    Mission Post | Starting Multiple Church Part 1 with Jason Holt

    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."

    Mission Post | The Bible College Question On the Mission Field with Jason Holt

    In this episode, we sit down with Jason Holt, a missionary to Chile and the Latin America field director with Vision Baptist Missions, to talk about the vital role of Bible training in missions. What does it really mean to start a Bible college on the mission field? Is it necessary—or even biblical? Jason shares practical, real-world insight from his experience starting with just a few men and building a structured training program that equips national leaders for ministry. 🔑 In this conversation, you’ll discover: • Why training men—not just growing attendance—is essential for church multiplication • The biblical foundation for discipleship and ministry preparation • How a Bible institute can grow into a full Bible college • Practical steps for missionaries who feel called to train the next generation • The importance of intentional structure, delegation, and long-term vision • Encouragement to start small—even with just a few students around a table Jason also shares lessons learned, challenges faced, and the joy of seeing national leaders rise up to lead, teach, and carry the ministry forward. 💡 Key takeaway: “Pastor less, train more.” Our goal isn’t just to build churches—but to equip others to lead them for generations to come.

Quotes: “We don’t need an attendance record—we need men.” “Bible college is not the goal; training faithful men for ministry is.” “Jesus didn’t just send men—He spent years preparing them.” “We’re commanded to train and prepare, not send out a novice.” “A structured system helps you teach purposefully and keep track of what’s been taught.” “It’s not necessary to have a degree—but it’s a helpful tool in many cultures.” “You can start with just a few men around a table.” “Don’t wait until you have twenty—start with three.” “You don’t have to reinvent the wheel—use the resources that already exist.” “Teaching forces you to grow—it stretches you in ways nothing else will.” “Delegate, delegate, delegate—training others multiplies the work.” “Your role isn’t just to pastor—it’s to train men for ministry.” “If your week looks 100% like pastoring, you may be missing your main mission.” “Get people to read, think, and interact—not just listen.” “Don’t spoon-feed them—teach them how to think.” “Think in decades, not days—ministry is long-term.” “The goal is national leaders who can lead better than you.” “Rarely hearing your name as a favorite teacher—that’s success.” “Start small, but think big and plan intentionally.” “There’s no shortcut—training requires time, effort, and structure.” “We are not going to be there forever—someone must carry it on.” “Pastor less. Train more.” “Bible college is the training arm to accomplish the mission.” “If you never ask someone to consider ministry, don’t expect them to step into it.” “Stretch yourself—but don’t break your family in the process.”

    Mission Post | From Finals to the Field with VSM Students

    From Navy diver to missionary in Colombia—this is a story of adventure, calling, and surrender. In this episode, Chesley shares how a life spent chasing adventure—from the U.S. Navy, MMA fighting, commercial diving, and underwater robotics—ultimately led him to something greater: the call of God. Raised in a pastor’s home, Chesley first sensed God’s calling at a young age—but like many, life took him in a different direction. It wasn’t until years later, at the height of a successful and exciting career, that God made it clear: it was time to go. Now serving as a missionary in Medellín, Colombia, Chesley reflects on what it means to leave everything behind, trust God fully, and live with eternal purpose. 👉 If you’ve ever wrestled with God’s calling, purpose, or missions, this conversation is for you.
