Coat of Many Colors Ministries began in 1999 when God called Ronnie Yother and his family into His service. A small business owner in Hixson, Tennessee, Ronnie and his family were always faithful, active members of the local church. However, as often happens in families, Ronnie, his wife Sandy and their three children Josh, Abbie and Mandy were going through a great deal of brokeness. "When the Lord had us right where He wanted us, He rescued us and revealed His purpose for our lives. We never saw it coming!" Now the family is growing and God has prepared ministry for each member. From church-planting to preaching and music, CMC is reaching the world with the love of Jesus Christ.

God revealed the name for our ministry, Coat of Many Colors, to our son Josh six years ago. The name was chosen in part, because of a "coat-drive" that CMC sponsored as our very first ministry opportunity. None of us realized at that time the very special significance of this very special name.

Several years later, as God has supernaturally provided for over 52 church buildings, the first orphanage and even our transportation to Brazil, we can see what Joseph's coat really represents. God is wrapping His coat of favor and blessings around ordinary people like us, so that His name can be glorified all over the world. God is faithful in the small things too. He had a perfect name for our ministry before we even knew there was a ministry!

Coat of Many Colors is a non-profit 501C organization. CMC is a "Kingdom-minded" ministry and is not bound by denomination. As "lay people", our testimony is very simple. We believe that God is looking for ordinary people to do extraordinary things! If He can use our family, He can use anyone.
