Join us to hear Pastor Jason and Pastor Chad as they recount how God worked around them during their recent trip to South Asia.  This is Part 3 of their journey!

What if multiplication looked less like a stage and more like a living room? We sit down to unpack a journey across North India—from the dusty lanes of Bihar to the radiant Golden Temple in Amritsar—and trace how a quiet network of relationships has become tens of thousands of house churches. The map stretches fast: a tiny headquarters coaching layers of leaders, catalytic planters guiding clusters of churches, and a rhythm of discipleship that moves through families and neighborhoods instead of events.

The contrasts are striking. In Amritsar, Sikh devotion and disciplined beauty mirror values Christians affirm—dignity, service, humility—even as the gospel tells a different story about grace. That contrast becomes a conversation, not a conflict, when a Sikh-background leader opens doors to homes where worship is simple and full. Then the border comes into view. We stand at a fence framed by rival stadiums once built to shout across at each other, and learn how training still leaps the barrier: screens blacked out for security, trusted connectors in Pakistan and Afghanistan, seeds of faith taking root in places most of us only read about.

But the heart of this episode beats in small spaces. A family clears their bedroom and moves the fridge to make room for church. Their story begins with a son miraculously healed after a near-fatal accident; it continues as cousins, parents, and neighbors encounter Jesus and plant more gatherings down the same lane. On a quiet Tuesday night in Bodh Gaya, a rooftop water tank becomes a baptistry as thirty-five new believers step into the water under the gaze of a 90-foot Buddha. No campaigns. No cold contact. Just patient steps through relationships, Scripture, and obedience.

If you’ve wondered how movements grow, why compassion matters across faith lines, and what it looks like to act like Jesus where borders and beliefs collide, this conversation will widen your view and warm your resolve. Subscribe, share this with a friend who needs hope, and leave a review to help others find the show—and then tell us: where is God asking you to take the next step?

We trace how a house-church movement in India grows from relationships, not events, and why compassion turns rivals into neighbors. Stories from Bihar and Amritsar show miracles, cross-border training, and rooftop baptisms in the shadow of a giant Buddha.
