Pray in November

The month of November is here and our HCPM project continues to move forward. There are 2 specific areas where we need our intecessors to focus this month as God opens doors for the advance of the work.

On November 11, I will be traveling to Tegusigalpa, the capital of Honduras, to speak at a conference of Missionaries. Workers from around Honduras will be gathered to be encouraged and taught. This will be the annual conference of the Fellowship in Honduras (connected with the Full Gospel Fellowship of Churches and Ministers, Intl. based in Dallas TX). The director, missionary John Mattica, has been a long time friend. Also traveling with me will be businessman Caleb Gentry, who will be looking at ways business can assist mission in Honduras.

The conference and the subsequent speaking opportunity will be on the 12th through the 14th and then Caleb and I will be traveling home. So you can see that it is a very quick trip, but I hope a very significant one. During the conference I will be sharing some basic CPM principles and I would ask you to pray that God will touch hearts and open doors for strategic partnerships which can be catalyzed in order to see CPM spread throughout Honduras and Central America.

Simultaneously, around the 15th of the month, Randy Travis will be moving 2 of our primary project team members into another department, El Paraiso, to the town of Danli to begin a new beachhead in our project. This will be the beginning of work in a 9th department of Honduras. Pray for these team members, Paco and Mario as they begin seeking persons of peace in this department.

Thanks so much for your prayers and support. We believe that we are in Honduras "for such a time as this". God is about to do a mighty work and your prayers are an important part of this.

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
