MANANTIAL MINISTRIES
CEMIM is a biblical seminary set up to train local christian leaders from the jungle on how to reach their own with sound doctrine.
​
Started 2008, by the Missionary Don Wolfram, who is a dear friend and one of our mentors in the ministry, it has helped many jungle pastors and christian leaders who have no base or normal biblical teaching readily available so as to grow strongly on a firm foundation.
The seminary is set up to accommodate the people coming out of the jungle. Classes are given once every other month, for a week long session, with classes every day from 8am-5:30pm. The lessons are set up like a normal seminary, and after completing the 16 classes, the students can graduate with an associates in Biblical Theology. The goal is not to put an emphasis on studies or degrees, but rather to base spiritual walks and teachings on biblical doctrine. Many people come, from the jungle villages and communities, and also from the nearby towns and cities. Some are pastors, some leaders in their churches, and others feel God may be calling them to the ministry, or they are just starting their spiritual walk, and are seeking a strong biblical base. Whoever they are, and wherever they come from, they are accepted; because more than just a seminary, it provides a family and peer group for the often otherwise isolated churches and their leaders, allowing them to socialize and share their victories and struggles, as well as challenge each other in their personal and ministerial walks.
What We Do: Mark started attending in 2009, and later graduated from this seminary, all the while establishing a good relationship with many of his fellow students, many of which we continue to support and minister alongside to this very day.
Mark has also taught a number of sessions there since 2016, and really enjoys it! Teaching is undoubtedly my strong point and gift in ministry, and I really enjoy being able to help this seminary in this way. The current students always look forward to spending time together, asking questions, and seeking Gods' word and direction. We always try to mix up the teachers, so as to keep things fresh for the students; but even when i'm not teaching, I head up there as much as possible to visit with, pray for and see how the different ministers and ministries are coming along.
