CEM was started by
the CEFL together with missionaries from Christian Reformed World Missions.
It is now administered and run entirely by Liberians. CEM has six departments:
- Church Leadership.
The Theological Education by Extension (TEE) program continues to graduate
preachers, ministers, and teachers of the Gospel (see TEE
Curriculum). Christian women now share pulpits equally with men.
- Translation.
The whole Bible has been translated into the Bassa language. CRWM sponsored
this program over many years while the United Bible Societies oversaw
the translation. The Bassa Bible was dedicated in May, 2005.
- Primary Helath
Care. Since 1982, the medical clinic in this department has not
closed, other than temporarily when fighting peaked. Extension classes
for midwives and village health workers have been suspended because
of the war, but the clinics have attended to the health needs of thousands
of people.
- Literature.
A production center prints materials for all the TEE and other adult
education programs, and supplies printed materials to the community.
The production center is also the location for the main offices of the
CEFL.
- Agriculture.
Although CEFL originally intended this as a food production ministry,
it developed into a teaching ministry for local farmers.
- Scholarship.
CEFL offers scholarships to students in grade schools and TEE centers
in Liberia. Our overseas scholarship program has been suspended due
to the civil war.
