About the ministry
Teacher Matthew Lee Ministries is Christ’s Heartbeat’s teaching daughter ministry, run by our founder Matthew Lee.
This ministry precedes the founding of CHMI and was founded in September 2016 when Matthew – led by the Spirit of the Lord – began his YouTube channel. Since its inception, there have been almost 1000 encouraging messages posted on the YouTube channel.
In July 2020, during the covid-19 pandemic, the Lord placed it on Matthew’s heart to begin a daily devotional video series, to encourage people during the challenging times. God gave him the title “From heaven at seven” for the series. From 2020-2022 Matthew Produced two full seasons of the series, totaling over 700 videos, which can be found on the Teacher Matthew Lee Facebook page and YouTube channel. After successfully completing two seasons of From Heaven at Seven, He began a weekly devotional series called the “Weekly Word of Encouragement “, which completed its second season in mid 2025.
However, the ministry has also expanded to include a variety of additional facets. CHMI have developed their own unique Soul Winning Workshop, called “Code RED” where they train up entire congregations in living a lifestyle of evangelism and how to be a more effective witness to those around us.
Teacher Matthew also works in partnership with Christian Family Church International. Since 2022 Matthew has been serving alongside their missions department to train and equip the CFCI pastors and congregations across the continent of Africa.
Matthew also preaches at various churches around the world, teaches pastors and leaders crucial church growth principles, and lectures some of the foundational courses and the 1st-3rd year subjects at various CFCI Bible College campuses.
In 2025 Matthew helped compile, establish and launch CFCI’s Leadership academy, under the guidance of his mentor – Dr Andre Wilmans. To date he continues his work for the Leadership Academy, training and equipping trainers. These trainers then reteach the Leadership Academy content to their congregations, in some of the most remote and unreached parts of the world. More on this to follow soon – keep an eye on our social media accounts…

#ThrowbackTuesday to last month, for the launch of CFCI's Leadership Academy in Zimbabwe...
.
From the 19th to the 26th of May, I had the privilege of accompanying Dr Andre to Zimbabwe for the launch of CFCI's Leadership Academy. We were accompanied, for the first two nights, by Johan – who went to Zimbabwe for a CFCI Bible College audit.
.
The goal of Leadership Academy is to reach the unreached, teach the untaught and to connect those who are disconnected, through life-giving, Biblical teachings. Leadership Academy aims to cultivate a new generation of Christian leaders by grounding them in Biblical truth, deepening their faith, strengthening their character, and preparing them to lead in ministry, so that God's name may be glorified in every nation.
.
We conducted training over the course of four full days, from Tuesday to Friday, where we trained 30 trainers on how to communicate our content, in a relevant and simple way for anyone to be able to understand. After completing the training, the trainers wrote a test on the content they were taught and were given their teaching assignments to complete over the course of the next year.
.
On the Sunday, CFCI Zimbabwe hosted a joint celebration service that Dr Andre and I attended, where Dr Andre preached a powerful message on forgiveness. After the service, Dr Andre prayed for the leaders as well as for people’s prayer requests.
.
We look forward to seeing the success of the trainers’ teaching assignments over the next few months, as well as to return to Zimbabwe next year to teach the content of semester 2!
