Part2: Urban Villages and the Goal of Disciple-Making

Scott Crawley, based in Singapore, sits down with Nooa Saari and Hanna Ojuva to continue their conversation on disciple-making in urban contexts.

The discussion explores key urban concepts such as the Urban Village and asks what kinds of people typically make up these relational and social clusters within cities. Together, they reflect on how understanding these micro-communities helps disciple-makers navigate urban complexity more wisely.

Toward the end of the episode, Nooa summarizes the conversation and then challenges Scott with a pointed question:
How do we form groups in urban spaces?

Scott pushes back and reframes the issue, emphasizing that the group is not the goal. Groups are important, but they serve a greater purpose—helping people know Jesus and learn to follow Him. Unsatisfied with the answer, Nooa presses further, challenging Scott with a core DMM strategy question, leading to a lively and clarifying exchange.

This episode explores:

The concept of Urban Villages and who inhabits them
Why cities require different disciple-making lenses
Groups as a means, not an end, in disciple-making
Strategic tensions at the heart of urban DMM thinking

A dynamic conversation that sharpens both vision and practice for disciple-makers in cities.
