Here is some important information for readers of the WME blog. I call it Wells, Webinars , and Websites. Wells: Here's the latest on the status of the Honduras Church Planting Movement project. We have now been working in western Honduras for 7 months. After deploying the missionary team and developing the base where the training would take place between June 2007 and April 2008, training of Honduran church planters began in May 2008 and continued through June. Beginning in late July 2008, the team began to move into the towns and villages in the targeted region. In the 7 months between July 23, 2008 and today, February 26, 2009, the team has conducted a variety of access ministries to help the communities. Backpacks of school supplies have been distributed to school children. Thousands of vitamins have been distributed to families. Micro business enterprises have blessed villages. And 7 wells have been drilled for needy families and communities. Because of these commun

World Missions and Evangelism is committed to helping the process of bringing closure to the Great Commission. WME does this through both a networking ministry of helps for missionaries around the world and through the fostering of church planting movements.

That is twenty-three nations on seven continents! Category 2: Church Planting and Unreached Peoples WME is involved in pioneer church planting and church planting movements.

In this post, I want to recommend some resources that will be helpful concerning missions and church planting movements. I think that by recommending some books, I can help people to go deeper into the cutting edge strategies that are bearing fruit in the harvest of souls. Let me start by recommending Perspectives on the World Christian Movement, edited by Ralph Winter and Steven Hawthorne. This book was first produced in 1981 and then revised in 1992, 1999, and just last month in January 2009. This is a large book that is a set of readings in missions by numerous authors and produced by the U.S. Center for World Missions, in Pasadena , California. It is also a 15 week course that can be taken for college credit or just a certificate and is taught in hundreds of locations in the U.S. and around the world. I had the privilege of being part of the contributing team to this 4 th edition of Perspectives, by helping produce some of the study questions for the book. Perspectives, the bo

Dear Blog reader, This article is to update you on events at the home office of World Missions and Evangelism. WME is located in Marshall County Kentucky, which was declared by President Obama to be a Federal Disaster Area yesterday. On Tuesday January 27, this whole region was hit by an ice storm of a sort that has not been seen here in decades. From Arkansas to Kentucky over 1.3 million people were without power. Our locality was one of the hardest hit. Our office was closed from Tuesday the 27 th till Monday the 2 nd of February. We did not have Internet access in the office until yesterday the 5 th . By the grace of God WME has no real damage. Our process and communication with our missionaries around the world was disrupted, but by yesterday, everything is back to normal and we are caught up. Special thanks to the maintenance staff of Christian Fellowship Church, who spent 2-3 days cleaning up downed limbs to give us access to the office parking lot. Also to Jenny
