A Great Report from Honduras: Reaching Unreached Peoples


Dear Brothers in Christ,
Please receive greetings from us and many blessings from our Lord Jesus Christ. I want to thank all that have dedicated your time to pray for us and make intercession for the Kingdom of God. God will be faithful to recompense. In the last few days the Lord has given us some very good contacts. We believe that it is because of your prayers. In April we had a small training event with one of our Bible study groups in Tocoa. The leader of this group is called Ramón.

After this training event Ramon invited me to go on a trip with him to some villages in the department of Yoro. Ramon was already familiar with the area and especially with one of the eight ethnic groups in the country of Honduras. On this trip God gave us favor and we were able to start three new Discovery Bible study groups. One of the groups was started with the Tolupan Indian tribe and we believe that with your prayers God will use this group as a key for us to open up a door to the 32 communities of the Tolupan Indian tribes. While we were there God gave us the opportunity to talk with one of the tribal members and he began to tell us that there were 32 other communities of the same tribe and that in most of them there was not a single house of worship because they wanted to conserved the Indian traditions of their ancestors. Not even the Catholic Church has been able to enter this area. This group has five members of the Tolupan Indian tribes or Xicaques in the village of Siriano, Yoro. 
Since we returned from this trip we have been in the process of organizing a training in the mountainous region of the Mesquite jungles of Honduras. There are five Indian tribes in these jungles. We ask you to please pray that God will give us favor in this area. The training event that we will be holding is scheduled for October.
We want to thank you for your prayers and for all you do for the growth of the kingdom of God here on earth.
Greetings from my family,

  Mario Mejia 


Please join in prayer for these new open doors.  Lift Mario and all of the WME team members up in prayer as they faithfully go forward with God's word and training to make disciples of all peoples in Latin America.

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
