Ryan Delamater – Part 4 of 4 – Why Empowerment Fuels Exponential Growth

In the final part of their conversation, Ralph Moore and Ryan Delamater reflect on the lessons Ryan has learned through the growth of OCNWTR. Ryan shares how the movement continues to multiply through micro-churches connected to clean water projects, and why generosity, empowerment, and faith-filled risk are central to sustaining it.

They dive into practical insights on developing young leaders, building trust in cross-cultural contexts, and keeping ministry simple enough to reproduce. Ryan also offers encouragement for planters who feel under-resourced, showing how starting small and giving ministry away can unleash exponential impact.

This closing episode ties together the themes of the series, like innovation, suffering, multiplication, and faith, into a hopeful vision for the future of church planting in unlikely places.
