Session 5: Case Study
David Kokiong is a former introvert whose life was transformed by the power of the Holy Spirit. Struggling with shyness, he boldly asked for God's help to overcome it—and he was forever changed.
During his seminary years, David stepped out of his comfort zone by requesting small group leadership as his practicum. With guidance from the Small Groups Pastor at Pioneer Memorial Church, he successfully launched and led four diverse small groups: iYouth, which focused on Friday Vespers for the local Indonesian community; The Closer Christian Fellowship, designed to reach non-Christians at Lake Michigan College; Insights into Islam, aimed at training people to work with Muslims; and Overcoming Shyness, a group dedicated to helping people step out of their comfort zones.
David is passionate about empowering others to lead and grow effective small groups. He’ll be sharing his insights in a series of five sessions on Sabbath afternoons at 2:30 PM, from January 18 to February 15, at Stone Tower SDA Church.
