In this episode, you will hear a particular case study coming out of South Asia as one of the movement leaders to shares with us. 

Bible based

The podcast begins by encouraging us to keep things simple. Just share the Word and allow the Holy Spirit to help us apply the Bible in our lives. If we keep things simple, multiplication of disciples, leaders and churches can happen. 

Authority releasing

Leaders in DMM are intentional about seeking to make another leader. Ministry without leadership cannot stand. Jesus himself created leaders that multiplied. Multiplying church happens on the back of multiplying ordinary disciples and leaders. 

Start with being a disciple

There is no hierarchy in DMM, at the core, everyone is a disciple. 

“If you are a good disciple, you are a good leader. If you are a good leader, you are a good pastor. If you are not a disciple, how can you be a good pastor and leader?”

Case Study

One of his leaders shares with us how he started with 12 traditional house groups but he soon caught the vision of DMM and started to implement some of the DNA. 

“I used to think, 'I am the boss'. Now I know that God is pleased with our obedience not our knowledge. These days I am giving authority to local leaders and churches are multiplying as a result! Today we have 126 house groups with 70 leaders across 70 villages. Our vision is to reach all 700 villages in our district which consists of 1.6 million people.”

He shares how his teams create short and long term Discovery Bible Study stories. They coach their leaders through their challenges after six months of DMM training. 

“Just like human children, our leaders need to learn to eat by themselves after six months.” 

Pray for South Asia

The podcast finishes by urging us to pray:

"We have 1.4 billion people. Official statistics say that 3% are Christian however we believe that it is more like 6%. Please keep praying for us!"
