Killing Fields Become Harvest Fields
A few days ago, a CMN team toured the "Killing Fields" outside Phnom Penh in Cambodia. In those fields, men driven by demonic terrorism under the ruthless leader Pol Pot brutally executed a quarter of their nation's population, including infants and small children. Pastor Sam Masteller stood there with his team and committed to reach the men of Cambodia and Southeast Asia for Christ. The fields where Pol Pot killed are now the harvest fields where Sam intends to reach thousands of men, women, and children for Christ. Killing Tree When a man is discipled in Christ, we change the...
When The Crowd Gets In The Way
We don't know much about what happened to people in crowds who followed Jesus. Many were fed and heard great teaching ... but we do know what happened to individual people. Our lives might be lived in crowded streets or neighborhoods, but God doesn't see us as a crowd. He sees you. He sees me. It's personal. That's how discipleship works as well. It's individual. Personal. Often one-on-one. Look at the time Jesus was in a large house with a crowd. Mark wrote about it at the start of his gospel, in chapter two. Jewish scribes are there, seated. Crowds...
We’re Way Beyond Go Time
The CMN trip scheduled for the Middle East has now expanded to another country. It is one of the darkest places on earth for Christians. Please pray for the team, leaving in just hours. Books are ready, tickets purchased, contacts made, pastors alerted, bags are being packed...everything is set. Now is not just "GO TIME" — it's "GOD TIME." Your generous donations—some for $3, some more—have provided the opportunity. And now, it's time to ignite the Holy Spirit's protection and anointing through prayer. For safety, we will not disclose details, nor send pictures that could endanger others. But CMN has...
This Is What Success Feels Like
Success looks like this ... A young father in Cambodia said last week: “As I listened to the messages of Maximized Manhood, I could see many parts of my own life and have come to realize that I have not yet been a real man.” He was one of hundreds of men across Southeast Asia who had transformational experiences. He attended the first-ever Cambodian CMN event. A young Cambodian man said, “I learned a valuable lesson about forgiveness as a man. I have experienced wounds from my family, especially from my father. I learned how a man should forgive so...
What Do You Think Manhood Means?
What does authentic manhood look like? I believe you and I can answer that. Manhood is living as a man formed by the character of Christ—a man whose heart bears the identity of Jesus. It is loving God, loving people, sacrificing for family and friends, keeping your word, governing your appetites, and remaining faithful when faithfulness costs you something. Manhood and Christlikeness are synonymous. As I sit in a Southeast Asian airport, I think about the millions of men across the globe who have never seen that kind of manhood. They have never experienced a father’s blessing, witnessed a healthy...
