About CRMI
Who We Are
An indigenous ministry with an international focus, raised up to see God’s people restored.
Christ Restoration Ministries International — known also as C.R.M.I – Restoration City — is a church family in Freetown, Sierra Leone, gathered around one conviction: that the God who restores is still restoring today.
Our constitution describes us as an indigenous ministry with an international focus. Indigenous, because we are rooted here, among our own people, in our own community, speaking to the realities of life in Sierra Leone. International in focus, because the commission we have received does not stop at any border.
The mandate entrusted to this ministry is restoration — the restoration of God’s people through redemption, deliverance and salvation; through discipleship and sound teaching; through evangelism, church planting, humanitarian work and mission at home and abroad.
We are not a large ministry. We are a praying one. What you will find when you visit is a congregation that takes the Word of God seriously, worships without pretence, and believes that no life is beyond the reach of God’s restoring hand.
“For ye have sold yourselves for nought; and ye shall be redeemed without money.” Isaiah 52:3
Our Mission
Reach, Preach and Teach the Word of God
With an unwavering emphasis on restoration and salvation.
“All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth. Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world.” Matthew 28:18–20
