We continue our series from the Thailand 25 Gathering, hearing from a leader from South East Asia who is catalysing disciple-making movements among a large unreached people group, and from Dave, who shares practical insights on how to catalyse movements with stories from Fiji and England.
From the South East Asian Leader
He shared about three key roles in disciple-making movements (DMM):
2. Facilitator – helping others become disciple-makers.
3. Catalyst – multiplying movement through others.
He described his personal calling as that of a Catalyst—someone Jesus sends into new places to find people of peace, help them discover Jesus, and train others to do the same.
Some key principles he highlighted:
• Follow Jesus’ plan to be sent into places where you know no one, trusting Him to lead you to people with open hearts.
• Gather and train those who respond—equip them with simple tools and resources.
• Model and multiply—invite those who have seen fruit to share at trainings and train others by example.
• Form teams from those trained—pray together, stay together, and go back to Scripture and DBS regularly.
• Coach and mentor ongoingly, repeating the process to see multiplication continue.
From Dave: How to Catalyse Movements
Dave shared how catalysing begins with our relationship with God—hearing His call and being led by the Spirit.
He described five levels or roles in movement growth:
1. Disciple (groups of 2s and 3s)
2. Group leader (People of Peace, often church leaders)
3. Leader of groups and streams of churches that are multiplying
4. Regional leaders (those carrying a vision across nations or regions)
5. Catalysts who help multiple movements grow
Key insights from Dave’s experience:
• Everything begins in prayer—listening to God and watching for new things He is doing.
• Find catalytic leaders—local, Spirit-led people whom God is already using.
• Serve others by asking, “What does this person need?” rather than pushing your own agenda.
• Movement work is highly relational and Spirit-dependent, not just about strategy or training.
Dave reminds us that God is the one who catalyses the work—and sometimes He turns the question back to us:
“How much do you want?”
