Episode notes
What is the true measure of a missionary's success? Is it building one thriving church, or leaving behind churches that continue reaching people long after the missionary is gone?
In this episode, missionary Jason Holt shares the biblical vision of multiple church planting and explains why the goal of missions is not dependence on a missionary, but the establishment of healthy, indigenous churches that can stand on their own. Drawing from over two decades of ministry in Chile and the planting of nearly twenty churches, Jason discusses the Great Commission, the New Testament pattern of church planting, and the importance of training leaders who will carry the work forward.
Whether you're a missionary, pastor, ministry leader, or someone passionate about reaching the world with the gospel, this conversation will challenge you to think beyond one church and embrace a vision of multiplication.
Topics Covered: • Why church planting is essential to the Great Commission
• The biblical pattern of multiplying churches
• Training national leaders for long-term impact
• Why every missionary must think beyond their first church
• Building ministries that continue after the missionary leaves
"The goal is not to build something that depends on us, but to establish churches that will continue reaching their communities for generations."
