Our Name

CMML Flight Service
CMML Flight Service can be a
misleading name. The emphasis on our name should be on the
word "Service", as we are not just involved in
flying. We believe that the Lord has enabled the Flight
Service to develop an integrated service ministry in Zambia
which particularly benefits those serving with CMML Christian
Brethren in Zambia and other associated evangelical mission
personnel. It not only provides a flight option to assist busy
missionaries with rapid and safe transport, and the
comfortable movement of medical patients, but also the
availability of administrative services and accommodation in
the capital of Zambia, Lusaka. This meets a particular need in
CMML, as we have no mission personnel presently based in
Lusaka. You will see under the section "Services",
that there are many other ways in which we serve God's
servants.
C.M.M.L. (Christian
Missions in Many Lands) is a service organization to
Missionaries from North America sent out from their home
assemblies. There are approximately 747 missionaries with
CMML/MSC worldwide.
Christian Missions In Many
Lands, Inc.
http://www.cmmlusa.org
was established in 1921 as a
non-profit, faith-based missionary service organization to
serve missionaries commended by local assemblies gathering to
the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ, sometimes known as Plymouth
brethren. These local assemblies are autonomous without any central committee or
headquarters. Based on New Testament principles, missionaries
are called by the Lord, commended by their local assembly and
look to the Lord alone for direction and the supply of their
financial needs.
Many missionaries come from other parts of the world, through
similar organizations that are affiliated with CMML, such as
MSC (Missionary Service Committee) in Canada, Echoes of
Service in the UK, Interlink in Scotland, Tidings in
Australia, etc… Worldwide, the total is approximately 1500
missionaries. For more information click

CMML Flight Service gets its
name from serving the CMML missionaries here in Zambia, but is
not considered a part of CMML - United States. However, we are
closely associated with them as we use the same name that our
mission in Zambia is registered by.
CMML Mission in Zambia
CMML, the second largest mission and health care provider in Zambia,
is located in rural areas of the North Western, Luapula and Copperbelt Provinces. It is linked internationally to
non-denominational assemblies of Christians sometimes known as the Plymouth
brethren, which are spread
throughout the world. In Zambia we have over 1000 local
assemblies, both rural and urban. The assemblies in Zambia
were registered with the Government as "CMML" or
"Christian Brethren".
Our rural activities as a Mission are based at 13 centers,
most of which include a hospital or Rural Health Center, and
Bible teaching.
CMML Missions are fully
committed to the medical work and currently run 5 hospitals, 2
rural health centers and many small clinics, in full
co-operation with the Ministry of Health. They also accept the
responsibility for educational and primary health care
activities. A major commitment is being carried out in the
field of AIDS counseling, education and awareness in addition
to treatment.
A large mission press at
Musenga (near Chingola) prints Christian literature and books
in twenty-five languages for South/Central Africa.
The training of leaders for
our many local assemblies is carried out in all mission
centers, but particularly at two residential Bible Schools,
at one of which there is a trade skills training center at Nyangombe.
Sakeji Mission School
was started as a school for assembly missionary children and
is now directed by a Board of Governors, consisting of CMML
missionaries within Zambia. It provides a high quality,
boarding, primary level education for the children of
missionaries and others. It accepts non-mission expatriates
and Zambians. At Mambilima the mission has one of the few
boarding schools in the country for physically handicapped
children.
