Training Events in Honduras A Great Success

I have just returned from our very large Training Event near Tegucigalpa, Honduras.  It was a great time and we are very exited about this great event.

 Our team conducted 2 different training events.  First we had a Level 2 Training event that was attended by over 40 people.  These have already been trained in the basics of church planting movements and have begun to implement the practices.  This training was for the purpose of encouraging these leaders and helping with issues that are being met in the field.  We had numerous comments that this was a very helpful event.

Following this training, the team conducted the Level 1 training.  About half of the Level 2 trainees remained for the Level 1 training.  About 100 people took the Level 1 training, which is designed to cover the basics of CPM and disciple making movements.  This training included a spiritual focus with Anthony Fouts bringing messages of commitment and anointing.  The training was inspirational, informational, and practical.  Every participant left with a Megavoice machine, the inductive studies in written form, and all the training materials.

The training team included: Randy Travis, Linda Travis, Keith Travis, Anthony Fouts,and David Parish, from the United States, and the Honduran team of Adiel Ponce, Daniel Ortega, Jacobo Hernandez, Oscar Hernandez, Carlos Andrade, Mario Mejia, Tesla Mejia, and Rigoberto Colindres.

The trainings included leaders from 17 different denominations.  Trainees were from 11 different departments (states) of Honduras.  This training has the potential to touch a vast area of the nation of Honduras.

We are expecting great things from this training event.  In the months ahead we will be hearing reports from the trainees as they make disciples and plant churches.

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...
