Blog or Article?
Blogs often focus on personal opinion, experiences, views, anecdotes or advice. Blogs tend to have a relaxed and conversational feel, such as in storytelling and are generally 300-500 words.
Articles aim to deliver well-researched, informative content with solid evidence to back up the points made. Articles are usually more formal, organized and frequently range 500-1000 words.
I'm one of those who have the opinion that the current "dispora" of The Way Int'l is by design, rather than the breakup of a large ministry. At the forefront of this, are God's Way Corps obviously, not to be outdone by the many thousands of others who have taken up the mantle. In many respects, it bares similitude to the vernacular "shit hitting the fan". Acts makes a reference to an instance in which the believers went everywhere preaching the word. Together with tools like the Internet, we're seeing great pressure being put on the same old traditions of men, which has been predominant for centuries.
Recently, I discovered a significantly large group of Christians who hold beliefs very similar to those that we had been taught, and mostly are actively practiced under a different moniker. I felt strangely comfortable with many of them, and drawn to help them along with a few inconsistencies (as I saw them). This group is inclusive in nature, and therefore drifts a bit in personal dividings, much like a conglomeration of several denominational viewpoints, while being accepting of one another. This is the opposite of how we were taught, being recipients of "the rightly divided word"; we became "EXclusive", a problem that is still problematic, today.
Anyway, these thousands of mostly accurate believers are spread throughout the US and world, but are largely unheard of because they are organized as a network of independent churches. Some speak in tongues, and some water baptize, and some adhere to the law, but all are non-trinitarian, dead are dead, church epistle, rapture/hope Christ-ins. The odd part is, WE thought that we were the only ministry that had such beliefs. And they are highly evangelistic, meaning they walk the walk, and talk the talk; each and every one. Outreach is a mission from God, for them.
One thing they lack: they start churches in barns, community colleges, or shopping malls, but cannot find fully trained ministers to undershepard them as a church pastor, probably because all the ministerial schools are teaching lies. I offered that the Way Corps could fill this leadership gap. But, one doesn't march in with the spirit of overlord, it takes loving commitment to not teach all you know, and be willing to move to a new location with a small salary.
I'd like to know if there are several Way Corps who could do this, who find that their ministries are not what they want them to be. This is a want-ad. The concept is to over many years meld and morph, teach and love this group; and change accordingly for the sake of the movement of the word. We've GOT the leadership, they've got a need for leaders.

Gary, I have observed another problem. The Word was declared over the world so some ceased teaching Romans 10:9&10. I have spent days running errands and I will often ask people if they know how to get born again and they will cite John 3:16. I have to take the time to lovingly explain that John 3:16 is an invitation. The instruction is in Roman 10:9.
I would be interested in hearing from you regarding these churches. I live in San Antonio but I want to move in September 2021. I'm open to take a temporary assignment to another city or county. I'd really prefer to stay in Texas, but I'm willing to consider other places if I can get more details about the group. I look forward to hearing from you. Romans100club@gmail.com
Your post is very true. I have been able to step into a couple of local churches. getting involved with prayer groups. joined and lead some of their home groups. People in these churches are hungry. We have so much to give. I feel like old way people are so afraid to step in to these areas. They speak in tongues, minister healing, get people born again. I went to this meeting recently because i heard this women was to speak on speaking in tongues. I wanted to go because i thought i could share a little more insight with the people in my home fellowship. Did not need to share anything. It as may as well have been VPW up there teaching. Many people spoke in tongues for the first time that night.
