On today’s episode of the Cultivate Church Planting Podcast, Brian Kelly and co-host Nick Cady sit down with their friend Kike Torres from Mexico. Over the last 14 years, Kike has been part of planting 13 churches—some from scratch, others through replanting struggling congregations.

Kike talks about the central role prayer has played in these works, including a simple but powerful practice of praying for nine months before launching a church. He also shares how his team builds preaching calendars together, raises up pastors through residency, and stays connected through monthly prayer and training calls.

The conversation ranges from fresh stories of church plants inMexico and Panama, to lessons on leadership, pastoral health, and the signs of revival beginning to stir in Mexico.

What you’ll hear about:

· Why prayer is the starting point for every new church

· The nine-month prayer model for discerning church plants

· Building and training preaching teams across multiple congregations

· Why healthy pastors are the key to healthy churches

· How churches in Mexico are preparing for both revival and opposition
