How God Starts Movements: From a Dream in Prayer to Church Multiplication in Sudan | E34

What does it take to start a church multiplication movement in one of the most unreached, hostile environments in the world?

In this powerful episode of On the Move, host Leanne White sits down with Emanuel Prinz—missionary, consultant, and author of What Actually Starts Movements—to hear his extraordinary story of how God used him to start a church multiplication movement in Sudan.

As a young man hungry for God, Emanuel prayed for clarity about his life's purpose. That night, God gave him a dream showing a region in Sudan—100% Muslim, 35 distinct people groups, with virtually no known Christ followers. God promised: "I will write church history here." Years later, Emanuel found himself in that very region during a civil war, asking one critical question at every step: What will it take to start a movement?

In this episode, you'll discover:

The "person of peace" strategy and how to identify multipliers in any society
How demonstrating the love of Christ through meeting felt needs opens hearts to the gospel
Why reproducible methods (stories + simple discovery questions) are essential for multiplication
The moment 50+ village chiefs publicly committed their lives to Christ—and what happened next
How the movement spread to sixth-generation churches and continues today, 13+ years later
The shared qualities of movement starters: deep hunger for God, listening prayer, and expectant faith based on God's revelation
Why movements start not with methodology, but with alignment of heart—and then aligned action

Emanuel challenges every believer: "I want to challenge everyone not just to live the status quo, but to say, Father, how can you use my life? Show me so I can make a difference for the glory of your name in this world." Whether you're a missionary, pastor, or everyday believer, this episode will inspire you to pursue deep prayer, expectant faith, and obedient action in partnering with God for kingdom multiplication.
