Christian Witness Ministries (CWM) is a non-denominational church affiliation founded by the former National General Secretary of the Assemblies of God in Australia, Philip Powell[disambiguation needed 
]. CWM publishes a quarterly newsletter, Contending Earnestly for The Faith (CETF), to which numerous authors from many denominations contribute, including Dave Hunt[disambiguation needed ], Bill Randles, Peter Stokes, Jacob Prasch, Justin Peters and Aeron Morgan. CWM also runs a bookshop and holds a yearly bible conference with the same authors. CWM is a watchdog discernment ministry.
History
Philip Powell left the Australian Assemblies of God, believing that the church was preaching false doctrines and supporting false prophets and teachers. After his departure from the AOG, Powell became associated with others who have come to similar conclusions and to form Christian Witness Ministries.
CWM has made a stand against Australian Assemblies of God pastor Frank Houston, the father of Hillsong Church's Brian Houston. CWM is also a major critic of Hillsong Church.[1] CWM is mentioned in Tanya Levin's controversial book about Hillsong, People in Glass Houses.[2] CWM has made stands against the Toronto Blessing and the Pensacola outpouring, also known as the laughing spirit.
