Guest: Vijay (Coauthor with Dave Coles of Bhojpuri Breakthrough and their new book Breakthrough Leadership. This is a highly commended leadership development book for us as movement leaders)
In this first episode, Vijay shares his powerful journey from a traditional church mindset to becoming a catalyst for disciple-making movements across northern India. He unpacks key paradigm shifts and stories that have shaped his leadership and passion for transformation.
š Paradigm Shifts in Leadership
From control to empowermentāloving people without agenda among the 90 million in his region.
Discipleship through godly conversation, not just conversion.
Breaking the āus and themā mindset to see everyone as fellow human beings.
Raising up ordinary people as leaders, not experts.
š A Movement Rooted in Prayer
Vijay highlights the vital role of mobilizing a culture of prayer, even in the face of ongoing persecution.
š„ Stories from the Harvest
Christian leaders continue to reach others even from prison.
No financial incentivesājust wholehearted, voluntary decisions to follow Jesus.
Community in Christ stands in contrast to the isolation in modern Hindu society.
š About the Book: Breakthrough Leadership
Everyone is called to disciple-making, not merely church attendance.
Discipleship breaks cycles of bondage and multiplies transformation.
š¬ Final Encouragement
āWho am I without my worldly status?āJesus met people without title or status. As his followers, weāre called to love without condemnation.
John 3:17 ā "For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him."
Discipleship is a lifelong journey of becoming like Christ.
The church is the fruit, not the focusādisciple-making is the core.
God empowers us with forgivenessāa key to personal freedom and transformation.
ā” Takeaway Challenge
Donāt settle for being just a church member. Be an agent of transformation. Through you, God can impact families, communitiesāeven nations.
