Busy Summer

Exciting things continue to happen with the ministry of World Missions and Evangelism.  We are entering into the time of "Busy Summer".  Each summer time (May-August) for the last few years have been times of key travels and meetings in helping the Latin American Disciple Making Movement and other aspects of WME ministry to move forward.  This summer has already started out the same, and promises to be a time of many contacts, meetings, and trainings.  Please pray for us as we travel and make connections this season.  Pray that through all we do and all we meet and all we learn, that the Kingdom of God will advance around the world.

Revival Sparks Missions

Last year I wrote a blog on "Revival and Missions".  In it I discussed the relationship between the 2 and discussed the need that we have for both.  In this post, I want to share some ideas about how Revival of the Church leads to new thrusts in Missions and how that is really the purpose of Revival in the first place.  Most books and teachings on Revival discuss the spiritual nature of Revival and focus on the purpose of God in Reviving His Church.  But as I have been reflecting on the History of Missions and Revivals in the last 200-300 years, I have seen a connection that I had overlooked to some degree.  The thing that has brought this to the forefront of my thinking has been reading a new book called "The Power To Save" by Bob Davey, published by EP Books.  This book which was published in 2011, is a History of the Gospel in China.  I highly recommend it. It is one of the best missions history books I have encountered and it traces the entire Christian move
