Dear friends
This Spring Newsletter brings you greetings from C&M Ministries and an update on the future plans for the ministry.
It has now been more than a year since Monica went to live with her Saviour. This has obviously been a difficult time for Clifford and the rest of the team, but we would like to thank you for all the support we’ve received throughout the year. We hope that you will be encouraged to see the progress that we’ve been able to make to ensure the records of Clifford and Monica’s long ministry are made available to future generations.
In this Newsletter
New books
In 2025 we published 2 books: Today with Amos, Hosea and Micah; and Seeing the Hand of God. If you missed either of these, details of how the buy them can be found at:
Cliff also wrote a third book last year, ‘The Great Awakening’. We are currently in discussions with a publisher and hope to be able to confirm a publication date shortly. This book tracks the development of the charismatic movement from its early days in the 1950s through to the Toronto Blessing in the mid-1990s; looking at what can be learnt from the past and hope for the future. We believe that this book contains an important message for the church today so please pray that we are guided to the right publisher.
Cliff has now nearly completed his next (and possibly last?) book. ‘Why seek the Living Among the Dead?’ contains a message that Cliff has felt God urging him to write for many years. It is essentially a theological analysis of the early church, looking at its emphasis upon the resurrection and new life in Christ and the central concept of the community of believers as the body of Christ under the headship of Jesus. The book seeks ways in which this concept can be recovered in the church today.
Preserving the Ministry Archives
We reported in our last newsletter that we are planning to donate our large collection of archival material to the Evangelical Archive of Christianity in Britain and Ireland which is currently being established in partnership with Manchester University. This archive of church history is based in the University’s John Rylands Library and already includes the archives from many organisations including the Methodist Church, Christian Brethren and the Dr Williams’s Congregational Library.
We are thrilled to be able to donate the records of Clifford and Monica’s long and wide-ranging ministry to this collection. We have now sorted and catalogued the many boxes of material we have in our stores, and we are currently discussing the next steps with the library’s curator and archivists. We hope to be able to give you further news in our next update.
Further Website Developments
We are continuing to add more material to our website. As you know, the trustees agreed to use the donations we received in Monica’s memory to digitalise many of our resources and make them available on our website. Ben Robinson has been working on this project and has already expanded the ‘Church Growth’ section of our website. This can be viewed by following this link:
Understanding Church Growth and Decline
We are now expanding the ‘Teaching and Biblical Research’ section of the website where Ben has added some of Monica and Clifford’s ‘Prophecy and The Prophets’ teaching material. Clifford and Monica ran a number of in-person courses on this subject, as well as offering a correspondence course. Ben is aiming to complete this section by adding the full correspondence course notes shortly. This section can be viewed by following this link
We also hope to be able to make all past copies of Prophecy Today freely available for download soon and will give you an update on this ongoing work in our summer newsletter.
Please share our website address with anyone you think would find it interesting and useful.
And finally …
We pray God’s blessing for you all. Please continue to hold the ministry in your prayers. We will be in touch with you again in the Summer with more news of our on-going work and future plans.
Clifford, Jenny, Alison, Stephen, Angela, Neil, and the rest of the team.
