Perhaps the best way to learn about CMO is to ask those who have done it. The following is a brief collection of quotes from former CMO team members.

“I think the most exciting part is when I lay down at night, totally exhausted from a day given completely to ministry, and realize that I spent another entire day spreading the Gospel.”
—Jeff Rhoades, CMO 2006

“I think that CMO is an excellent way for guys to get a taste of foreign missions through a short-term mission trip. It is designed in such a way that guys can still be useful in spreading the gospel without even knowing the language. It equips guys with the knowledge they need to begin a ministry of their own back home.”
—Andrew Darbyshire, CMO 2007

“The overall CMO project was a great success, not because we had X amount of people saved, or X amount of people sign up for the Bible course, but because we are out here preaching the Gospel as commanded.”
—Tucker Mullens, CMO 2007

“I feel almost like I'm in a training camp and I can't wait to get back and keep doing what I'm doing here.”
—Jonathan Rhoades, CMO 2006

“I liked the fact that we learned how to start a [Bible correspondence school] in the states and other ministries also. You should let everyone know about the training that you get by going. Thanks so much for doing CMO, I REALLY enjoyed it!!”
—Matthias Smith, CMO 2007

“Racing my son from mailbox to mailbox to deliver the Gospel message and seeing how much he enjoys doing mission work is a memory worth all the cost and difficulties to be here.”
—Jeff Rhoades, CMO 2006

“I think living in a different culture will affect my outlook on life. Ministering here has helped the fire for evangelism become greater.”
—Jonathan Steele, CMO 2006

“How can you summarize CMO...? In one word: life-changing.”
—Bryan Shufelt, CMO 2006
