Christian Missionary Fellowship

In my continued desire to Publicize What God is Doing, today's highlighted ministry is Christian Missionary Fellowship International. I am not familiar with this organization, but a quick perusal of their website indicates that they are active all over the world, sponsoring children, planting churches, advocating for the urban poor and providing basic necessities combined with teaching God's Love for each and every human being they encounter.

Brian Houser, one of CMFI's missionaries to Burkina Faso, was one of the speakers at our Missions' Day "round table" a few weeks ago. (Click here for link to video access to view the service) Brian talked of God's provision and encouragement even as his wife, Tabitha, battled meningitis while in Africa. But they are just one family out of what appears from the website, to be dozens all over the world serving through CMFI.

I counted 14 countries where CMFI is active, but the first one I clicked on is the place that is growing in my heart, Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. CMFI is involved in serving the urban poor, including the disproportionate number of lepers that live in this capital city of Ethiopia. One thing I noticed quickly from the website is the large number of missionaries that appeared to be twenty- to thirty-somethings...yet again, confirming that the Millennials are a generation that will fight for a cause...no matter the cost. Praise God...His Spirit is alive and active and His children are obeying His call!

Once again, I will repeat...do your own research and if this is a place you feel the Holy Spirit leading you to give or to serve...don't question the feeling...or the wisdom...or even the practicality of it...just do it, and you will be blessed!
