CBEM PASTORS AND MISSIONARIES MINISTRY

CBEM AFRICA MISIONARIES AND PASTORS MINISTRY is one of the very essential ministries in CBEM-AFRICA aimed at caring, motivating, encouraging and empowering missionaries and pastors serving fulltime in CBEM-AFRICA.

‘‘Therefore, my beloved brethren, be ye steadfast, unmoveable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, for as much as ye know that your labour is not in vain in the Lord.’’ (1 Corinthians 15:58)

GOD’S INTERVENTION THROUGH MICHAEL GEORGE (FARAJA).

In the year 1998 God Divinely joined Pastor Masha with Michael George on a mission trip in Uganda and Michael testifies that on returning home, God urged him to support Pastor Masha’s family basic needs as he serves full-time in the ministry and in a written letter dated 13/12/1998, Michael and his family obediently committed themselves to support Masha’s family basic needs and quoted two Bible verses one from Colossians 3:17 and the other from I Corinthians 15:58 which served and have continued serving as a great encouragement to Pastor Masha as he and other Pastors serves in the hard and very dangerous areas of Africa. Michael and his family commitment to support Pastor Masha as he serves full-time in the mission work has proved to be the solution for mission work to progress in Africa for since that time, Pastor Masha and his family were encouraged and felt empowered to serve God boldly, full-time and effectively in the mission work.

THE PROBLEM OF LACK OF FULL-TIME AFRICAN MISSIONARIES AND PASTORS

Lack of fulltime African missionaries and pastors is observed to be the major problem causing failure for mission work in Africa including reaching the un-evangelized people groups of Africa and planting churches in need areas of Africa.

While it is evident that the Lord has opened doors that provide many opportunities for mission work in Africa, and called gifted, faithful, and committed ministers to serve full-time in doing mission work in Africa which is one of the most continent with many unevangelized people groups and with a large area without evangelical churches, mission work has greatly failed due to lack of support for the missionaries and Pastors called by God to assume that task.

This problem is claimed by the churches to be caused by inability of rural and bush churches to support their pastor’s and missionary’s needs because of financial problems. It is observed that the members and leaders of these churches have come to believe that the rural churches cannot have full-time pastors and missionaries because of the fact that the rural bush churches are congregated by poor members who are unable to support even their own needs.

On the other hand the pastors and Missionaries of these churches comfort themselves by saying “we are just volunteering to help the church” meaning that they are not really devoted to lead the church to accomplish Gods purpose for its existence but rather just covering the space.

It is through this problem of lack of support for African missionaries and Pastors that has totally made the African church to be stagnant and totally failed on its mission work.

During one of Michael George’s visit to Africa with his wife Donna, the Holy Spirit led him to see other CBEM full-time Pastors needs and further committed himself and his family to support their family basic needs. Masha and the other Pastors felt cared, encouraged and really appreciated Michael and his family and recognized the special calling in him and honored him by ordaining him with a nickname “FARAJA” meaning one who cares and encourager.

It is for that reason CBEM has realized a great success in doing mission work in Africa now having reached two unevangelical people groups and planted Ten churches six among the ten are bush churches, one children church and three churches of people with special needs. These churches have a membership of about 800 believers, having baptized 292 among them and have successfully mobilized about five hundred ministers to do mission work.

CBEM – AFRICA is now having a ten year mission plan ( 2021 – 2030 ) and is targeting 3 unevangelized people groups with the Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ and planning to plant 7 new churches in needy areas of Africa that is one church each year.

CBEM has for now five full-time Missionaries and eight full-time Pastors. Five among them are supported while the remaining eight are in the waiting list and we are looking forward for many full-time Missionaries and Pastors who will rise each year as CBEM plans to plant a church annually.

CBEM therefore is calling upon missionaries, Pastors and godly men and women with a heart of caring and who feel called by God to be a blessing by being an encouragement to the full-time missionaries and Pastors in Africa like brother FARAJA to join the blessed team.
