"Give me a place to stand on, and I will move the Earth." -Archimedes Why is WME focused on the nation of Honduras at the present time? World Missions and Evangelism has ministries in many nations as we showed in a recent blog (January 12, 2012). In that post, we wanted to highlight that WME is impacting many nations and that our vision is for the whole world. But it is also true that our church planting focus has narrowed in the last few years to this CPM project in Honduras. Why is that? I thought that in this posting, I would share how we think Honduras is pivotal in a Whole World strategy. I. Poverty: Moral, Spiritual, Economic, and Educational Honduras is a poor nation in so many ways. Honduras is a nation of many needs. Jesus told us that "Blessed are the poor" (Luke 6: 20) and Honduras is one of the poorest nations in the world, and especially in the Western Hemisphere, if we are talking about Economic Poverty. But Honduras is also one of the poores...

Big news has come from Honduras today. Here are portions of the article from the Associated Press: "All 158 Peace Corps volunteers in Honduras left the country on Monday, weeks after the United States announced that it would pull them out for safety reasons. The region is plagued by gang violence and Honduras is considered to have the highest murder rate in the world. Honduras President Porfirio Lobo said Monday that the Peace Corps volunteers had been affected by rising crime, but neither he nor U.S. officials have cited specific attacks as reasons for the withdrawal. A recent U.N. report said Honduras and El Salvador have the highest homicide rates in the world with 82.1 and 66 per 100,000 inhabitants, respectively, in 2010. Guatemala had a rate of 41 per 100,000 last year. All three are more than double the homicide rate of 18 per 100,000 in Mexico, where drug violence has drawn world attention." As the darkness is seeming to grow in this country, the fact is that the Lig...

In this first blog for 2012, I want to share a prophetic article that was published on the Elijah List Email on December 8, 2011. I feel that it really speaks to where WME is right now, especially in relationship to the Honduras Church Planting Movement project. In 2011, I felt strongly that we should call the theme for the year, The Year of Moving Forward. In fact, “Moving Forward” was the theme for our Missions conference at Oasis Christian Center in Paducah, KY last April. And it really was a year of moving forward, and indeed the work “Breakthrough” really applies, because in this year the breakthrough to a beginning Church Planting Movement happened. At the beginning of the year we had results of nearly160 Discovery Bible Studies, but now 12 months later there are 159 churches and another 85 ongoing DBS groups. A year ago we were impacting perhaps 2,500-3,000 people, but today the churches and DBS groups may be impacting around 6,500 people. It was a “Moving Forward” and “Breakthr...
