Open doors, multiplication, and needs
The month of October has been a whirlwind of activity for WME and its CPM project. The American missionary team has returned home (with the exception of Keith Travis who is in south Mexico). The Honduras project is seemingly exploding! I have just returned from Kenya where God is opening doors for future CPM training. Here is a brief report.
In Kenya, I was with our WME missionary Larry Hardin. We conducted a 3 day pastors and leaders conference, which is an annual event. The speakers were Larry Hardin, Christy Anderson, Russell Bivin, Don Runkle, Paul Tocco, Donna Tocco, one other brother and myself. It was a great conference with about 80 in attendance in Nyaharuru, Kenya. During my 6 conference sessions, I laid the foundation for CPM understanding. None of these leaders knew anything about church planting movements. During the conference, other speakers emphasized the need for Kenyan leaders to focus on the north of Africa. I encouraged a vision to reach the north with CPM. The Lord was really with us during this time. About 70 expressed an interest in a future CPM training. Seed was sown, so join us in prayer for the seed to grow and new church planters to emerge from these leaders in the future. Then we had the graduation for the Centre for Biblical Studies. It was a great event with about 600 attending including some community and government people. Afterward the school was invited to begin more outposts throughout Kenya.
In Honduras, the inductive bible studies in both the east and west continue to multiply. At present there may be as many as 191 studies. We are amazed at this multiplication and give God the glory for it. Please pray for the workers that are there. Also pray for multiplication to continue. And most importantly, pray for the people in the studies. They are being led week by week into an understanding of the gospel. We are believing for a large harvest of souls and the people are called to faith and obedience to Christ. And the result will be new churches that continue to multiply.
Now about needs. The Honduras movement needs the power of God and blessings of God more than anything, so that means prayer. Please make this a daily part of your prayer. Pray with us that this project will move forward and really become a church planting movement that will not only affect Honduras, but also the whole of central America.
Also, there is a material need. As we move toward the close of 2009, the project still needs financial support. If any reader would like to make a donation toward the HCPM project, you can send support to : WME
