Our Vision
IMPACTING NATIONS THROUGH GROWING AND PLANTING HEALTHY CHURCHES
The purpose of CLM is summarized in a single sentence based on two key scriptures: “We believe a great commitment to the great commandment and the great commission will grow a great church”
Founding Pastors
Elmer and Sherry Komant, have served as PAOC missionaries on the continent of Africa for 36 years. They are passionate about church planting and empowering a young generation, to rise up and provide godly leadership with integrity. The churches they planted in Zambia, Kenya, and Rwanda have matured and are now taking great strides under the headship of national leaders. After 12 years, following the nationalisation of Christian Life Assambly (CLA) in Rwanda, the Komants, (in partnership with a gifted team of African Missionaries – all sponsored by their home churches), took on the challenge of planting a radical English Speaking church – Christian Life Ministries (CLM) in Bujumbura, Burundi.
The founding team came from Christian Life Assembly (Rwanda), Watoto Church (Uganda), Christ Is The Answer Ministries (Kenya) and Mombasa Pentecostal Church (Kenya). They were soon joined by a “Worship and Creative Arts” Pastor from the U.K. and CLM’s first Burundian Youth Pastor and Burundian Children’s Pastors have been added. This “flavourful” leadership team is comprised of members from 6 different nations. Each missionary member of this team recognised their responsibility to “pass the baton” to capable local staff.
