Sustainable Disciple Making Movements Part 2: Launching

 In our previous blog about Sustainable Movements, I shared the Big Picture of the concept: 3 Stages or Areas of Focus for Sustainable DMMs 1. Launching a Movement:  Foundation 2. Multiplying a Movement: Momentum 3. Sustaining a Movement: Structure So today I want to focus on the first area: Launching One of the best training organizations in the DMM strategy that I know is Contagious Disciple Making or CDM led by my friend and one of my mentors in DMM, Paul Watson.  Their training is done in an online and coaching format and I encourage any of my readers to download the CDM App and listen to their podcasts and if you have a real desire to understand DMM, become a part of their training program.  I love their approach to training people in the strategy and tactics of Disciple Making Movements for 2 reasons: 1.  It is a comprehensive approach.  They give the big picture of DMM and help people who are going to be strategic leaders of movements to understand t...

The Numbers that Matter

Dear Friend and Partner of WME and the INSTAR Project, Thanks for all you do in continuing to give and pray for the INSTAR Disciple Making Movement project in Latin America and Beyond.  WME has Missionaries and Teams that are focused on seeing Disciple Making Movements happen in Central America, South America, the Caribbean, Africa, and in the United States among Native Americans, Muslim Peoples, and the general population. By God's abundant Grace, we have seen an amazing Harvest over the last several years.  Beginning in 2008 with a small team of just 13 Honduran leaders and 2 Missionary families, a movement has been birthed that has touched approximately 100,000 people in many nations.  We believe over 70,000 people have come to faith in Christ and been Baptized and thousands of churches have been planted.  Nearly 4,000 Discovery Groups and Churches were planted Last Year Alone!  At the deepest point, the movement is 34 Generations deep (Groups and churches th...

Sustainable Disciple Making Movements Part One

 It's been quite a while since I wrote a blog article about the Disciple Making Movement Strategy.  In the beginning of our work in Honduras and Latin America, I regularly wrote blogs about the Movement strategy and principles that the team in Honduras was applying. (If you go back to the years 2008 through about 2012 in the archive of this blog, you will find a lot of that).  More recently, I have used this blog to share about the advance of the movement in Central America and South America that has resulted from this strategy.  I have also been highlighting the new DMM teams that we have formed at WME that are focusing on the Caribbean, Native American Tribes, and other regions as we are turning our attention to bringing the Disciple Making Movement strategy to bear on the remaining Unreached and Unengaged People groups in the world, especially in the Western Hemisphere. At this point, WME has 6 or 7 discernible teams that are focused on finishing the Great Commiss...
