Merry Christmas and Praise Reports from Honduras

Merry Christmas to all from World Missions and Evangelism, Inc. God has been so good to us this year, and we would like to give praise to Him for His many blessings to us and to those involved in the Honduras Church Planting Movement project. This year the geographic area of where the project was involved has expanded greatly. Last year at this time, Honduras was coming out of nearly 6 months of governmental crisis that had impacted our work as well. Today peace and stability have been reestablished (although the nation still has many problems). As an example of the works expansion: 3 years ago: December 2007 - The strategy coordinator team was preparing to begin the project, no work had begun. 2 years ago: December 2008 - The team had begun work in 5 departments of Honduras, but with no multiplication yet. 1 year ago: December 2009- The work had been hampered by nearly 6 months of government crisis, but the project was working both directly and catalytically in 6 or 7 departments

Will CPM work in the United States?

I think that the most frequently asked question I have had as I share about the Honduras project and CPM is "Will CPM work in the United States?" Here are some thoughts on that subject. 1. My first answer is yes. Someone might say, why are we not seeing cpm here yet then? My response is that we need a bit of historical perspective on this. Let me put it this way: 50 years ago, there was not cpm anywhere on the planet earth. I am not saying God was not working. There are always places of kingdom advance and revival and great harvests. 50 years ago we were talking about "Revival" and "Church Growth" and "People Movements", but not "Church Planting Movements". According to David Garrison's intitial books, a Church Planting Movement is: a rapid and multiplicative increase of indigenous churches planting churches within a given people group or population segment. Using this as a very general definition (one that is currently bei

More News from Honduras.

I want to thank everyone who prayed for Mario, one of our church planting coaches. We put the prayer request out online and a number of people prayed for him. Here is what happened: Mario and Paco, one of our 2 men CPM teams (Luke 10), specifically the team we call team 4, has just been deployed into a new department of Honduras. They are based in the city of Danli in the department of El Paraiso. They are just beginning the process of looking for persons of peace and making the relational contacts that will result in new Discovery Bible Studies. On December 13, Mario was on his motorcycle and was the victim of a hit and run incident. A truck hit him, knocking him from the motorcycle onto the road. The truck then sped away. Mario hit his head on the road and for a while, bleeding from the nose and mouth, looked to be possibly seriously hurt. His teammate Paco got him back to their home and gave him some medical attention, then they contacted our Strategy Coordinator, Randy Trav

Finding people of peace

Here is a testimony from one of our Honduran team members. This is as current as it gets. This happened in November. This is one of our most effective 2 person cpm coaching teams, 2 Honduran brothers named Jacobo and Adiel. Jacobo is telling this story: One day in the month of November Jacobo and Adiel were in a village called Cosiris, of San Juan , Department of Intibuca. I, Jacobo, was working on my motorcycle when I noticed a young man named Hector, walking towards me. I left what I was doing and rose up to meet him. Hector was a salesman from a village in the department of Lempira. I immediately began to talk with him about the Bible studies we do and began to explain to him how they work. I trained him on the spot on how to do the Bible studies with the Megavox. I then gave him a Megavox. After talking to him for a good long time he invited us to his home. So for two hours we road the motorcycles on horrible, horrible roads until we made it to his village. As
