City of Children: A World Missions and Evangelism Project

In this blog we are going to feature one of WME's many missions projects around the world.  The City of Children Project in Villa Nueva, Guatemala.

“The City of Children” in Villa Nueva, Guatemala, about 30-45 minutes from Guatemala City. It is an orphanage of about 250 children ages 0-18 with backgrounds from everything imaginable. The one thing each of these kids have in common is they LOVE to be loved.
Michelle Garland began  work with this orphanage several years ago and has recently partnered with World Missions & Evangelism.
She takes regular trips to Guatemala to help the orphanage. You can sponsor a child or partner with us to take a short term trip to Guatemala.

Take A Trip

Michelle took a group to Guatemala three times during 2012. For more information on upcoming trips for 2013, please contact W.M.E. at (270) 527-9445.

Sponsor A Child

Lilian takes care of her daughter in the orphanage. Little Angie has a skin rash right now that really needs some attention. Please pray that it is taken care of and consider sponsoring this small family and help meet their needs.
Fall Break trip 2012 update – Lillian and Angie still live in the City of Children and still need a sponsor. Angie’s rash is completely better. She is a beautiful little girl.

Fall Break trip 2012 Update – His name is Mariano and he is 2 years old. He has a sister that is 5 named Rosaura that also lives at the City of Children.


Kimberly age 2 is at the orphanage with her mother. Her mother’s name is Heidy, who is only 14 and is raising a 2 year old.
Fall Break trip 2012 update – Heidy and Kimberly still live in the City of Children and still need a sponsor. Please consider sponsoring her individually or together.
This is Marito.
Fall Break trip 2012 update – Marito will be 2 soon. He is a lot of fun and a lot to keep up with. He LOVES to ride in the bus… and especially honk the horn and push the buttons. He also LOVES cars and trucks to plays with and gives all of them “motor” sounds.
There are many other children and teens that need to be sponsored. Check out

7 Stages of a Disciple Making Movement

In this blog post, I want to introduce the reader to the 7 stages of a developing disciple making movement. Then in my next teaching post on this blog, I want to specifically focus on 1 of the stages that seems to be challenging to many practitioners of the dmm/cpm strategy.   These 7 stages are broad categories that encapsulate several of the Critical Elements of disciple making movements. If you check out several of my older posts from several years ago (especially from the first year of the blog 2008) you will find several blogposts that describe what we call Critical Elements.  (This series of blogposts from 2008 are entitled  "The Critical Elements","Critical Elements of a Church Planting Movement", "Passionate Extraordinary Prayer", "Authority of Scripture and Obedience", "Rain and the Holy Spirit", "Miracles", "The 1:8 Factor", "The Strategic Critical Elements", and finally "The Discipleship E...

The Fourth Era Of Modern Missions by David Parish

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. I would contend that the last 20 years of Christian History have begun to match the excitement of those initial years. 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. In 1989, a missionary begins to focus on an almost totally unreached Megabloc of peoples in North India. In initial outreach, 6 native evangelists are brutally murdered. From the ashes of this first attempt, the missionary begins to focus on a disciple making strategy, linked to Obedience based discipleship. B...

Non-Cessationist Sola Scriptura: The Theology of CPM

I believe in a theological position that I call Non-Cessationist Sola Scriptura. Sola Scriptura refers to the Reformation doctrine that means "Scripture Alone" and that asserts that the Bible alone, the 66 books of the Old and New Testaments, are the only inspired Word of God and that they are the sole authority for God's people, flawlessly communicating God's will to mankind. The "Sola" or "Only" part asserts that nothing else does this or has this authority....Not Tradition, Magisterium, Hierarchy, Leaders, or Experiences from whatever source....ONLY SCRIPTURE! Non-Cessationist refers to the concept that God still is active in the world and in the lives of people today in overtly supernatural ways. It says that no activity of God, described in the Bible, has ceased just because that the Bible is now complete. It asserts that all of the gifts, operations, and manifestations of the Holy Spirit described in the Bible may continue to happen to the en...
