This is what I saw this week in Vietnam... from Joel 3:9: “Wake up the mighty men. Get ready for battle.” God is waking up and raising up mighty men! Jesus didn’t come to win a popularity contest. He came to win a war. And He chose you and me to join His mission. “You didn’t choose Me. I chose you” (John 15:16–17 NLT). We are men on a mission—and the mission is Jesus. This past week, CMN brothers from three different nations produced powerful Southeast Asia mission events in major cities in Vietnam and Cambodia. Outstanding results, especially among...

A new thrust into a nation that is...

Nat's a surfer and lawn guy who checks in at church on Sundays. His wife wanted to fly to Lions Roar to see friends, so he reluctantly boarded a plane to leave the beach for a weekend of “more church.” At the end of the first day, he bought a CMN jacket. At calls for prayer on the second day, he responded. Once home, he joined two men’s groups, reads CMN books and his Bible, prays...
