Merry Christmas and Happy New Year from WME

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year from all of us at World Missions and Evangelism.

2013 has been a great year for World Missions and Evangelism, and we have much for which to give thanks to God.  We called this year The Year of Simple Obedience, New Fields, and Open Doors in our first blog of the year on January 2, and it really has been that.  

New Missionaries have affiliated with WME, Missionaries have been deployed to new fields, Many people have been trained as indigenous church planters and disciple makers, At least 196 locations in at least 4 nations have seen the birthing of new Discovery Bible Studies this year....and 96 of those are already at local church status, 462 groups and churches in 6 nations discipling close to 5,000 people is the total current impact of the CPM/DMM projects, Many have received Jesus as Lord and been baptized, and a Disciple Making Movement is moving forward in Latin America.  We think more people have been trained in the church planting movement strategy  from last December to now, than in the previous 5 years of the project....COMBINED!

Your prayers and financial support have been critical for this work.  If you have not joined the prayer team, please go to our website at www.worldmissionsevangelism.com and leave us a message, or you can send me an email at dparish9@cs.com.

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...
