about us.
Crazy Faith Ministries is a non-profit committed to improving the lives of “the least of these” through teaching the concept of the power of “crazy faith” in surmounting the issues faced by people in this society. CFM believes in taking “the good news” to people who have been marginalized, empowering them to live their fullest lives.
