Indiginous Staff Employed
Projects in Northern Nigeria
Pastors/Missionaries Trained
CFM started as a Bible college in Northern Nigeria in 2007. Soon after crisis erupted in Jos resulting in tremendous loss of life as both Muslim and Christian communities suffered. We found our identity as peace makers. Our teaching and practice shifted. As followers of Jesus we learnt to respond to crisis: firstly through short term aid; and then through long term peacebuilding projects designed to heal and restore relationships in a fractured and broken society. Now CFM employs more than 300 staff across our projects in the North.

STATEMENT OF FAITH
I find statements of faith funny things. We are quite happy to argue and reject people based on their statements, while in Australia, for example, we own and sleep at night on land taken from Aboriginals without compensation, and we have no trouble with that. I think conservatism got a lot of things right with scripture, but not community, and community is the lynchpin. It is what scripture is revealing to us in its story.
Evangelism is more than words, it is also a work of social justice.’Loving our neighbour’ means seeking to put things right with those around us. Wherever we live in the world, this is our aim, even at cost to ourselves. This is bearing the likeness of the cross, and this is our most plain statement of faith, read on our hearts and lives.
