Mission Generation, is being used by over 250,000 children in private and public schools every day, reaching with the Word of God to their entire community.

Rocky Malloy and his wife Joske moved to Bolivia in 1995 and in 1999 they launched a pilot program to teach the Word of God to children in public schools. They published a complete set of textbooks (grades K-12) based on Biblical principles and values including the plan of salvation. This program, now known as Mission Generation, is being used by over 250,000 children in schools everyday. Thousands of children, parents and teachers have come to know Christ through this award winning program.

Have you ever asked yourself what the Apache Nation has in common with Al Qaeda?  Or why people would rather turn to Wikipedia than to Encyclopedia Britannica for information?  Have you ever wondered why Napster, YouTube, Skype, Ebay and other recent movements have had such phenomenal success?

Decentralized organizations are changing the face of business and the world.  Decentralization is also bringing about a global reformation that is reshaping Christianity as well.  Some recent books on the subject that have really helped me are: Winning by Jack Welch, The Starfish and the Spider: The unstoppable power of leaderless organizations by Beckstrom and Ori Brafman, and Revolution by George Barna.

Centralized organizations are traditionally top- down hierarchical structures. There needs to be someone in charge , levels of management below with laborers at the bottom who do the work, but are not required to think.  If you cut off the head, it dies.  That is what happened to the Incas and the Aztecs.  Spanish conquistadors killed the emperors and conquered the entire empire in a matter of months.

Decentralized organizations have no head; they are a flat neural system.  A typical decentralized organization for example would be an Alcoholics Anonymous group or peer-to-peer file-sharing internet users.  Self-organizing groups of people with a common cause or interest that can emerge, expand, multiply or die spontaneously, without red tape or authorization “from above”.  Ordinary people, organized into immensely powerful groups.  An example of this kind of power was demonstrated by the Apache Nation who successfully defended themselves against the

Spanish, French, Mexican and US forces for over two hundred years.  The Apache Nation was comprised of small antonymous groups that could adapt quickly.

Decentralized does not mean lawless however, although they don’t have the same rules that govern traditional organizations they do have norms (values, ethics, codes) that are the backbone of the group.   The members who start or join a group, own, embrace and even enforce these norms themselves.  This is exactly why norms become more powerful than rules.  For example EBay does not inspect the products they sell.  They let the buyers rate the sellers.  Buyers trust other buyers much more than slick propaganda and corporate advertising.

Over the last two years SOF has been invited into other Central and South American countries but we didn’t know how to get there without greatly increasing our expenses.  Using the concepts of decentralization we have completely redesigned the ministry flattening it out creating something similar to AA (Alcoholics Anonymous).  The new structure allows ministry’s services and products to be adopted and used by people all over the Spanish world.  Decentralization is allowing us to move fast and expand quickly without incurring increased cost which means your donations are going further than ever to help people. The bottom line – more people are hearing the gospel, being taught the Word of God and receiving ministry.

We have also taken the same concept and used it to start a house church movement called Calvary Chapel.  It is only four weeks old and we already have three churches!  People love the idea of having church in a house with other families.

So few results are obtained from drug or alcohol rehab centers because the odds are 84,400 to 1 against the addict.  There are 84,400 seconds in a day and each second requires the addict to decide whether “to use” or “not to use.”  All it takes to fail is to be wrong one time.  Addicts are trapped in a narrowing downward spiral so tight they can only see life a second at a time.  Even though most addicts hate themselves and the chemicals that keep them dependent, any thoughts of stopping bring such terror they intoxicate themselves with more chemicals.  The small percentage of addicts that do break out of chemical dependency do so by moving past the present into the future.  The rest are so consumed with the immediate they can’t see past the next opportunity to use.  They either don’t like where they are going or don’t know where they are going so they forever lock themselves in the present.

This is the same mental process that happens with the drunk driver.  He can’t navigate, plan, record, or control the course or the position of their automobile because they drive according to where they are instead of where they wants to go.  It is like trying to run 50 miles an hour staring at your feet.  Drunks don’t look down the road they look over the hood.

Don’t be too quick to point fingers at drug addicts or alcoholics as the dregs of society.  According to Jesus in Luke 21:34-36, overeating and worry are just as addictive and equally as destructive.  People afflicted with these either don’t like where they are going or don’t know where they are going. In either case, it is an excuse to inebriate oneself instead of facing the fears of the future.  Overeating and worry are indulgences that lead to the same place of death as chemical dependence: doubt in oneself and unbelief in God.

I have been hearing a great deal of pessimism concerning America’s future – from Christians!

The economy is going south, the war is going to be our end, the market is going to collapse, our infrastructure is falling apart, life as we know it is going to end, nuclear war is eminent, we are doomed!  Worry replays scenarios of death and destruction over and over again until we are absolutely intoxicated.  According to Jesus, overweight and stressed out people are just as drunk as chemically dependent people.  The doomsday preachers and news commentators are either ignorant of what the Bible says or don’t believe it.  No different than any other addict, they are so intoxicated with the present they can’t see the future.

I have always found the advice in Eph 5:18-20 to be especially profound.  Get drunk in the Spirit and forget about everything else. That doesn’t mean be ignorant of the times or stupid when it comes to money management or financial security.  It means to be filled with the Word of God, dependent on Jesus and addicted to His presence.

Jesus clearly says that if we don’t overeat, drink or worry we will qualify to escape everything the end times can throw at us (Luke 21: 34-36)!  In every generation since the flood there as been a remnant that has survived to inherit the earth!  Put the odds in your favor!  Stay focused on your purpose; don’t break rank with the Holy Ghost.  Walk right though the middle of everybody else freaking out, drying up, going bankrupt, or diseased without a scratch (Psalms 91)!  You can walk though the fire of the end times and without smelling like smoke (Dan 3:27)!  The next time you hear bad news about the future laugh out loud and say, “Praise God I am a Holy vessel chosen to fulfill my destiny in Christ and no devil from hell can stop me!”  “I am increased in a time of decrease to be a light unto the world!”   Relax and enjoy the ride, you are going to make it to a victorious end!

On September 2009, Pastor Gary Lawton led a team of people to Bolivia where they shared the Word of God into the public schools. Around 5,000 students opened their hearts to Salvation. This was with the full endorsement of the Communist government currently in power!
