My heart, energy, and support.

We cannot reach the world using the kind of mission strategies we already have! That’s why Project New Hope International in Trujillo, Peru has my heart, energy, and support.

PNHI is

* Training nationals to develop a reproducible, expandable, self-sustaining, disciple making, church planting movement.

* Training communities to solve their own problems by modeling community development rather than relief

* Planting and multiplying definable and reproducible house churches

* Constantly expanding to new territory

In four years we:

· Are working in 14 barrios

· Have stared over 80 house churches

· Have 1900 individuals in attendance every week.

· Participated in over 230 baptisms

· Have seen 4200 lives touched by programs/services of PNHI

· Have developed a six year strategy for moving to new barrios and cities

It is exciting to see how a new paradigm is working so effectively. John Hendee, our Executive Director, is having wonderful opportunities to share the PNHI story with other missions. We feel like we have just gotten started, just broken through.

Recently I have asked some church leaders the following questions.

  • · Have you re-envisioned and re-purposed your approach to missions?
  • · Are you involved in potential history-making ventures?
  • · Is your mission’s ministry looking for a vital partnership?
  • · Could we talk?

I feel so passionate about using our mission resources in creative ways that I can’t help but share everywhere I go about what God is doing in Trujillo.
