POINT LOOKOUT \u2013 <\/b>Tim Cheah grew up as a missionary kid, but it wasn\u2019t until college that he began to understand what it meant to personally live out the Great Commission in every sphere of life. <\/span><\/p>\n Born to Malaysian parents, Cheah spent most of his childhood on the mission field in Indonesia. His parents served through an organization called Ethnos 360, laboring to build relationships between the people and local churches in the area. In a predominantly Muslim country where animistic beliefs are commonplace, life wasn\u2019t built around the church in the way it often is in the Western world. Spiritual need was unquestionably apparent. \u201cMinistry was everywhere,\u201d Cheah says. <\/span><\/p>\n Growing up on the mission field taught Cheah a lot and shaped his worldview, but \u201cit was just where I lived and grew up,\u201d he says. \u201cI never really thought, \u2018oh, I\u2019m here to make disciples.\u2019 It was just kind of like, \u2018I live here.\u2019\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n
