“We’ve seen exponential growth since you started working with us.”
These words came from the leader of a ministry network in South Asia that two of our Strategy Coordinators, Rodney* and Chloe*, have been working with.
“Before we met them, they had a great heart and had seen some amazing fruit, but they didn’t have any tools for multiplication,” Rodney said. “However, when simple tools are put in the hands of every believer, many of them come alive to the Great Commission for the first time in their lives.”
That was certainly true for this ministry network. As Rodney and Chloe have walked in close relationship with this network for two years, they have equipped each believer with biblical, simple tools to help them share their faith, disciple new believers, and plant churches using the New Testament as their guide.
The ministry network’s approach to ministry is being rewritten. Rather than relying on programs or personalities, they are studying Scripture and asking new questions: How did Paul plant churches? How did he raise leaders? How did the early church endure persecution? How does multiplication actually happen?
And as their biblical vision grows, so does their goal. Today, this network has a bold, Spirit-born dream: to see a church in every village – and now they have the tools and strategy to pursue it.
Multiplication in Motion
Rodney and Chloe have been investing in a cohort of 6-8 pastors, gathering roughly once a quarter for training, coaching, and encouragement. The results from just the last quarter have been astonishing:
- They entered twice as many villages.
- They shared the Gospel with 3.5 times more people.
- They started four times more new groups
These aren’t just numbers. Each one represents lives touched, families reached, and villages experiencing the Gospel – many for the very first time.
When Obedience Ignites a Movement
To understand what this looks like on the ground, meet Priti*.
She and her husband attended one of Rodney and Chloe’s trainings in the city, where they explored the biblical principle of sharing the Gospel with their “oikos,” or their sphere of influence – their friends, family, neighbors, and coworkers. Priti began writing down the names of lost people in her life.
“As she made her list, she felt inspired to keep writing more and more names,” Rodney said. “God put such a burden on their hearts that they left the city and moved back to the village to reach people with the Gospel and plant churches – like Priscilla and Aquila!”
For months, Rodney and Chloe didn’t hear from Priti. Then she walked back into one of the trainings with a radiant smile and a surprising announcement:
“We have 15–20 new believers across several villages!”
How did those people come to faith?
Priti said she prays and God answers.
People are being healed, families are experiencing miracles, and entire communities are discovering that Jesus is the One True Living God. Some are even being healed through prayer over the phone! And with every testimony, new doors open.
“A fire has started,” Rodney said, “and we are praying it continues to burn until there is no place left.”
Pray With Us
As this movement grows, we are praying the same prayer Rodney is praying – the same one that Paul prayed in Romans 15:19–23 – that the Gospel would spread “from Jerusalem all the way around to Illyricum … until there is no place left.”
Please join us in praying for this network as they:
- Focus deeply on discipleship.
- Strengthen emerging church-planting efforts.
- Raise up the next generation of leaders.
- Continue pressing into unreached villages.
Thank you for being part of this Kingdom work in South Asia. Because of your prayers, giving, and partnership, those who have never heard the name of Jesus will one day worship Him with joy for all eternity. The fire has started. And by God’s grace, it will not stop until every village has heard.
