Latest blogs

In CMSI, we get to hear lots of incredible stories: stories of God’s people engaging in God's mission; stories of lives transformed; stories of hope, renewal, light and love.

Our news and blog updates will give you a flavour of how God is at work in our world. Our monthly updates, inMission magazine and Link Letters from our Mission Personnel will inform and inspire you - and fuel your prayers.

We hope that these stories encourage you to connect, equip and transform.
