How it began

In 1985, CCM was formed when a number of mission leaders active in Muslim Evangelism throughout southern Africa met together and said, "We need each other!" The closer co-operation that resulted has been very encouraging, making us more effective in reaching our goals.

How it grew

Since 1995, various individuals, churches and organisations interested in sharing the Gospel with Muslims have become involved in CCM, either as members or friends of CCM.

How it works
The church is God's way of reaching the world. Believers in the Body of Christ have been commissioned by God to reach Muslims. But who is equal to such a task? (2 Cor 2:16)

CCM provides a forum where Christian leaders from a broad spectrum of churches and mission organisations come together. Annually at CCM Conferences and the Leadership Consultation CCM meets to interact about Muslim Evangelism and to develop capacity building strategies which will assist Christians and congregations in their outreach to Muslims.

What are CCM Conferences?
Every year there is an opportunity for everyone interested in Muslim Evangelism in South Africa to attend CCM conferences.

In the major centers throughout South Africa this uplifting conference encourages Christians in each region to prosper and persevere in the calling to reach Muslims for Christ.

Regional Forums organize these conferences and meet together throughout the year for networking and prayer.

What is the CCM Leadership Consultation?
Leaders representing member churches and organisations meet annually for consultation, planning and fellowship. An executive is chosen to provide direction and to ensure that various projects are pursued throughout the year.

Task groups are formed when needed for specific responsibilities, whether research, writing or problem solving.

How about you?
More and more Christians are becoming concerned about reaching Muslims with the Gospel of Jesus Christ. We praise God for this.

CCM welcomes individuals with a heart for Muslim Evangelism to become Friends of CCM. For some this may mean prayer and/or financial support. It may also mean receiving training and getting involved in outreach in the area where you live.

Individuals who already have a leadership role in Muslim Evangelism can become Members of CCM and attend the Leadership consultation.

CCM values the input of the church. Churches with an active interest in Muslim Evangelism can join CCM either as Friends of CCM or as Members of CCM and may send a representative to the Leadership Consultation. The same applies to Christian organisations.
