We travel the globe preaching the Gospel
Chris Dew Ministries exists to bring the Gospel into the “wild” so the “wild ones” will be saved, set free, and sent on mission by Jesus Christ.
Chris’ Story
Chris was born in Raleigh, NC with a severe stutter and unquenchable emptiness. He looked for anything that would calm his nerves and fill his void, which soon led him to drugs. By age 17, he was shooting up heroin daily and selling drugs to continue his habit.
On December 18th of 2010, Chris entered yet another rehab program weighing 100 lbs, deathly addicted to heroin, and still without the ability to talk. Six days later, he attended a church down the street from the rehab center and heard the Gospel. That night everything changed. Jesus snatched him out of hell and gave him a taste of the pleasure he'd been looking for.
Shortly after that God called him to preach and teach. Over the next few years, Jesus began healing Chris's voice and began to open doors for him to share his story and preach the gospel on many different platforms.
Since launching CDM in 2015, Chris and the CDM team have had the privilege of speaking at hundred of events and have seen thousands of people saved, set free, and sent on mission. Jesus uses weak people to do wild things because He gets all the glory.
Chris did undergrad work in psychology with a focus in substance abuse at Liberty University and is set to graduate with a masters in theological studies from Trinity Evangelical Divinity School (TEDS) in 2023. He is ordained for Gospel ministry through NewSpring Church in SC.
