AWESOME - Tallinn, Estonia/Klaiberg, Lithuania
Two great days in Baltic nations! Lighting huge fires that will not go out!!
Friend and Pastor Janno Pensalu organized a massive men's event in Tallinn, Estonia - he has been keeping the flames alive for many years... and this night - it went large! Standing room only, men from over 40 churches gathered from across Estonia - one photo is me and Daniel Kwaku with Janno in the city square... then another is the start of praying for all the pastor present at the event... it was epic!
Then, a long.long drive to Lithuania, and a great all day Saturday series of meetings with key pastor Rv Nyila Ivanauskas - great day and huge breakthroughs... photo is Rv. Daniel Kwaku ministering in the event... it was tremendous..
I find it hard not to use superlatives over and over...but, repeatedly key leaders and pastors have told me it was an historic series of events... I believe that as men across the world network and pioneer and help each other build, this is going to be huge!! Already an event is planned in London for June - and the organizers told me it was directly the result of our meetings last week... and, tomorrow I meet key Lithuanian man in London (over 300,000 Lithuanians live there!) And, Daniel Kwaku is headed to Ghana for events in June, the Paris pastors are getting together for events in September... Eddy Leo is headed to Hungary next month and Moscow... Rusty Greer headed to Granada... Robert Barriger doing meetings across South America... it's an awesome season!
Stay in the fire of His presence!!

Riga...
Riga last night was great! Met great East European evangelist Dmitry Makarenko (on the left) who was there to launch one of Pastor Alexei Ledyaev's new churches in Riga... they literally launch - put a tent up... send out evangelists through the area - get dozens of people saved, and BANG! there's a church established... awesome!
On road to Tallinn Estonia... should be a great night!!!
Hit it strong!

wild schedule... doing the men's movement! Highly effective season...
With Bishop Bronner in Atlanta, then men's retreat with new leader of the Church of God of Prophecy Georgia State men's team, Pastor Matthew McEachon... he's fired up, and cranking great directions on the men's movement in Georgia, USA - awesome Pastor Matt!!
Then home late Sat, for great friend, the legendary Harlem Globetrotter Melvin Adams at Hope C3 Church Sunday, then Sunday afternoon to Phoenix with awesome leader Clay Worthy to commission 21 men at Don Wilson's church, Christ Church of the Valley... megachurch with some mega men now! 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!!
Then, to Hamburg with heroic leader Daniel Kwaku and team... hit it strong in Hamburg... in fact hit it is right... with next heavyweight champion of Europe Alexander! He loves God - and he's huge...would not want that to hit me!
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!

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
