In October 1988 Terry and Robin Walling stepped off the plane at Melbourne airport to begin the story of Church Resource Ministries Australia.
Eight years earlier, a small group of men and women highly committed to world evangelization had founded CRM US. They were convinced of the central role of the local church in God’s plan to reach the world for Christ.
All had broad experience in personal discipleship – primarily gained through involvement with the Navigators – and all had a deep love for the local church.
All of CRM’s early staff believed that the local church was the “sleeping giant of world evangelization.”
CRM’s leadership realized at the organization’s inception that the Spirit of God is moving in unprecedented fashion in numerous areas around the world. Deeply committed to the “ta ethne” of which the Great Commission speaks, CRM believes that the task to which God has called this ministry will not be fulfilled until there is a viable evangelical church, serious about and committed to the biblical mandate of world evangelization, in every people group in the world.
Today, staff serve in major metropolitan areas throughout North and South America, Europe, Africa, Asia, and Australia.
Embedded in CRM is a deep-seated spirituality and biblical passion for the supernatural hand of God to sovereignly work to bless and multiply His Church around the globe. No expertise or training for ministry replaces the Lordship of Christ exercised by the power of the Holy Spirit.
