Brief History
The Charismatic Renewal Ministries Inc. is God’s idea. The prophetic birthing of the Charismatic Renewal Ministries occurred on the 18th February, 1980, at the University of Ife (now Obafemi Awolowo University).
The Lord commissioned the CRM to start preparing men for a great harvest in the Catholic Church. The Ministry has since been committed to this in obedience to the Lord. The Ministry was led by God to adopt the Core Group system of Leadership. This is a plural or group leadership and shared responsibility.
The leader of the General Core Group (the highest leadership body of the ministry) ipso facto becomes the leader of the Ministry and her Chief Executive Officer, otherwise called the General Overseer.
