Video – Call2All DTS Cambodia Discovery groups!

Nathan Uttley – a rad student on Call2All DTS – shares with us about a Cambodian-led Bible Discovery group he was starting! This is what will make a difference – indigenous-led simple expressions of church!

Throughout the DTS we have challenged the students with the question of how to make lasting fruit in the nations. This is actually a question that has been burning in my heart for a while – how do we really leave lasting fruit, and not just go looking for salvations, leaving behind believers with no idea how to grow.

I asked Dan Shannon to speak to our school in the last week of DTS. He spoke for just an hour over Skype, blasting us about the importance of planting simple indigenous-led expressions of church, giving us concrete ways to pursue that, and inspiring us with stories of what can happen. We were all excited and challenged, and Jenni and I were praying that the Lord would make an opportunity for our students to do this on outreach.

Needless to say, we were so blessed to visit Cambodia and find that Nate and the Cambodia team were doing just that! Nate had started a Bible discovery group, and quickly handed over leadership to a great young guy called Behab. Behab began inviting his friends, then leading them in simple Bible studies where they focused on how to obey the teachings of Jesus. While we were there youth were getting saved in the group and it was starting to grow like wildfire! It was such a privilege to witness the simplicity of the Gospel impacting the people of Cambodia in such a real way, and to see Nate and the Holy Spirit making it happen!

PS. Nate is going to be joining us on staff in Kona in the coming months! Follow his progress here.
