Buenos Aires

Photo of leading Buenos Aires Pastor Rodolfo Pronesti with Ps. Robert Barriger and Bishop Dale Bronner - Great results from the first set of meetings in B.A... now to another set of meetings with Pastor Adrian Juniors... over 100 pastors, political leaders and military leaders in special private event this evening...then, great meeting at the church...tremendous response to the word - services over at 11p, then they took us out to eat! Back to hotel after 2am - and cafes in area still full of people - never seen place stay up as late...
Bishop Bronner and Ps. Barriger are laying down strong fundamental teaching that is bringing great results - FACING BIG CHALLENGE! We must get books and materials through all of Latin America - if we had enough funds to get them out, we would have thousands of men in curriculum in Argentina - Pastor Adrian is working on publishing here in Buenos Aires - pray that he is able to get that done! grace/peace - paul.

Argentina

Over 300 pastors gathered in Buenos Aires... Pastor Robert Barriger from Lima, heads up CMN in South America - Bishop Dale Bronner, Chairman of CMN and myself in conference led by key local pastor Rv. Rodolfo Pronesa... great results and feedback...local services are long in Argentina, and dinner is afterwards - means start first segment of service at 5p, then mucho music, another service segment at 8p, dinner at 10:30p and back to hotel around 1am...but, Robert Barriger reports over 15 new churches will be starting curriculum... Barriger and Bronner hit it strong and the powerful word really hit home with the leaders and pastors... we meet Monday with representatives from other parts of Argentina, and start another conference on Tuesday... awesome! 3am here now...hopefully some photos tomorrow... grace-paul.

Montecito

Just finishing Ecuador tour, car ride over the Andes-3 hours from 12,600 feet to the ocean! Mountain road, cliffs, landslides, passed car that had gone over edge, wreckers trying to recover it with long cables, in ravine 1/4 mile down -
*They have published many CMN books here, tremendous quality, shipping to Spain, Venezuela, Colombia and El Salvador - Jimmy Cornejo and team are taking the word for men to their nation and others! This was a great time of strategizing, empowering men of influence to take it and run with it - it is theirs... they are used to most American ministries wanting to keep tight control...we want the word out to men - relationships...so, they are ready to run! Commissioning key men across the nation!
**Met key pastor from Salinas, he is leading men through curriculum - wanting to take his city!
*Ended up in little hippie throwback surf village on coast of Ecuador - Montecito - very funky - we are after this generation! It is in little enclaves like this that we will reach the young men who will influence the nations... Javier, Jimmy's son is 27 - has law degree, sharp young man, he is publishing the books...getting them into the secular bookstores where they are selling well - great vision to reach culture from the top down and from the bottom up...he is tremendous asset for his father and for us in the goal to reach ten million men, he's got it in his heart!
*ON way to Argentina, stopping in Dallas - house is up for sale - fully committed to the vision!

Friday Night - Cuenca

Spectacular night...just back to the hotel - commissioned 18 men in Jimmy Cornejo's church in Cuenca...one of the most infuential pastors in the nation, he is sending his top men to 10 different regions over next year to kick off the CMN men's movement in big way. They have been doing the Majoring in Men system for 4 years...now have over 200 men involved - He said the men's movement and marriage ministry has dramatically increased the size of his church...this is true of every church that really goes after men! I'll post photos as soon as they email them to me...other pastors were involved, key men in the nation...it's happening!
**travel notes - 1. I'm in an environmentally adapting hotel room, that means whatever temperature it is outside, the room is the same-inotherwords, no air, no heat - and it's cold outside. 2. Book all your own flights...got in to Ecuador, settled in bed after midnight last night, then had to get up at 5am to catch 7:30 flight to Cuenca, would have arrived at 8:30a, and the plan was to take me to hotel to rest, which I needed because I got no sleep, then flight was delayed 2 hours...travel is not easy, but seems to be only way to get anywhere...and, I love the friends here in cuenca! pc

Ecuador! First stop - MoMENtum Tour!

**Heading out this week to Cuenca, Ecuador and Guayaquil. Commissioning men and working with pastors...these are first stops on the tour. Will post a report... Argentina, Juarez and London are on the horizon next few weeks...stay in prayer for us. John Arana headed to Central America next month, others on the move...taking the cities!
**Held strategy meetings with Suliasi Kurulo, mega-church planter from Fiji, fine tuning the strategies for third world nations...agreed that internet materials are very important, but every area also needs a team to visit, personally impact leaders with men's movement...personal contact and internet delivery...powerful strategic solution.

LionsRoar - Beyond GREAT!

Just finished the "Lions Roar" event in Dallas...men representing 120 nations were there...awesome time of word, anointing, strategy, prayer and fellowship! Great to see old friends and make new friends...emails, texts, calls from people we havent talked to in years are coming in after they have heard the reports...very cool. Pressure now to hold another next year, though probably will do regional summits next year and go with another Lions Roar March of '09 - that's only 16 months from now, and guys coming from overseas will have time to put trip together...
it was an amazing time - lots of work to do - this blog is part of that...
keep checking in - headed to Ecuador next week to start the Global MoMENtum Tour! check www.momentumtour.com for updates starting end of October!
talk soon. plc.
