2nd Generation

One of our main goals here is to equip nationals to plant churches that plant churches, so that we can have an out of our control/in God's control CPM. We have taken 14 and have been training them to be master trainer/church planters. One of the 14 has taken this to heart. I wrote not too long ago that he was skeptical about our method at first, of finding the man of peace in the village (from Luke 10:1-11). He went out on his own and used the Luke 10 method to see if it would work. To his amazement, God showed him 7 new villages with persons of peace. Since then, he has been on fire to continue and progress with these churches and get them to a healthy state so that they too can send out leaders to new places and find men of peace. He has also taken our training and taught 10 of his own existing church planters the methods we are teaching from the Bible. He challenged all of them to go to new villages that God leads them to and find men of peace. One has found 4 new places with 4 men of peace, all of them have accepted Christ and are now beginning to meet for church in their house. So, with just over 7 months of intensive training with our CP's, one has taken the challenge and ran with it. Even though, so far, only one out of 14 is really taking off, one is all that God needs to work with to bring glory to Himself and increase His kingdom on earth. Now the task is, as I said, to get these places to be healthy, solid churches that can one day send out leaders to new villages to build the kingdom. It is exciting what God is doing in this place.
