History of CDMI

At the beginning of the 18th Century the Great Awakening spread over Europe and America. This spiritual revival continued into the 19th century. Many Bible Societies sprang up and the distribution of the Word of God was great. This created an environment here in the United States and Europe of personal inquiry into many doctrinal topics that had been hidden in the mire of misunderstanding of the Scriptures. Concurrently, a plurality of Bible helps such as concordances, dictionaries, and histories arose, an expectation and joy of coming to a clearer appreciation of the character and plan of God led many in personal and group Bible studies to arrive at conclusions that inspired a revival in the Christian community, especially along the lines of the soon-expected second coming of Christ.

Limodzi mwa magulu ameneŵa linayamba kukhala ndi utsogoleri wa Charles T. Russell, mlaliki wamba ndiponso wophunzira Baibulo, amene anapereka moyo wake ndi chuma chake chambiri kulengeza za kamvedwe kake kamene anafikirako. Pokhala wolemba mabuku wochulukirachulukira, iye anayambitsa gulu lomwe linali lofalikira padziko lonse lapansi, ndipo pambuyo pa imfa yake mu 1916 linakhala ponse paŵiri lokhazikika m’maganizo ndi loletsedwa muufulu. Akristu angapo anasiya gulu limeneli kuchiyambiyambi, mu 1909, kapena m’zaka zotsatira pambuyo pa imfa yake, kaamba ka ufulu wokulirapo mwa Kristu. Awiri mwa magulu omwe anapangidwa mu 1909 adadziwika kuti New Covenant Fellowship ndi New Covenant Believers, osati kuti mamembala awo adasankha mayinawa, koma kuchokera ku mayina a ena omwe adawagwiritsa ntchito monga kufotokozera kuti awasiyanitse ndi magulu ena. Mofananamo, Akristu oyambirira anali kudziŵika monga otsatira a “Njirayo” ( Machitidwe 9:2 ) chifukwa chakuti analozera kwa Yesu monga njira yoyanjanitsira ndi kuyanjana ndi Mulungu. 

One of these groups developed around the leadership of Charles T. Russell, a lay preacher and Bible student, who devoted his life and considerable fortune to promulgating the clearer understanding he had come to. A prolific writer, he developed an organization that was world-wide in scope, and after his death in 1916 became both fixed in thought and restricted in freedoms. A number of Christians left this organization early, in 1909, or in the ensuing years upon his death, for greater liberty in Christ. Two of the groups formed in 1909 became known as the New Covenant Fellowship and the New Covenant Believers, not that their members chose these names, but from designations by others who used it as a description to differentiate them from other groups. Similarly, the first Christians were known as followers of “The Way” (Acts 9:2) because they pointed to Jesus as the way to reconciliation and fellowship with God.

Mu 1928 gulu la abale olekanitsidwa m’dera la Hartford, Connecticut linapanga mpingo ndipo linkatchedwa New Creation Fellowship. Gaetano Boccaccio anali mmodzi wa akulu awo ndipo mu 1940, anayamba kufalitsa magazini ya The New Creation mokhazikika. Utumiki umenewu unakula mpaka kufalitsa mathirakiti ndi timabuku komanso magazini, amene tsopano akufalitsidwa padziko lonse. Anapatsidwa dzina la Christian Millennial Fellowship (CMF). Ndi imfa ya woyambitsa wake mu 1996, ntchitoyo inapitirizidwa motsogozedwa ndi Elmer Weeks wa ku Port Murray, New Jersey, USA.

In 1928 a group of separated brethren in the Hartford, Connecticut area formed a congregation and were known as the New Creation Fellowship. Gaetano Boccaccio was one of their elders and in 1940, he began to publish The New Creation magazine regularly. This ministry expanded to publishing tracts and booklets as well as the magazine, which is now distributed world-wide. It was given the name of Christian Millennial Fellowship (CMF). With the death of its founder in 1996, the work was continued under the oversight of Elmer Weeks of Port Murray, New Jersey, USA.

Kugwa kwa 2011 CMF idakhala Christian Discipling Ministries International (CDMI) kuti iwonetse bwino ntchito yathu yolimbikitsa Akhristu anzathu kukhwima mwa Khristu, ndipo oyang'anira atsopano akhala akugwira ntchito yosinthira ku kutsindika kwatsopano kumeneku pomwe Elmer Weeks akupitilizabe ngati mkonzi wa nyuzipepala. Magazini ya New Creation. Panopa pali mipingo yambiri yaufulu yachikristu m’mayiko ena imene yalandira uthenga wake ndipo ikulalikira mwakhama.

In the fall of 2011 CMF became Christian Discipling Ministries International (CDMI) to better reflect our mission work of building up fellow Christians to maturity in Christ, and new management has been working on the transition to this new emphasis while Elmer Weeks continues as editor of The New Creation magazine. There are now many free Christians congregations in foreign countries that have embraced its message and are actively spreading the good news.

CDMI imathandizidwa ndi kuwolowa manja kwa opereka ochokera padziko lonse lapansi. Zofalitsa zake zonse zimaperekedwa kwaulere ndipo ogwira ntchito ku CDMI ndi odzipereka omwe amapereka nthawi ndi mphamvu zawo monga kwa Ambuye.
