National pastors perform a baptism at a small rural church in South Asia.

Summary: Movement catalysts possess distinct qualities in three areas: personality, spiritual, and social influence. They exhibit radical learning, innovation, drive to achieve, conscientiousness, assertiveness, and persistence. Spiritually, they have a hunger for God, deep prayer, listening to God, expectant faith, evangelistic zeal, transformational disciple-making, tangible love, and confidence in the Bible. Socially, they inspire others, influence beliefs, empower others, and have confidence in local disciples. People can get involved by starting a movement, joining a catalyst’s team, or serving an existing movement.
