Podcasts about contagious disciple making

In this episode, Dave catches up with Mike Porteous while connecting with the Praxeis team and disciple-makers in New Zealand. Mike is a seasoned missions and church leader who has embraced a Disciple-Making Movement (DMM) paradigm—both locally and as far afield as Zambia. He shares his journey, key insights, and encouragement to keep disciple-making simple and Spirit-led. Mike's Journey From a farming background, Mike had a powerful encounter with God at 21 that launched him into decades of mission work—from the Philippines in the '70s to serving with groups including YWAM since 1980. In the early 1990s, while on staff at what is now Gracecity Church, Mike's hunger for real and lasting mission impact grew. Introduced to DMM through others and inspired by David and Paul Watson's book Contagious Disciple Making, Mike knew this was a path he needed to pursue. What's Happening Now? Mike's DMM work has expanded into Zambia through a connection with a Sri Lankan man working there. Though 90% of Zambians are churchgoers, transformation was lacking. But through simple DBS tools, real change is taking root. Today, three DBS streams are multiplying, and Mike continues coaching leaders to sustain and grow the movement. Back in New Zealand Despite initial slow traction, Mike's persistence in starting DBS groups has led to surprising breakthroughs. One key moment came during a Sunday night training north of Auckland—attended by Sam Turner, who's now seeing movement among gang communities. Multiplication is happening, and Sam is running far beyond what he could do himself.* Key Shifts in Mike's Thinking Discovery over Teaching – Moving from telling to facilitating, Mike has learned to trust God to reveal His Word through others. Simple Tools for Equipping – He's passionate about helping people uncover their God-given purpose and equipping them with tools that multiply through simplicity. Challenges Prayer – Building prayer teams and rhythms that moves people from a place of conviction in prayer to seeing transformation. Leadership Development – Particularly in Zambia, where structure is needed for lasting depth in an over-evangelised context. Discernment – In New Zealand, Mike is asking: Who is the Spirit highlighting to invest in? Final Encouragement Mike reminds us of two things: “The key people are probably already in your orbit....We tend to complicate things. Keep it super simple.” *Hear more of the stories of God moving amongst gang members in the north of New Zealand at the end of this podcast.

More on disciple making. We can do this!

What did it take to get to the first church in a Disciple Making Movement of millions in India? This week we're joined once again by David Watson, Paul Watson's father and co-author of Contagious Disciple Making. In a previous podcast, David came on to tell the story of how he found his first 5 leaders as he started ministry in India. Now he returns to share what happened in between finding those leaders and seeing the first church formed.    Hear stories of David's first encounter with an indigenous church on a military base where he risked his life ministering to an unexpected congregation. Learn the lessons he learned about coaching church pastors into facilitators, using the "one another" passages in Scripture, the definition of success as reproduction, how our time is not our own, and more.   Visit www.patreon.com/faithworks for part 2.

With over 80,000 churches and 2,000,000 baptized believers, how did this incredible disciple making movement among the Bhojpuri of India start? David Watson, co-author of Contagious Disciple Making and one of the inventors of the term "disciple making movement" joins us on the CDM Podcast to paint a picture of what those first few years in India looked like.

Paul Watson joins us to talk about his book Contagious Disciple Making and helps us understand how our approaches to evangelism can be raising barriers and how we can adapt to become more effective in making disciples as we seek to engage in the Great Commission. [et_social_share]

Paul Watson is Co-Author of a book and Co-Founder of a movement called Contagious Disciple Making. We discuss the heart of Contagious Disciple Making and uncover Paul's perspective on our role as believers to disciple and Jesus' role to build His church. Paul would say he was birthed into this movement with his family growing up, but there was a dramatic moment with God that made it real and personal, “Paul, if I choose to take your father home with me today, will you still love me?” You can learn more about Paul Watson and the organization at contagiousdisciplemaking.com
