AUSTRALIA!!

WOW! An amazing tour through Queensland area - great new friends Byron Graham, Ross Davies and Erroll Buckle.
This has been a time of gaining new traction... and it was spectacular! Hundreds of men attended events, and the process of CMN materials being used for discipling was launched with great, fresh traction.
Thank God for Al Furey introducing us to great new friends... we've booked events next Jully (2011) for the Gold Coast, northern Queensland and Fiji... (as well as the Germany, Ghana, VietNam, UK, Paris and other events already booked for 2011)




This photo is the men of Highway Church gathering around Pastor Byron Graham and praying for him... committing to being those who carry the sword with him - it was an amazing time...

Join us on a road trip and,
Let's make this happen!

Greater Chicago area

At Merrillville right now with Pastor Larry Raftery - awesome team here...discipling men and doing the stuff. Larry is commissioned man who traveled and was close to Dr. Cole - it's part of their DNA!
Joel Brooks is laying is out strong right now - saying it with power! "When Adam sinned, he established his own kingdom, and we must be born back into God's kingdom... in God's kingdom, we get his help - if we stay in our own kingdom we only have our own help"
"Sometimes God will offend your mind, to reveal your heart."

Keep it cranking!

Peruvian landslide – Paris rockin!

Dynamic events in Peru - with Pastor Arturo Ramos and the great team at Catedral de Fe... it was awesome.
We've influenced over 300 churches with this new friendship! Ps. Ramos and Robert Barriger are long time friends, and this was their FIRST EVER MEN'S CONFERENCE!
It was a huge success, over 400 men registered from across the nation, Ps. Ramos heads up an organization that has 300+ churches in Peru and over 50 in other nations. Robert Barriger's team has been helping them with Ed Cole curriculum for a few years, and this was the powerful result!
We are excited to see this pivotal nation growing in influence around the world, and parallel is the strength of the men's movement!

Paris - over a dozen churches were involved in a men's retreat this past weekend, amazing... Eddy Leo from Indonesia led the event, which was hosted by Ps Joseph and Ps. Asien... dynamic leaders in Europe - BUT THIS IS HUGE... PARIS is 8% Moslem and only 1% Christian - so, this was huge breakthrough!

Rusty Greer is headed to Caribbean for men's events, Daniel Kwaku is headed to Ghana for massive men's movement launch!
Just heard from Janno in Estonia, tremendous response to our events there - he says over 45 churches coming on board - he's got his hands full and he's pumped!

Praise God for His faithfulness, and for amazing friends/allies around the world!
Go for it!

This is a huge new day for many in the north Phoenix area... the blessing of God is all over this men's team!!

Then, back to Dallas, change clothes, BBQ steaks for the family (son Bryce is home after dynamic 4 months in Peru! Glad he's home!) Pack and off to Europe...



WOW - AMAZING EVENT IN LONDON!! Over 20 churches involved... key pastors like Mark Van Gundy and others... the lead Pastor was Brazilian church planter Jose Carlos, and his lead men Rene and Vinny... IT WAS CRANKED UP!! WE ARE SO EXCITED ... A NEW DAY HAS BEGUN IN THE UK!!

Now we're in Riga, leave in the morning for Estonia!

Europe is in a fight for its soul... the men are the key... it is a critical hour - and God has led us to the right leaders on every turn... I am not surprised, but my breathe is taken away at what God is doing... now is the hour to go full speed.

Crank it up where you are!! Let's light fires that will never dim!! This is the work of the Kingdom of Heaven!

(BTW - Just read amazing story from Steve T. on his work with men in secret Islamic cities and places...awesome - men of CMN are dangerous men!)

European Invasion has begun!

GERMANY, BUDAPEST, HELSINKI, PARIS ... We’ve rarely seen results in Europe like this in the history of CMN...it’s explosive! Amazing results, and headed back for more! We'll hit Europe hard four times this year, and next year we'll take teams...plan on going with me!

From Dr. Cole’s first CMN meetings in Europe with Rod Anderson and the team in 1982, our heart has longed to reach the men of Europe. And, while pockets of fire would flame up, we’ve not strategically gone after all of Europe in one powerful initiative UNTIL NOW! This is an ALL-OUT ASSAULT!

Europe has 755 million people – only 2% would say they are committed followers of Christ, but over 7% in Europe today are Muslim! The appeal of Islam to the young men is the perception of strong men – and the contrast of weak men in churches.

We are in a fight for the heart of Europe! We must start a strong, powerful, Godly men’s movement or the next generation is totally lost!

The Europe 2010 Campaign is our first strategic thrust – and it’s already producing huge results! We are headed back into former Communist countries May 19 – June 1 and we will need you to help us… this is a large fight, and expensive as Europe is, it’s very difficult.

We conducted strategic pastors and leaders meetings in Germany, Budapest and Helsinki and the results were overwhelming. Pastor Asien from Aachen, Germany proved a strong leader, with great influence – we are making great progress. Rv. Daniel Kwaku, our European Representative has been lighting fires across the region for a decade…and now the flames are growing!


We met with Pastor Joseph, Pastor Bong, and other leaders from Paris and confirmed that city as our new headquarters for CMN France! They are conducting a men’s conference this week with 14 churches involved! For France, that’s huge!

We taught hundreds of leaders in Hungary the principles of discipling men, key leaders in Germany committed to a higher level of engagement with the vision, and Helsinki pastors and leaders had an historic series of meetings. Brother Daniel Goncz, son of the former President of Hungary, heads up a powerful team of leaders and pastors who are ready to take the nation!

Please keep praying — we head back into Europe next month with key events in Estonia, Latvia, Germany and to the 120 Brazilian churches in London.

This is BREAKTHROUGH time for Europe men’s movement! We’re putting the pressure on — we’ll conduct Europe events every month this year!

We very gratefully thank you for praying for the Europe 2010 Campaign...our first thrust was hugely successful.

Thank you for praying, thank you for your friendship.
Grace and Peace,
Paul

p.s. Please join us! You are needed as a sponsor of the next Europe campaign outreach...go to the cmnworld.com website — click on donation — and immediately put funds into the fight — thanks, paul.

So much going on - it's wild - plans for Europe invasion are really cranking strong - we're believing a strong men's movement in Europe is what will keep young men from influence of Islam... strong men in following Christ!

Synergize Event – 1200 Pastors

Key CMN leaders along with over 1,200 leaders from around the world attended a great event in Orlando hosted by 'Second Billion' Ex. Dir. Joann Webster and President Dr. James Davis - Synergize 2. Second Billion is a major church planting movement bringing together leaders from every major denomination and church planting group. The mission is to plant 5 million churches around the world in the next 10 years... a huge dream - and a lot of work... and CMN is in the middle of it!

Our key CMN leaders met in a very strategic meeting following the first evening at the conference - Alex Mitala from Uganda, Eddy Leo from Jakarta gave reports... small groups met on three key expressions of the men's movement and initiatives we are working at presenting in the Lions Roar event November in Dallas... 1. Next Generation 2. Emerging Nations 3. Pastoral Coaching.

I'm trusting over the next few months these conversations and forums will lead us into a dynamically productive era. Tractionablel projects that have sustainable and measurable results. We can do this by the power of His presence.

photos include times backstage with international leaders, our CMN leaders praying together, Joann with Eddy and Rose Leo...other great friends... these are some very powerful people in the work of the Lord - I love just being around them, it stretches me... they are so after the heart of God - humble giants of faith.

Keep it going strong!
