Amazing Multiplication and New Doors to Train Leaders

Dear Friends

2017 is a year when God is blessing the work of World Missions and Evangelism.  Actually that is not it.  It is God's work.  God is multiplying His Kingdom on the earth and WME is privileged to join Him in what He is doing......God is Blessing the Work of His Kingdom.  We are so grateful that He would allow us to be a part of it!  And you are a part of it as well, with your prayer and financial support.

Here is a quick report of what is happening:

The INSTAR project is the project that is facilitating the multiplication of disciples, groups and churches in Greater Latin America.  This project was conceived in 2006 and launched in 2008.  In the first quarter of this year on average, 17.6 people were becoming believers and 17.5 people were being baptized in water in this project EACH DAY!  Over 500 groups and churches were birthed between January 1 and March 31!  The movement is now 15 generations deep!

Today we count 5,485 groups and churches as having been planted through the work of INSTAR!
Glory to the Lord of the Harvest!

The SEASTAR project is the Disciple Making Movement project that is focused on South East Asia.  Training has begun in a Muslim country that has never had DMM training before.  We are excited as the WME missionaries there are cultivating relationships and beginning training with leaders that will be focusing on several Unreached and even Unengaged People Groups.

Back to INSTAR for a moment.  Please Pray for several open doors to train new leaders that have opened recently.  The Honduran team has been conducting several small trainings this year.  In June and July WME Missionaries and team members will be conducting trainings or traveling to mentor leaders and new believers in Barbados,Guatemala, Ecuador, and a full time team preparing to deploy to Colombia.

It is an exciting time of both Sowing and Reaping!  We sow the gospel by training disciples to make disciples.  We reap the Harvest as those disciples do the work of Christ and new believers are born into the Kingdom of God.

Please continue to join in Partnership together with WME by Prayer and Giving.  We are living in the days of the fulfillment of the word of Jesus: This Gospel of the Kingdom will be preached in all the world as a witness to all Peoples, and then the end will come!

Blessings!

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
