and since 2018 CRM affiliated teams have focused on that country.
Construction
This mission focuses largely on building churches and training facilities in Kenya and Tanzania. The focus for 2022-‘23 will be finishing construction on an orphanage in Kenya, and three Bible schools in Tanzania.
Discipleship
CRM’s mission statement is, “Empowering gospel movements among least reached people.” We seek to accomplish this goal by providing training and resources which can be reproduced or used by the “common man or woman” in any culture. Chronological Bible storying, the strategy behind the Story Cloths, enables believers to grasp the Bible’s main story line and major doctrines. CRM also provides new believers with scriptural resources in digital format which enable them to listen to an audio NT, watch the Jesus Film Project Videos, and other Bible based films aimed at helping them to become reproducing disciples.
Training Teachers to use the Stories in Schools
God has opened the opportunity in Zambia and Kenya to train teachers to use the stories to teach the Bible in their schools and to assist in teaching vocabulary, math, and science. Over 300 teachers have been trained and equipped to train other teachers. Story Cloths and teaching materials are supplied through donations to CRM.
