This month of April is busy busy busy! But all in a good way. We just finished our 12th World Mission Conference at Oasis Christian Center in Paducah, KY. The speakers were myself and Joyce Lynn Kirubagaran of United Evangelical Mission International. The Lord was present by His Spirit, and missionaries, leaders, pastors, and believers were blessed. Thanks to Oasis Church for incredible hospitality. Now, for the next part of April. On April 17, I will fly to Tegucigalpa and be picked up by Randy Travis, and together we will travel to the Department of Olancho where on April 19, 20, and 21 we will be conducting a CPM training for people from 7 different denominations and fellowships. This is truly a breakthrough time, the kind for which we have been hoping and praying. Included in this training will be people from Baptist, Holiness, Calvinist and Arminian backgrounds as well as both Charismatic and Non-Charismatic churches. Pray that the doctrinal distinctives will be covered by a spiri...

I want to ask for special prayer in the Month of April for the Honduras CPM project. There will be a very important training trip in the latter part of the month. On April 17, I will fly to Tegucigalpa and be picked up by Randy Travis, and together we will travel to the Department of Olancho where on April 19, 20, and 21 we will be conducting a CPM training for people from 7 different denominations and fellowships. This is truly a breakthrough time, the kind for which we have been hoping and praying. Included in this training will be people from Baptist, Holiness, Calvinist and Arminian backgrounds as well as both Charismatic and Non-Charismatic churches. Pray that the doctrinal distinctives will be covered by a spirit of Unity and that obedience to the Word of God and discipling the whole nation of Honduras and beyond will become uppermost in the hearts of all. Pray that from all these groups workers will be raised up (Luke 10:2) to become disciple makers and church planters. I...

Acts 9: 5 And he (Paul) said, "Who are you, Lord?" And He (Jesus) said, "I am Jesus, Whom you are persecuting." And....the rest is History! The man we call the Apostle Paul was changed forever by an encounter with the Resurrected Jesus Christ....who he came to call Lord (God!) In Disciple Making movements worldwide, we look directly to Jesus and his commands in the New Testament as our guide. But we look also to the Apostle Paul as a key example in how this obedience is done in order to fulfill the Great Commission. In an upcoming book (that I am eagerly anticipating) Neil Cole is going to share the leadership example of Paul in terms of church multiplication movements. It is called "Journeys to Significance" and you can find out about it at his website: www.cmaresources.org The point I want to make here is that everything Paul did, the leaders he raised, the disciples he made, the churches he planted, came from what I might call his lifelong Jesus in...

Peter Drucker , the well known business and management expert, taught that every business should be able to express its "mission" very succinctly. This has become the widely practiced "mission statement" and I do agree that it is a very important thing. It is vital that any organization be able to tell its "mission" to its various constituents. This is especially true for organizations that are striving to gain partners toward accomplishing certain goals. WME has expressed its mission, vision, and goals elsewhere (check out our website: http://www.worldmissions.us/ and click on "about" at the top). But in the last day or so, I was toying with a statement that would be 1 sentence and yet fully express what WME is trying to do....indeed what WME feels mandated to do! Here it is. World Missions and Evangelism, Inc. exists to Help bring Closure to the Great Commission by Catalyzing Disciple Making Movements Worldwide. That sentence basically say...

Have we entered into the 4th Era of Modern Missions? Dr. Ralph Winter, the founder of the U. S. Center for World Missions and the originator of the Perspectives course, taught that there have been 3 Eras of Modern Missions. When I first took the course in 2005, the section on Missions History was the most intriguing to me because of my personal interest in History. In college, my minor was history and ever since I have been a history buff in many areas. I have spent years studying church history, revival history, and missions history, not to mention various areas of secular history. After taking Perspectives, it became my privilege to become a Perspectives teacher and I have taught the History of Modern Missions in Perspectives classes in a number of places these last few years. In fact, I will be teaching those lessons again in the Nashville, Tenn. area this weekend. This lesson centers around Dr. Winter's observation that in the last 2 centuries there have been 3 discernible ...
