CBMC began as Christian Business Men's Committee in the United States in 1930 when a small group of Christian businessmen coordinated a series of pre-Easter prayer rallies. With the Great Depression in its second year, these men saw an urgent need for spiritual revival and took it upon themselves to plan a six-week evangelistic series of meetings at the Garrick Theater, in the Chicago loop area. Public response to the first gathering on January 6, 1931, was overwhelming, as more than 800 packed into the 800-seat facility for all six sessions. Apparently, God had greater plans for this ministry than its seven founders could have ever imagined. As the meetings were drawing to a close, the downtown business community wanted to continue the gatherings as more and more men were experiencing life change through their newfound relationship with Christ. Another indication that God was blessing this ministry from its inception was that similar groups were soon popping up all over the nation: San Francisco, Seattle, New York, and many other cities began staging their own version of these prayer vigils. In 1937, just six years after that first meeting at the Chicago Theater, all of the splinter groups around the nation were linked together under the acronym: CBMC. Five men, Charles E. Gremmels, Arnold Grunigen, CB Hedstrom, Dr. NA Jepson, and RG LeTourneau comprised the steering committee that directed the early years of the CBMC ministry. They planned and executed the first CBMC international conference in 1938, with a charge to bring men from committees around the globe into closer fellowship and mutual commitment to Christ. In the 1990’s CBMC officially changed its name to Christian Business Men’s Connection, but no matter what the name, there have been so many faces and names that have made this ministry thrive. RG LeTourneau, Joe Cogeshall, Ted DeMoss and Ted Hubbard. There was Roger Erickson, Tim Philpott, and Charlie “Tremendous” Jones. All of these ministry giants embraced two core beliefs: share the gospel with those who don’t know the Good News and then go and make disciples. Be intentional about carrying out The Great Commission. (Matthew 28:19-20) Today, there are strongholds of CBMC men in 48 of the 50 states and in 98 nations around the globe. No matter where you go, businessmen agree, impacting the world for Jesus Christ is paramount. In the past few years, Operation Timothy has gone digital; likewise Living Proof, a reality-based video series created to help you share the gospel in a natural, caring, and Bible-centered lifestyle. Both of these amazing resources are offered absolutely free of charge at advance.cbmc.com We underwent a significant reorganization in 1973, with autonomous CBMC organizations being established in individual countries to better deal with linguistic and cultural differences. Although these CBMC bodies have independent governing powers, an International Board of Directors oversees the work around the world, seeking to pool effective strategies and to show how they can be adapted in differing national environments to successfully present the Gospel to non-Christians. In 2015, our Marketplace Ambassador Initiative debuted and the interest level has exceeded our expectations. Paul reminds us in 2 Corinthians 5:20 that we are all ambassadors for Christ; but the question is, how effective are we? To learn more about what it means to be an effective Marketplace Ambassador go to www.marketplaceambassador.com. CBMC is highly focused on embracing the next generation of Christ-centered men and we understand to accomplish that, we must be relevant. We must care about their dreams and their desires. We must embrace them authentically and lay out a path for them to run on. Most of all, we must excite and engage their imaginations; because if we don’t something else will. Since 1930, God has continued to find favor with CBMC. He has blessed our ministry and all those who have stood up, raised their hand and said: “I will, Lord… I will teach and lead my fellow-man.” The sincerity of purpose and a resolute belief in what we are doing, makes a profound difference and are the two pillars that have kept CBMC strong. From the Garrick Theater in Chicago to the boardrooms of the global marketplace, we have the power to either watch it happen or help CBMC make it happen.
