The Christian Missionary Foundation is an indigenous, non-denominational missionary organization that was formally launched on 15th May, 1982 at Trenchard Hall, University of Ibadan. Our first outreach was held between May 15th and 17th, 1981 at Idere, Oyo State, in response to the challenge of guinea worm infestation that affected 40% of the population. Thereafter, a resolution was made to carry on holistic missionary programmes.
CMF has grown from a merely students/graduates-driven ministry to an international mission outfit that has worked in more than 15 African and Asian countries, some of which are reverted to independent ministries while active national branches are about 12 including Nigeria. We have promoted and pursued ‘wholistic’ ministry as a strategy anchoring basically on medical and professional missions. We have also been involved both at the pioneering and the current levels of the evolution of a national missions movement. Similarly we have contributed in various ways to give visibility and recognition to the emergence of the missionary initiatives from the so-called mission receiving continents which have now become majority mission sending force.
