Dear Partner, As Summer comes to an end, we have passed the halfway point in this year.  God is moving mightily!  This year in the first 6 months Almost 2,000 New Groups and Churches were planted with the INSTAR project in Central America! Our statistics are showing us that on average, about 34 people are coming to Christ and being water Baptized EACH DAY!  To God be the Glory! Our Full Time training team has been working with many people in Honduras, training and mentoring them to be obedient disciples and disciple makers!  And Disciple Making Movement Trainings and Mentoring have been carried our by our missionary team in Jamaica, Ecuador, North America, Mexico, and Malaysia (3 trainings there this year so far).  In addition we helped launch the Central and South American divisions of the 2414 Coalition in Panama in May! Looking forward to the remainder of this year we still have Training Events planned in North Mexico, the first Native American T...

In this series of articles on Prayer for missions we have covered a lot of Ground. 1.  We have seen that Prayer is a Critical Element in Missions.  Indeed, Prayer is the Mission Work and not just For the Mission Work. 2.  We have looked at the Lord's Prayer or the Model Prayer as a Template for our prayer lives and we have seen how this relates to missions. 3.  We have looked at 7 areas in which we must advance in order to complete the Great Commission. 4.  We have looked at how to pray for Missionaries and Great Commission Workers and we have seen the 7 areas where we must cover them in prayer. 5.  We have learned how to pray for Unreached People Groups, by focusing on Luke 10 and the 7 things we ask God to do in these groups. 6.  We have learned how to Focus on a specific Unreached People Group and Region in prayer. But as we finish this series of articles, I want to close with a principle that is so important to include in our prayer f...

The difference between the lightbulb that sheds diffused light so that you can see your surroundings, and a laser beam that will cut through metal is Focus.  There is certainly a use for both.  In fact the light bulb will be more necessary on a daily basis for most people.  But when you have to cut through resistant things, Focus becomes necessary. The same is true in prayer.  We are all called to pray.  In the Lord's Prayer Pattern that we covered early in this series, Jesus taught us a basic method of prayer that will work in our daily lives and the lives of our families.  But as we focus specifically on praying for missions, we become aware that there are places and people groups that are hidden from the gospel behind steel walls of demonic resistance.  There is a reason that 59 percent of all human beings TODAY live in Unreached People Groups!   That's right...59 percent, well over half of all living people  TODAY as I write this, live ...

WME is part of the 2414 Coalition, a network that is focused on seeing the Gospel reach all Unreached People Groups and Unreached Places with Disciple Making Movement and Church Planting Movement strategy by December 31, 2025.  One thing of which we are convinced is that it will take the miraculous power of God to see this take place.  But with the power of God and with the obedience of God's people, we believe this is a very realistic goal. But because it is God's work, our first priority is prayer.  So the question we ask in this blog is "How do we pray for Unreached People Groups and Unreached Places".  In the next blog, I will focus on how to select and focus on a particular group or region.  But for now, let's assume that you have a people group or region of the world on which you are focused.  Here is a way to pray for your Unreached People Group or Place. Look in your Bible at Luke 10.  This chapter is a key chapter for those who are using D...

Exodus 12:22-23   New International Version (NIV) 22  Take a bunch of hyssop,  dip it into the blood in the basin and put some of the blood  on the top and on both sides of the doorframe. None of you shall go out of the door of your house until morning.   23  When the  Lord  goes through the land to strike  down the Egyptians, he will see the blood  on the top and sides of the doorframe and will pass over  that doorway, and he will not permit the destroyer  to enter your houses and strike you down. In the passage of scripture just quoted, we see God's instructions to Moses at the time of the first Passover.  They were to slay a lamb for each family and put it on the doorposts of their house. The Angel of Judgement would Pass Over each house with the blood of the lamb on the door.  Thus there was salvation and protection by this blood.  There was also freedom by this blood.  After the judgement, Pha...

What is needed in order to see the finishing of the Great Commission in our lifetimes?  I believe that question should literally obsess every believer.  The fact that it does not, explains why in nearly 2000 years of church history, it has never been fulfilled in anyones lifetime, in any generation!  We must make the main thing the main thing! Yet we are living in a time unlike any other.  I was recently privileged to be in a meeting of missions leaders from several Key Organizations.  We were given an amazing briefing on the state of World Evangelization.  I am overwhelmed with 2 facts:  First, how much God is doing on the earth in our lifetime.....truly miraculous advance of the Gospel.  Second, how much is left to be done.....truly monumental amounts of ground to be taken. 2 things are clear to me:  1) This can be the Generation that sees Matthew 24:14 fulfilled.  2)  If it is to be, it will be a miraculous move of God, in r...

So as we look at How to Pray for Missions,  let's start by looking at the model prayer that Jesus gave to us.  Otherwise known as the Lord's prayer, we find it in 2 places in the New Testament:  Matthew 6:9-13 and Luke 11:2-4.  This is not just a prayer to be repeated, it is a model, an outline for prayer given to us by Jesus Himself.  He gave it on 2 occasions, once in a sermon (the one on the Mount), and once in answer to the request from his disciples who asked Him to teach them to pray.  So clearly, Jesus is telling us that this is key in the issue of How to pray. I see 5 Requests or Petitions in this prayer, and in my own prayer life, I use these as 5 headings in prayer. 1.  Our Father in Heaven, hallowed be Your name.      This is a place to start.  It is both a praise and a petition.  In it we are giving God glory for He is God and He alone is worthy.  But it is also a request.  We are praying that the Nam...

Before I drill down into the How of Praying for Missions, let me take just one short blog to deal with the Why.  Why should we pray for missions?  Why should you care?  Why should you read a series of blog articles on the subject in order to pray more and more effectively for missions?  Does it really matter? The answer to these questions is Yes it really matters!  And Why does it matter? Because Prayer is the Key! I was a pastor of a great church in Western Kentucky for several years before I began to work in full time missions.  One of the most blessed things I did, was lead in the dedication prayer for a new baby that a church family had been granted by the Lord.  We really emphasized kids and youth at our church.....from a full children's ministry, to a dynamic youth ministry, to a fully accredited Christian School for grades K-12.  Our church saw that bringing up children in the Lord's way was a primary responsibility for a local church...

With this article, I am beginning a new series of blogs focused on the question of How to Pray for Missions.  I believe that the first and most important key to the expansion of God's Kingdom and the fulfillment of the Great Commission is Prayer.  I also believe that God has called all His children to pray, but certain ones are especially called and gifted as Intercessors.  The purpose of these articles is to help give practical instruction to those who want to be more effective in Prayer for Missions and the completion of the Great Commission. Recently I was on a short vacation with my family in Florida.  My wife and I, along with my daughter and son-in-law, were staying at a condo near Pensacola.  It happened that during that same week, there was a key Missions strategy meeting in Panama, Central America.  I was part of the planning committee for this meeting in Panama, and circumstances had led to the fact that both our condo booking and the Panama mee...

God is moving in an amazing way in the INSTAR project.  INSTAR is focused on launching, facilitating and multiplying Disciple Making and Church Planting Movements throughout Latin America.  Our Goal is to reach all Unreached People Groups and Unreached Regions with the Gospel of Jesus Christ and to see Multi Generational Movements Multiply throughout the region.  As a part of the 2414 Coalition, we hope to see every people group and place engaged with the Gospel by December 31, 2025! The INSTAR Project began as a Dream in the Heart of WME Missionary Randy Travis in September 2006.  The WME Board of Directors Approved the project in January 2007 and in June 2007, Randy and Linda Travis and Keith and Juanita Travis moved to Honduras to develop a training base and cast the vision to Honduran leaders and believers.  A Team of 13 Honduran leaders was formed by May of 2008.  After being trained in DMM strategy they began to go to village areas in Honduras and f...
