2012: A Year of God's Blessings

We are coming to the end of 2012....the year some thought would bring the end of the world.  Instead it has been a year of God's blessings for WME and the work of the Lord on the mission fields of the WME missionaries.  Here are some of the things that God has done through the missionaries and national partners of WME and through the faithful prayers of the 300 group and the faithful giving of all WME's partners and supporters. 1.  3 powerful and important training events for church planters in Honduras!  Over 150 potential church planters trained. 2.  New partnership with a Bible School in Honduras, training pastors and leaders for many of the new churches planted. 3.  At least 58 new churches planted in Honduras this year, perhaps a few more!  There is clearly a church planting movement happening there at this time!

The training was conducted by Randy and Keith Travis, our strategy coordinators for the

The Honduras Church Planting Movement Project: 2006-2012

In 2008, when I started this blog, I wrote a timeline of the launch of the project.  In November 2011, I expanded that report greatly to bring the story of the HCPM work up to date.  Now I am reproducing that blog here and have edited it to bring it forward to the present and also to edit it based on new information. Breakthrough is happening, but here is a story of the road to breakthrough and the path of multiplication since breakthrough. God is doing a wonderful work, and any progress is only to His glory and power. We have done a lot of trial and error in the last few years, but the Lord of the harvest has been working His plan all along, through, with and sometimes in spite of us! Here is a timeline of what has been done in this project. September 2006: David Parish and Randy Travis take intensive training in C.P.M. principles from David Watson in Dallas. The H.C.P.M. concept is born. October 2006: Randy does research on C.P.M. principles. November-December 2006:
