Dear Outreacher:   

PTL -- the Nationals all over our CDP-World are “Doing IT”!

             The Newsletter this month is different – basically a presentation of our CDP “Score Card” -- indeed, demonstrating the past and present progress and the future expectations in the power of His Grace might Key Nationals from all over the World have brought into step via our WEBSITE: me-intl.org and the volunteer, autonomous process which is at the heart of the Cassette Discipleship Program (CDP:

  *        The progression of Steering Committees in each Country Region, Demographic studies, and Scripts Translated (See, Lines 3 thru 6) are naturally followed as the Nationals all became more and more autonomously involved.

  *        With this chart displaying progress to date, it also projects the desired growth to complete future Outreach to all the Villagers of the Developing World (yes, over 3-Billion: Ignored, Forgotten and Lost Villagers to be reached

  *        Our best summary for the number of Village Evangelists (VEs) now trained and ready for equipment is right at 4,580 – with about 240 VEs currently in ministry with equipment. This of course means they need funding for the other 4,340 VEs at $200, each, for a total of $868,000 needed in 2006 AD.  This of course notes a significant planned growth of VEs from the 2005 AD period, where even NOW $290,000 is needed in 2005 AD.

 *        You will note that there are now 12 Outposts (240 VEs), operating primarily in India and Ghana, with all other countries coming up to speed fast – almost all CDP-Countries now have their Scripts Translated and a growing number also have the Master Recording done. These are all significant milestones they must complete before we can even think of helping them with equipment. There is a need (right now) for about $ 90,000 for Master Recording of 300 country languages

*        With 240 VEs now ministering, we see that “bottom line” about 2.4 million Villagers are even now being reached out to, discipled and placed in home church fellowships.

 *        Looking to the future, as we are able to provide the needed equipment and technical support, we see the CDP process literally growing exponentially (by about 3-to-1 new VEs per growth period) through their on-the-job training of three candidate VEs with each active VE for each growth period. See lines 8 and 9 on the chart for the PROJECTED expectations.

*        The Lord has brought the CDP activities to a remarkable place -- providing an opportunity via over 300 countries and regions participating -- to reach all the World’s villagers in developing countries.

*        Yes, the opportunity is true -- BUT, can only be realized by the nationals having the required equipment and technical assistance on a timely basis.

*        Realize that the nationals have and will continue to locate, train and place the required Village Evangelists (VEs) into ministry -- each VE reaching out to about 10,000 villagers with the Gospel of His good News. 

*        The process is set to multiply each growth period, which in Ghana was every 6-months). -- This being accomplished by coupling three new candidate VEs with each active VE, thereby achieving on-the-job training and multiplication of VEs.

*        At this time, as you review the Chart, we see that the nationals are ready, and already they are busy reaching out with the gospel to over 1.4 Million Villagers -- this combining activities in India and Africa at this time. Note that this outreach rapidly increases with the noted multiplication per growth period.

AND -------------- THE OUTREACH CONTINUES TO MULTIPLY – AS THE NATIONALS “DO It”
