We are living in the most exciting times in the history of the Church. The first 30 or so years of the Church are detailed in the Book of Acts. The story from Pentecost to Paul’s arrival in Rome is told in 28 brief chapters and spans from 30 A.D. to about 60 A.D. The book tells the story and also demonstrates the pattern of what the church is designed to be and do.

The kingdom of God has been expanding exponentially and we are just beginning to see the impact of this on our world.   Here are some highlights from the last 20 years of Kingdom expansion.

Make no mistake, we want the new churches to grow as well.  We are delighted to see that churches ...

It is a great joy to get good reports from around the world as we see God's work advancing.  Here are some excerpts and highlights from the 3 regions where WME missionaries are working toward Church Planting Movements and Disciple Making Movements: 1.  Indonesia Region:  Troy and Tracy Allen are in the Indonesia Region and are making a great adjustment to the new culture.  Their deployment is the fruition of many years of prayer and work and as they have been getting settled we are excited to see what God is doing through them in this new region of work.  They are making connections and laying groundwork for future Disciple Making Movements! 2.  Botswana, Africa:  WME missionaries, Michael and Heather Walker are training and empowering people to begin new DBS groups and make disciples using Discovery Bible Studies and the Megavoice players.  Michael recently had an injury to his triceps and is recovering from surgery.  The weekend before ...
