June Johnson is a registered nurse, wound care specialist, and CMF missionary who had spent 24 years in Ukraine teaching and consulting at two church clinics and a Christian rehabilitation center for spinal injuries. She regularly lectured on wound and ostomy care at Christian medical conferences for medical students. She also worked alongside special needs ministry leaders, using her medical knowledge and other God-given skills.
One of our CMF staff members left for a trip to South Asia recently with a group exploring the country and our ministries there and considering possibilities. This is a closed country where, because of political, social, and religious reasons, traditional missionary activity is not allowed, but where God is working in incredible ways.
At Christian Missionary Fellowship, we often refer to ourselves simply as The Fellowship and after 75 years of international ministry, our Fellowship is quite large! Juli Duvall-Jones, our Director of Missionary Care and Development, shares how they use our fellowship of experienced mentors to pour into our missionaries.
Raelyn Conway serves in Kenya with the CMF team that works alongside Missions of Hope International (MOHI). Since 2018, she has helped to develop programs that holistically address the health needs of more than 30,000 students, their parents, and their communities. Here she talks about how developing a school nurse program is helping transform lives physically, mentally, and spiritually.
REACH internships are an opportunity for young people to see and experience life and ministry on the mission field firsthand and it’s been a part of CMF’s work for over 30 years. Why is an internship program such an integral part of what we do? Two reasons!
Juli Duvall-Jones, our Director of Missionary Care and Development, shares how they use a special tool to help our newest missionaries prepare for what is often a challenging time of ministry on the mission field.
In the summer of 2000, a group of six recent college graduates moved to Mexico City with a bold vision. They partnered with CMF International to start a campus ministry for university students, inspired by the community they had experienced at Georgia Tech. They called it Globalscope. Little did they know this small beginning would evolve into a global movement that would span three decades and touch countless lives.
For the fourth straight year, several Globalscope campus ministries from Latin America have teamed up to travel to a different location to serve together. Claudia Ossa, campus minister with the team in Montevideo, Uruguay, shares how Proyecto La Paz continues to be an amazing experience.
With heavy hearts, we remember and celebrate the life of Alan Ahlgrim, a cherished friend of CMF, who passed away last week after a brief illness. Alan was a passionate champion of our mission, a dedicated member of our Board, and a beloved figure among our missionaries, staff, partners, and fellow board members.
Juli Duvall-Jones, our Director of Missionary Care and Development, shares how focusing on the care of missionary kids (also known at Third Culture Kids, or TCKs) has been instrumental in increasing wellness among our missionaries and their families.
