About Children's Creative Resource Ministry
A Christian missionary organisation focused on the salvation and holistic development of children.
HOW IT ALL BEGAN
CCRM is a God-given initiative birthed in 2022 by Evangelists Nick and Shola Icha. Prior to this, Evangelist Nick Icha served as a full-time missionary in Children Evangelism Ministry International (CEM) for 30 years, retiring in 2021.
The President and founder of CEM, Evangelist Tony Chukwudile, released Evangelists Nick and Shola Icha from their service in June 2022 during the National Executive Council meeting of CEM. Following this, the couple sought God's guidance for their next steps in ministry, leading to the birth of CCRM.
In August 2023, Evangelist Tony Chukwudile dedicated Evangelists Nick and Shola Icha to their new assignment during the CEM International Children Ministers Conference (ICMC). He also pronounced blessings upon them to bear lasting fruits.
CCRM was named on Saturday, 23rd July 2022, and registered with the Corporate Affairs Commission of Nigeria in 2023. The members of the Board of Trustees have also been duly appointed.
