Christian
Missions Fellowship - CMF was initiated in 1993
with a view to launching a worldwide evangelistic campaign
through the local church as the mission centre. This
worldwide initiative started in a goat-shed called Kaunda
Kiosk with an initial membership of 25 members. Within
a short while the goat shed was bursting on its seams
due to rapid growth. In 1996 the ministry moved to its
current modern cathedral where the congregation has
since grown to about 700 members.
Rev.
Joseph Wamutitu, the Presiding Bishop of CMF left the
comfort of a well paid secular job with all its trappings
to venture into the arena of preaching the gospel. Having
preached all his secondary school and university life
an urge to win souls for Jesus precipitated inception
of Christian Missions Fellowship even when better economic
prospects beckoned him. A holder of a Bachelor of Commerce
degree, he plunged into the preaching arena with the
sole aim of answering the call that God had clearly
given him.
Being
a go-getter, focused and ambitious the gospel arena
presented a more formidable challenge worth pursuing.
For effective ministry Rev. Joseph Wamutitu joined Fuller
Theological Seminary in United states of America where
he is due to graduate with a PhD in Missions Studies
this year. Though the task of preaching has not been
without challenges, to see its changing effect produce
positive results to those who have come into contact
with it has been more than satisfying.
The
motivation clearly defined - to establish a centre for
worldwide evangelism. Nairobi Missions Centre located
in Kayole was the inaugural mission centre which also
serves as the ministry headquarters. Several other missions'
centers have been established. These include: Kasarani
Missions Centre, Gatundu Missions Centre, Kahunguini
Missions Centre and Laisamis Missions Centre.
CMF is
indeed causing positive impact wherever and whenever
it has been called to task. The future is bright for
this ministry and there are a host of opportunities
for anyone out there who identifies with our vision.
As you
read through this site, pause occasionally and reflect
on what you can do with in partnership with us to increase
our level of engagement to the community that God has
called us to serve.
