World Missions & Evangelism, Inc.

It is hard to believe that the summer is almost over and we are coming closer to fall.  But although the year is getting ready to enter its last quarter, the work at World Missions and Evangelism is actually ramping up!   We hope all the readers of our Newsletter and Blog will pray and participate in as many of the upcoming events as possible! ARGENTINA 2015 Our biggest training event of the year is planned to launch very soon.  A large team from the United States and Honduras will be traveling to Cordoba, Argentina on September 14.  Many leaders from various Latin American nations will be gathering to be trained in the strategy and implementation of disciple making movements.  We are expecting people from 6 or 7 nations to be there including the training team.  Our Honduran team has already traveled to Guatemala, Nicaragua, and El Salvador to train leaders, and this will be the furthest trip that they have made to plant the seed for multiplying church ...

We have just received the 2nd quarter reports from our INSTAR project in Latin America.  Currently there are discovery groups, house churches, developed churches and other groups that have resulted from this project in Honduras, Guatemala, Nicaragua, Colombia, and Argentina, that we are reporting in this 2nd quarter.  Groups from at least 46 denominations or networks are involved in these groups.  The majority of the groups are in Honduras, where the project launched in the field in 2008. But now we can see that God has birthed a Disciple Making Movement that is touching thousands of lives!  We are thankful for the amazing things that are happening. This year our team had a goal to reach 2,000 groups by the end of the year....by God's grace this has almost happened by the end of the 2nd Quarter!  So here are the current official statistics of this movement at the end of the 2nd Quarter, 2015. Total number of Groups:  1,978 Total number of Discovery Gro...

It is hard for me to believe that it has only been 7 years since Randy and Linda Travis, along with Keith and Juanita Travis started training Honduran leaders in the Disciple Making Movement (DMM) strategy in Santa Rosa, Copan in Honduras.  The 2 Travis families, both missionaries with WME, had embraced the vision of what we at that time called the Church Planting Movement (CPM) strategy. Randy and Keith had moved to Honduras to serve as the Strategy Coordinators for this project in June of 2007.  After months of preparing a base for training, developing a training curriculum, preparing for access ministry, and sharing the vision with Honduran leaders, the first team assembled on May 1, 2008 to begin an intensive 2 month training experience.  Counting men, women and children there were close to 20 Hondurans at the Santa Rosa base in May 2008.   That small group was trained and then began to go to villages without the gospel and search for the People of Peace that ...

  INSTAR   :  Coordinators Randy and Linda Travis: Randy and Linda Travis have been missionaries in Latin America since 1982. During their first 6 years in Honduras they pioneered a church in the department of Olancho. From this church, came a network of churches. By 2006 there were about 25 churches in Honduras as a part of this network. In addition, Randy pioneered the gospel with the Pech Indian tribe. The Travis family became affiliated with W.M.E. in 1988 and were W.M.E.'s first missionaries. Soon afterward they relocated to Chiapas, Mexico and spent a number of years in evangelism and ministry in the indigenous church there. Also during their ministry, Randy taught missions at the Omega Missions Training Center in Alabama. In 2006, Randy met David Watson and had the vision to see a new church planting movement emerge in Honduras. Randy and Linda along with their son and daughter-in-law, Keith and Juanita, moved back to Honduras in 2007 ...

INSTAR is the name that WME has for all of its projects in Latin America.  The overall goal is to make disciples that make disciples, and to do Kingdom of God ministry that will impact lives and bring transformation to lives and regions.  Here are some of the missionaries and projects that are bringing Transformation in Latin America!

The end of 2014 is now history! We NOW have a NEW year to work and to live for the Lord. The year 2014 has been a great and exciting year of expansion in the Kingdom of God! In our October 2014 newsletter we wrote: “We are believing and working hard to finish the year with 1000 DBS’s and churches. Only God knows... but we MAKE detailed SPECIFIC plans and then we WORK the plan. God gives the INCREASE as it pleases Him. Who knows what God may do? He may surpass anything we are planning! We just reach out in FAITH and WORK hard TRUSTING Him. TO GOD BE THE HONOR AND GLORY! By the end of December we will know what God has done.” Well..... the end of December has passed. So, what happened? Are you ready for this? Well instead of 1000 DBS’s and churches we ended the year with 1244 DBS’s and churches. Many.. many of these DBS’s are churches!
