Paul Calvert spoke with Dr Garth Gilmour, the Executive Director of CMJ, about their work pioneering modern medical treatment in Jerusalem, and Christian education.
Continued from page 6
One of the things that we do, is that we have a conference every couple of years, again for discretion's sake I don't want to say too much, but where we meet with people from different backgrounds from the Middle East. We gather them to meet as believers together, to worship together, and to commune together, which is very exciting.
We also have a mercy fund, which is significant in its contribution to supporting the poor, the homeless, the outcast, widows, orphans, and the foreigners, in a biblical sense. So we are not only focused on reaching Jewish people, we work with all people.
Paul: What is your prayer for the future of CMJ?
Dr Gilmour: Our prayer is very simple, that we will fulfil the purposes of God for this nation in our generation.

Thank your for this interview & article. I am currently staying at the Christ Church Guest House in Jerusalem.
I was touring the museum here & kept reading abou CMJ but could not see anything that explained who CMJ was or what the letters represented. Out of curiosity I googled CMJ & came across your interview which was very enlightening!
My wife and I have been to Israel several times but this is our first time we have been in the country “on our own” but by now we have friends here & the Christ Church Guest House, church & coffee house have been a wonderful 4-night stay for us in the Old City of Jerusalem.
