CMME: 95 Years of Legacy, Forging the Future with Pioneering Vision.

Dear leaders of the CMME – World Convention of Evangelical Ministers,

We honor a legacy built over more than 94 years by the pioneer who left his pastoral and training experience to follow his vision and pass it on to leaders and trends globally. Our history, rooted in the vision of Reverend Thomas Hezmalhalch, a pioneer who founded the Apostolic Faith Mission of South Africa and in 1930 established the vision of CMME before his death, reflects an unwavering commitment to faith, impact, and promise.

The NEW CMME today is the result of a journey of service, marked by the accumulated wisdom of generations and continued support. We celebrate not only our triumphs, but also the perseverance that has brought us this far.

This convention is a call to reaffirm our principles, renew our vision, and reequip ourselves for the challenges ahead. The same fire of the Spirit that produced Missionary Hezmalhalch drives, enlightens, and empowers us.

With the consolidated experience of the NEW CMME and the divine anointing, you are prepared to lead a new rhythm of revival and expansion.

Together, for the Glory of God, CMME: The Legacy Continues, the Future Awaits!

02.

We believe that no two cases are alike. CMME follows the visionary virtues of the first CMME; that's why we've grown and why we're worthy of standing proudly as the world's largest missionary institution and preacher of genuine revival.

03.

We offer a full range of ecclesiastical and legal services to assist both unregistered and legally registered churches through our executive offices: our CMME team provides comprehensive consulting to all congregations.

Reverend Thomas Hezmalhalch: The Visionary Who Lit the Global Flame of Faith.

Born on October 5, 1847, Thomas Hezmalhalch, affectionately known as Tom Hezmalhalch, was not just an American missionary; he was a catalyst for a global movement. His life was a vibrant testament to faith and boldness, profoundly influenced by the powerful healing ministry of John Alexander Dowie.

Hezmalhalch's story is one of a pioneering spirit who was not content with the status quo. In an act of faith and determination, he joined forces with John G. Lake to found the Apostolic Faith Mission of South Africa in 1930. This was no mere local endeavor; it was the birth of a vision that would resonate across continents and generations.

As the first president and director of this seminal mission, Hezmalhalch laid the foundation for a work that would transcend cultural and geographic barriers. He didn't just preach; he inspired. He didn't just lead; he innovated. His unwavering commitment to the Great Commission and his spiritual discernment were the driving forces behind what would become one of the most significant missionary movements of the 20th century.

Although he passed away in 1934, Reverend Tom Hezmalhalch's legacy remains alive and well. He is the original architect of a vision that still drives the World Convention of Evangelical Ministers (WCC). His steps of faith resonate in every leader, every church, and every soul reached by the Gospel he helped sow.

Tom Hezmalhalch: The giant of faith whose 1930 vision continues to shape the present and inspire the future of our Global Mission.

Objective of the World seal

In 2003, in Brazil, specifically in the city of Canoas, Rio Grande do Sul, Bishop Dom Cristiano Della Rose became the president of CMME in Brazil at a prophetic meeting attended by nearly a thousand people. He assumed the vision, continuing the vision of Reverend Thomas Hezmalhalch, founder of the original CMME in 1930, entrusted to him by the Texas leadership council at a conference, focusing on a revival mission geared towards global Pentecostalism. Under his leadership, CMME was renamed from Council to "World Convention of Evangelical Ministers," symbolizing a global digital expansion while remaining deeply rooted in Spirit-guided missions sealed on Azusa Street in the United States.

For over 20 years, Bishop Cristiano Della Rose prayed constantly and fervently:

“Lord, present me with remarkable men and women around the world who are making a real impact for Your Kingdom and who are pure and undefiled.”

God faithfully answered this prayer, divinely connecting him with hidden champions, national apostles, courageous missionaries, prophetic voices, and Kingdom pioneers in some of the most strategic and unexplored regions of the Earth.

After some time, the greatest honors came to the Reverend Bishop, National Vice-President of the El Shadday Baptist Church - SP and World Representative, His Excellency Dr. Ph.D. Sir. Bishop Cristiano Della Rose, along with his CMME Organization, which he presides over, is responsible for CMM Brazil and Africa. He was chosen and endorsed on September 7, 2023, by the founder of the Azusa Street Historical and Mission Society, the late Apostle Rev. Fred Berry of Los Angeles, who went to live with the Lord Jesus Christ in 2006. CMME is also an official volunteer promoter of CMM World Mission, a visionary institution founded by Reverend Dr. Ph.D. Jorge Parrott, and renowned president of Christ's Mandate for Missions (CMM). We have the unity of the entire CMME Group, and CMM and other independent organizations invite you, Apostle, Bishop, Missionary, Evangelist, or Pentecostal speaker, to be part of this CMME World family.

Jesus said: “The sheep know the voice of the Shepherd” (John 10:3). Many evangelical leaders from our CMM Worldwide family have been greatly blessed by this type of Conventional ministry and all the acronyms united in the pursuit of evangelism, revival, and the formation of pastoral leaders, especially in these turbulent times of great uncertainty. We all need to hear the voice of the Lord more and more, and sowing and reviving is our dilemma.

Our Support team will contact you by email to schedule an interview. We pray and ask God to give you renewed hope and encouragement, along with specific prophetic words, impressions, and revelations especially for you. The main objective of our CMME teams and other acronyms in this union is to prophesy, according to the heart of the Lord, the final revival, the last outpouring of the Holy Spirit.

South Africa was visited by a Pentecostal revival in early 1908, where the first African church with baptism in the Holy Spirit was born. Thomas Hezmalhalch came from Los Angeles to Indianapolis, Indiana, in March 1907. He and his group then went to Zion, Illinois, where God granted them an exceptional Pentecostal ministry. The work in Zion had been started in 1906 by Charles F. Parham, leader of the Apostolic Faith Movement of Houston, Texas, so the ground was well prepared for the ministry of Hezmalhalch's group. After this encounter, the group returned to Indianapolis and plans were made to organize a delegation to go to South Africa. The group, composed of Reverend Thomas Hezmalhalch and his wife, Reverend John G. Lake and his wife, J.O. Lehman, Louis Schneiderman, and others, departed for South Africa in the spring of 1908 and went directly to Johannesburg. The same signs that accompanied the ministry of the Word in the USA were experienced in South Africa, and thus the Apostolic Faith Mission was born. Later, these American workers returned to the United States, but the seed they had planted continued to germinate until the Apostolic Faith Mission reached its current proportions.

CMME has been affiliated with the Azusa Street Mission since 2003.

Preaching and carrying out Gospel missions throughout the world through:

CMME World Convention of Evangelical Ministers, Inc. (CMME) was founded in 1930 in Louisiana, the territory of the largest legendary concentration of black churches. It was created with a vision of a non-profit, religiously based service organization to serve, train, and educate African American missionaries to go to Africa for cross-cultural missions and to other continents to preach and win souls for Christ. Since 1930, CMME has partnered with hundreds of congregations and used its location to promote the global spread of the Gospel through committed missionaries, empowered servants, and enthusiastic supporters. Together, our goal is to reach the world with the Gospel of Christ. So, let's pray, let's go, and let's serve together and do humanitarian work worldwide.

CMME Family Impactful Unit

CMME supports missionaries and church leaders who are recommended by CMM WORLD MISSION, as well as CMMA and CMML or CWM, and other independent organizations linked to the same global missionary vision, along with local churches designated by the US government and representatives in Brazil, Asia, and Europe. CMME's work has a diverse focus, but its mission is the same: to reach the world for Christ. These missionaries are called by the Lord and recommended (sent) by local churches, and they practice faith-based missions, which means they seek only the Lord's guidance and the provision of their financial needs, without contractual ties to any agency, as we are independent organizations but all united, opening doors for all who are linked and registered with each authorized leadership and who have the oversight of each CMM president.

CMM Independent Institutions are global mission organizations focused on humanitarian work and leading people to God. They provide relief, education, health, and community development, with the ultimate goal of saving lives for eternity through the message of Jesus. The inspiration for their work comes from Psalm 41:1, which blesses those who help the needy, promising deliverance in the day of trouble.
