Christian Missionary Fellowship International (CMFI) is a non-denominational, non-profit, Christian organization that sends out missionaries around the globe. Based in Indianapolis, CMF has missionaries in more than 17 countries including the United States. The purpose of CMFI is to train and send vocational and bi-vocational missions workers to evangelize in non-converted areas.〔Priest, Doug (07/15/2001). "From Lines to Circles", ''The Christian Standard''; Vol. 136:28〕 ==History== CMFI began in 1946 after Christian missionary Jess Johnson traveled to India. During his time there he began to brainstorm different ideas for missionary relations with the countries and communities in which missionaries are stationed. When he arrived back in America, Johnson contacted Christian leaders around the nation to come up with different strategies for the mission's work. In 1952 CMFI was founded at Manhattan Bible College in Kansas. During the course of its first year, CMFI sent missionary families into India. During the 1960s CMFI rexpanded and teams of missionaries began to penetrate countries like Ethiopia and Brazil. In the 1970s and 1980s CMFI had missionaries operating in Kenya, Mexico, Tanzania, Chile, and England. By the next decade teams were also working in Singapore, Benin, Thailand, Ukraine, and the Ivory Coast as were intercultural groups within the United States. There is a CMFI presence in 16 countries and around 165 missionaries are in the field.
