Redeeming the Time

I want to update all the readers of the WME blog about where we are in the Honduras cpm project. Hopefully you have been able to keep up with some of the news from Honduras. One of the most helpful places that I have found is the Bloomberg.com website. They are posting multiple articles each day (at least as of this posting) about the situation in Honduras. It is just one way of getting some news of the situation down there.

Randy and Linda Travis and their son Keith are in the U. S. Keith will be returning to Mexico in a few days. Randy and Linda will be coming up to the WME home office in Benton, Ky to work on some recording materials for use in our project. We will be producing some materials at a studio in Mayfield, Ky. Randy is working hard at his home in Alabama to produce the material that will be recorded for use in our project in Honduras. Randy will be with us the end of this month. Our goal is to use the time that they are out of the country of Honduras to do some work on materials to use in Honduras, thus redeeming the time. Our plan is for the Travis familes to return to Honduras as soon as possible after the work has been done.

I was at a conference in San Antonio last week and want to thank Pastor Kenneth Harbaum for helping to get several key pieces of equipment donated to our project. Randy will be able to take these things back with him when he returns.

Meanwhile, in Honduras, our church planting team of Honduran workers are continuing to work in village areas, looking for people of peace and endeavoring to begin new discovery Bible studies. Because of the travel problems that they have had, they are working in a different area than we have been. Thus, these circumstances may result in the gospel going into new areas, in which we were not previously working.

What we believe is that by the power of God and through your prayers, the difficult circumstances through which Honduras is passing will result in the advance of the gospel and more churches planted and souls saved, to the glory of God.

Thanks much for your prayers as the work moves forward in the Honduras Church Planting Movement project.

7 Stages of a Disciple Making Movement

In this blog post, I want to introduce the reader to the 7 stages of a developing disciple making movement. Then in my next teaching post on this blog, I want to specifically focus on 1 of the stages that seems to be challenging to many practitioners of the dmm/cpm strategy.   These 7 stages are broad categories that encapsulate several of the Critical Elements of disciple making movements. If you check out several of my older posts from several years ago (especially from the first year of the blog 2008) you will find several blogposts that describe what we call Critical Elements.  (This series of blogposts from 2008 are entitled  "The Critical Elements","Critical Elements of a Church Planting Movement", "Passionate Extraordinary Prayer", "Authority of Scripture and Obedience", "Rain and the Holy Spirit", "Miracles", "The 1:8 Factor", "The Strategic Critical Elements", and finally "The Discipleship E

The Holy Spirit and Disciple Making Movements

Recently at the Disciple Making Movement leadership meeting in California, one of the main topics that we focused on was the Role of the Holy Spirit.  A key leader from West Africa led the discussion of this topic.  I remember being especially challenged by this study and by interactions with this leader.  He is a special friend who I have known since 2006, and his influence has touched me greatly.  In the last few weeks since the meeting, I have reflected, prayed, and begun to seek the influence of the Holy Spirit more than I had been doing in recent years.  Now I want to share some reflections on the role of the Holy Spirit in Disciple Making Movements (which may or may not reflect the discussions we had in California).  Regardless of where one stands theologically, it cannot be denied that those who focus attention on the Holy Spirit's activity have seen the launching of some of the largest "Movements" in the history of the Church.  Think of the Pentecostal/Charism

Non-Cessationist Sola Scriptura: The Theology of CPM

I believe in a theological position that I call Non-Cessationist Sola Scriptura. Sola Scriptura refers to the Reformation doctrine that means "Scripture Alone" and that asserts that the Bible alone, the 66 books of the Old and New Testaments, are the only inspired Word of God and that they are the sole authority for God's people, flawlessly communicating God's will to mankind. The "Sola" or "Only" part asserts that nothing else does this or has this authority....Not Tradition, Magisterium, Hierarchy, Leaders, or Experiences from whatever source....ONLY SCRIPTURE! Non-Cessationist refers to the concept that God still is active in the world and in the lives of people today in overtly supernatural ways. It says that no activity of God, described in the Bible, has ceased just because that the Bible is now complete. It asserts that all of the gifts, operations, and manifestations of the Holy Spirit described in the Bible may continue to happen to the en
