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.

🔄 Paradigm Shifts in Leadership

• From control to empowerment—loving people without agenda among the 90 million in his region.
• Discipleship through godly conversation, not just conversion.
• Breaking the “us and them” mindset to see everyone as fellow human beings.
• Raising up ordinary people as leaders, not experts.

🙏 A Movement Rooted in Prayer

Vijay highlights the vital role of mobilizing a culture of prayer, even in the face of ongoing persecution.

🔥 Stories from the Harvest

• Christian leaders continue to reach others even from prison.
• No financial incentives—just wholehearted, voluntary decisions to follow Jesus.
• Community in Christ stands in contrast to the isolation in modern Hindu society.

📘 About the Book: Breakthrough Leadership

• Everyone is called to disciple-making, not merely church attendance.
• Discipleship breaks cycles of bondage and multiplies transformation.

💬 Final Encouragement

“Who am I without my worldly status?”
Jesus met people without title or status. As his followers, we’re called to love without condemnation.

John 3:17 – “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 focus—disciple-making is the core.
• God empowers us with forgiveness—a key to personal freedom and transformation.

⚡ Takeaway Challenge

Don’t settle for being just a church member. Be an agent of transformation. Through you, God can impact families, communities—even nations.
