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 Fourth Era Of Modern Missions by David Parish

We are living in the most exciting times in the history of the Church. The first 30 or so years of the Church are detailed in the Book of Acts. The story from Pentecost to Paul’s arrival in Rome is told in 28 brief chapters and spans from 30 A.D. to about 60 A.D. The book tells the story and also demonstrates the pattern of what the church is designed to be and do. I would contend that the last 20 years of Christian History have begun to match the excitement of those initial years. The kingdom of God has been expanding exponentially and we are just beginning to see the impact of this on our world.   Here are some highlights from the last 20 years of Kingdom expansion. In 1989, a missionary begins to focus on an almost totally unreached Megabloc of peoples in North India. In initial outreach, 6 native evangelists are brutally murdered. From the ashes of this first attempt, the missionary begins to focus on a disciple making strategy, linked to Obedience based discipleship. B...

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...
