GENERAL INFORMATION: CHRISTIAN MINISTERS' RETREAT (CMR)

CMR GOALS AND VISION: Christian ministry is a spiritually demanding vocation that requires exposure to fresh encounter with God's word so that the man of may prepare for the life and ministry.

"All scripture is inspired by God and is useful for teaching the faith and correcting error, for re-setting the direction of a man's life and training him in good living. The scriptures are the comprehensive equipment of the man of God and fit him fully for all branches of his work" 2 Tim 3:16-17 (Phillips)

• Preparation for Revival: The most crucial need for revival are men and we trust God that CMR will become platform to prepare men as catalyst for the end time revival with special focus on those who are in Christian ministry or aspiring to get involve in Christian ministry.
• Disciple Making Movement: CMR is focused on equipping ministers to reproduce disciples in a way that will have multiplying effect in churches, fellowships , workplace's and among the nations.
• Re- Igniting Passion: Several ministers are struggling in their call and ministry and are burn out as a result of spiritual attack or personal careless ness, we trust God to use CMR platform to heal and restore ministers spiritual vitality for effective performance in ministry.
• Checkmating Error: Pulpit ministry has consistently come under attack in recent years and we have equally witnessed every kind of heresy and gross display of embarrassing misconduct by Christian ministers, we believe God to use CMR as platform for instruction in righteousness to correct lives and ministries.
• Recruitment for Harvest. It is our desire that the Lord will raise and commission men regularly at this retreat as harvest force in churches, campuses, workplace's and among the unreached groups.

2018 THEME : EXECUTING DIVINE MANDATE

Preambles: The whole point of Christian ministry is executing divine mandate in our generation not personal agenda or selfish ambition and enforcing that mandate over the nations.

In executing divine mandate ministers occupy a central and critical place because they are executors if HIS mandate and agenda and so they must be men who are sensitive to God's purpose for their generation. Divine mandate has suffered setback because of careless men and demonic conspiracy. God has pressed in our spirit to reclaim and reposition the mandate in the hands of qualified men.

This retreat is scheduled for March 29-31 at Foursquare Gospel Church.
