How It Started
Phil Johnsey ministered to four different churches over the course of 30 years. He then began to wonder what God had in store for the last chapter of his ministry. Phil remained faithful in prayer and Bible study for eleven months, and then followed as the Lord led him to a new goal. This goal was to plant 500 churches in fifteen years. His vision was to network churches with hearts for missions, of differing denominations, and have them serve together, provide resources, and bring the precious gospel to the people of East Africa through these church plants.
Church Missions Network (CMN) exists to bring HOPE through the good news of God’s love by directly connecting people, churches, and accomplishing more together than any of us could do alone.
Where do we serve?
God has led us to serve the incredible people of East Africa. There are hundreds of tribes in Africa; each with their own culture, belief system, and language. Many of these tribes have never been reached with the Gospel.
Islam continues to spread in East Africa. The area is full of cultic churches founded on the worship of “things” located in the geographical areas. Our network takes the Gospel to rural places where there are no evangelical churches.
