The Power of One
Within Southeast Asia, a vision began to take root in the heart of Haggai Leader Mira*. She had a vision not just to share the message of Jesus, but to raise up others who would carry it even further. What started as one woman’s obedience has grown into a movement of restoration, fueled by a deep belief that true change comes when leaders are multiplied, not just made. As head of Christian Community Guidance for the Ministry of Religion in Alor Regency and a leader of a foundation dedicated to sharing the Gospel, Mira carries a dual calling: a calling to shepherd the present and to equip the future.
Faced with the spiritual needs of over 150,000 people, Mira knew the work couldn’t begin somewhere far off—it had to start with those closest to her. In 2020, she turned to her own team of ten and led each one to Christ. From there, a powerful movement began. She launched weekly evangelism training that continues to this day, planting seeds that would multiply far beyond what anyone expected. Those original ten now lead over 120 small evangelism groups, and the network has grown to include 32 trained leaders who oversee more than 300 active teams across the region.
To sustain the momentum, Mira designed a simple but strategic system for training, reporting, and prayer. This ensured that no effort was wasted, and every soul was seen. When funding fell short for a broader outreach initiative, she didn’t stop. Instead, she built a partnership that allowed the team to reach 400 new students across Kalabahi, using over 3,700 repentance bracelets as tools to spark transformation.
Mira launched a boarding school for street children and school dropouts through the foundation he was a part of. These are young lives that were once overlooked but are now receiving education, discipleship, and evangelism training. Many of them go on to attend college and later return to their villages, carrying both knowledge and the message of Jesus to places still waiting for hope. The vision continues to grow, expanding from local impact to national reach.
One of the newest expressions of that vision is the Spiritual Café, a warm and welcoming space where street children experience worship, engage with Scripture, and find community while enjoying a meal. Staffed by young believers, it serves as both a café and a mission field. Although the team has faced spiritual opposition, their prayers continue as they ask God to raise up a new generation prepared to carry the vision forward.
In 2005, after returning from ministry in Bangka Belitung, Mira took a bold step by opening a theology high school in her own home. She welcomed young people from remote villages who had little or no access to education. What began with just 15 students and five volunteer teachers has since flourished into a vibrant school with 156 students, 21 teachers, and 490 trained evangelists, all of whom return to their villages to spread the message of restoration.
The work is far from over. Mira continues to build networks and find foster parents to support the growing student body. She develops reporting systems, forges new partnerships, and continually seeks God’s guidance for innovative ministry approaches. Through it all, one truth remains at the heart of his mission: multiplication. One life transformed lead to ten, ten became a hundred, and a hundred multiply into thousands.
What started as a simple act of obedience from Mira has blossomed into a powerful movement of restoration. She recognized that hope needed to take root in Southeast Asia, and that change begins with just one person willing to step forward. One life touched becomes the seed from which thousands will flourish.
