Hello Friends,

We had a great trip to Guyana.  We were able to work with a church that was started last year.  Several people were added to the Kingdom and The church. 

This area is what is known as the Savannahs.  Houses are very far apart.  It seemed that we walked miles just to reach a family to tell them about Jesus.  The people are very open to the Gospel.    Pray for us as we determine out future in Guyana.  There seems to be no effort to plant churches here.  This is a country that has only about 30 Baptist churches.  There is a great need for new churches in order to reach this part of the world for Christ.  

Thank you for all of your prayers.  The success of this trip was because of your prayers.  God bless you.   In 2009 I am looking to go to Brazil in February, Rwanda in March and Brazil in June.  Let me know if you are interested in going on one of these.  We have added two more partners leading trips into the harvest.  We can help you find a place to plant churches.  We are hoping at WWCP to expand our ministry into many new areas of the world.  Maybe you can come along beside us and help make a difference for the Kingdom of God.  I will look forward to hearing from you.    Please continue to keep this ministry in your prayers.  

In His Harvest,  

Mark Davis

 

  HOW THE MINISTRY WORKS

World-Wide Church Planters connects with a missionary or a national leader who has a heart to start new churches. After the project plans are set, a church planter trainer goes to the area where the new churches will be started. This trainer must have started or have been involved closely with the starting of at least one new church.The trainer could be a missionary, pastor, or layman. In a very intensive 4-6 day school, he teaches three subjects: personal evangelism, spiritual formation, and church planting.

During the training, the teacher takes the potential church planters out to do direct, personal evangelism.  Taking the church planters on the streets to do evangelism helps them to overcome the fear barrier associated with witnessing.  They learn to share Christ by doing it.  The trainer acts as both a teacher and a mentor to the church planters, sharing from his years of experience in church planting and walking with Christ.

 

Immediately following the training, a project leader brings in a team of personal soul-winners from churches in the States.  These people have committed themselves to a week of intense evangelism.  They join the individual church planters in the neighborhoods where their churches will be started.  The evangelism teams witness house-to-house, in markets, and at times in the streets.  Normally, there are scores or hundreds of professions of faith as a result of the evangelism. 

Those who come to Christ during the week of evangelism become the core group for the new churches.  When the WWCP  evangelism team leaves, the national leaders and missionaries oversee the new church starts.

  MISSIONARY TESTIMONIAL

“From among the 2,000 volunteers that have worked among the Quichua Indians in Ecuador in the past 3 years, the church planter trainers and volunteer evangelists from World-Wide Church Planters have led the pack in their evangelistic zeal and practical training.  They come well prepared spiritually and practically, and ready to tackle the task of opening new works in a variety of settings.  They have my support and an open door anytime they can come to work with the Quichua in Ecuador.” [David Butts, IMB-SBC Missionary Strategy Coordinator for Ecuador Quichua National Strategy Group]
