Our best research says that right now there are over 2,000 movements, church planting

movements, disciple making movements, by which I mean disciples making disciples, churches

planning new churches, planning new house churches.

This is the amazing part.

The vast majority of those 2,000 movements and over 100 million believers are among Muslims or Hindus.

It's mostly in Asia and Africa where these movements are happening, and mostly in places

where there aren't many churches around.

Hey friends, welcome back to another episode of Theology.

My guest today is Dave Coles, father of the amazing great Coles, who was a pastor for 10 years in the United States and served in Indonesia for 24 years.

He now is an encourager and resourceer ofourcer of the church planting movements,

primarily through writing and editing.

Dade is the author of many books,

including his recently released book,

God on the Move,

making disciples among the nations,

which forms the backdrop of our conversation

where we talk about various movements

of the church around the globe

in unexpected and hard to reach places.

Greg is, or sorry, Greg's dad, Dave, is a seasoned missionary, an exquisite writer,

and also is very, very thoughtful when it comes to the concept and theology of missions. So please welcome to the show

for the first time, the one and only, Dave Coles. Dave Coles, welcome to Theology and the Raw.
