Latin American Church Planting/Disciple Making Movement: A Timeline

In 2008, when I started this blog, I wrote a timeline of the launch of the project.  In November 2011, I expanded that report greatly to bring the story of the HCPM work up to date.  Now I am reproducing that blog here and have edited it to bring it forward to the present and also to edit it based on new information. Breakthrough is happening, but here is a story of the road to breakthrough and the path of multiplication since breakthrough. God is doing a wonderful work, and any progress is only to His glory and power. We have done a lot of trial and error in the last few years, but the Lord of the harvest has been working His plan all along, through, with and sometimes in spite of us! Here is a timeline of what has been done in this project. September 2006: David Parish and Randy Travis take intensive training in C.P.M. principles from David Watson in Dallas. The H.C.P.M. concept is born. October 2006: Randy does research on C.P.M. principles. November-December 2006...

How do you define SUCCESS?

I have written in the past that I believe  we are now in the early stages of the 4th Era of Modern Missions.   Missiologist Ralph Winter has analyzed Missions History since the 1700s and divided the time into 3 Eras:  The Era of the Coastlands 1792-1910, The Era of Inland Missions 1865-1980, The Era of People Groups 1934-the future.  In 2010 Missiologist Tom Steffen wrote a book called "The Facilitator Era" in which he proposed that around the year 2000, a new Era had begun.  This Facilitator Era has specific characteristics that I have talked about in a previous blog from May 20 of this year.  It is not my purpose to rehash that here, but I do recommend that you read that specific blog. However, in this article I want to shift to a practical mode and ask the question:  In this new Era, how is Success measured?  If a leader or a church or a missions agency decides to take up a "Facilitator" role toward completing the great commission, what is ...

14th Annual Missions Conference was a Great Success!

The 14th Annual WME Missions Conference took place September 13-15 and was a great success.  Missionaries gathered from several nations and reports were given that give us much to praise God for, as well as continue to pray for.  Pastors, leaders, and missionaries were blessed by the ministry of Nahum Hernandez and Anthony Fouts.  The Presence of the Lord was felt powerfully in the services and there have been testimonies of lives greatly impacted. We want to thank all those who attended the conference for coming.  We want to give a special thanks to all the workers and volunteers from Oasis Christian Center for making the stay of everyone so wonderful.  A special thanks to those who cooked and worked in the kitchen and dining room to serve so well on Friday and Saturday and Sunday.  We were all well fed, both physically and spiritually.  Thanks to Pastor Larry Starnes for his love and friendship and the gracious hospitality shown to all.  Thank...
