Making Disciples, Multiplying Churches.
It is our mission to make disciples of those that are willing to be taught, and to follow the will of Christ in their life. This mission is alive and happening all across Southern Africa. Disciple making movements have been exploding all over the world, and Southern Africa is no exception!
We our affiliated with various missionaries and organizations that are dedicated to the outreach in this area of the world. It is the goal to reach the people of Southern Africa and help them overcome challenges presented to them. The people there are struggling with poverty, aids, HIV, and many other challenges both cultural and spiritual. Strides are being made every day but it is through continued support of donation giving that the work continues to go forward.
God has been showing his hand working in the urban areas of several countries in Southern Africa. There are currently groups dedicated to reaching out to the lost in the cities much like the urban areas and cities of the United States.


We must continue the mission. It is our duty to continue to bring the gospel to those who have not heard it, their souls rest upon our shoulders. Although great things continue to happen each day, it is only through great struggle that they continue to do so. It was said that “Our strength is defined by our struggles”. If it is true then I would pray that our struggles be great so our strength may be enough to carry onward the mission that God has set before us.

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 Holy Spirit and Disciple Making Movements

Recently at the Disciple Making Movement leadership meeting in California, one of the main topics that we focused on was the Role of the Holy Spirit.  A key leader from West Africa led the discussion of this topic.  I remember being especially challenged by this study and by interactions with this leader.  He is a special friend who I have known since 2006, and his influence has touched me greatly.  In the last few weeks since the meeting, I have reflected, prayed, and begun to seek the influence of the Holy Spirit more than I had been doing in recent years.  Now I want to share some reflections on the role of the Holy Spirit in Disciple Making Movements (which may or may not reflect the discussions we had in California).  Regardless of where one stands theologically, it cannot be denied that those who focus attention on the Holy Spirit's activity have seen the launching of some of the largest "Movements" in the history of the Church.  Think of the Pentecostal/Charism

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
