El Salvador: Through The Open Door

I just returned from El Salvador where WME conducted its first Church Planting Movement training event.  This training is a direct result of the work in next door Honduras where Beto's groups and churches have been multiplying so greatly.  The training was very near San Salvador and although it was one of our smaller trainings (about 15 people took the training) it represented leaders from 6 different denominations.  I must say that in terms of questions and discussions and a sense that these leaders were really grappling with the issues, it was one of the best trainings I have personally seen.

  The first day of the training these leaders were hearing the beginning of the details of how CPM works and you could see that these were thinkers who were seriously analyzing what the team was saying.  On the second day in the first session we sensed that "something happened"!  There was a breakthrough as faces began to light up and the comments showed that there was understanding and receptivity.  The 3rd and 4th days of the training were great and at the end of the training there was an almost celebration atmosphere in the place. 

Each leader and denomination were equipped with megavoices, the DBS study material, and all the conference notes and resources. 

So, the first seeds for new cpms have been sown in El Salvador.  Pray that the Holy Spirit and the Word of God will find obedient soil in the hearts of those trained and that they will immediately begin to implement what they have learned.  Pray that there will be multiplication of disciples, groups and churches and then movements that will fill El Salvador with the gospel of Jesus Christ.
