PARTNERSHIPS
BECOME A PARTNER:
Disciple Making Ministries values partnerships. Just as members of a physical body must work together for the whole to function properly, so individual partners must work together to build up our global disciple making family. We invite you to use join and use your spiritual gifts and talents for the building up of this global disciple making body. Below are some ways that you can participate:
1. Register and complete a disciple making seminar:
The best way to start your partnership is to register and complete a discipleship training webinar or local seminar. This is how we start relationships and begin to understand our strategy for being and making disciples. You may register for personal local or online discipleship training through our Zoom platform or register for our self-study discipleship training through the Canvas platform. Since real discipleship requires relationships, however, we recommend engaging in personal accountable relationships.
2. Download and use our discipleship resources:
Another way to partner with the fellowship is to download and use our free discipleship training resources. These are available in the downloads section of this website and downloadable through the Canvas platform. Tools in our spiritual toolbox are modular and lesson are useful for plug-and-play applications. We encourage you to adapt and apply universal disciple making principles into your cultural context. Impact is amplified through personal discipleship coaching, however.
3. Subscribe to our discipleship podcast:
Another way to become involved is to subscribe to our discipleship podcast. That way you can listen to some of the introductory material that just may encourage you. We welcome comments and suggestions about episode content, show topics and potential guest speakers. Start listening and then connect with us through that platform.
4. Apply to become a partnering discipleship trainer:
Disciple Making Ministries has vision to establish and equip discipleship trainers who will stay behind in their region of the world facilitating ongoing discipleship training and activity. If you would like to be a discipleship trainer please contact us for an application and personal interview. Regional trainers must complete the program and must have demonstrated a level of success before becoming a regional discipleship trainer.
5. Give towards our vision, mission, and values:
If you are unable to attend an online or local seminars, unable to start your own small discipleship group, or unable to volunteer, then consider partnering with practical financial provisions to help us reach the vision. Below are a number of projects that need financial support. We have a waiting list of pastors and church leaders who have invited us to come and train disciple makers. Hosting a discipleship seminar for local pastors in another country costs around $2000 including airfare, visas and the venue. Other projects such as curriculum development, resource translation, podcast development, media equipment and website maintenance also require financial backing. Our regional discipleship trainers need equipment such as used laptops, projectors, sound equipment and printers to complete their mission. So, the more that is given the more that we can accomplish. Below are some project financing needs:
1. Sponsor website hosting expenses ($225 per year for this website and domain name)
2. Sponsor curriculum translation expenses ($100 per translation project)
3. Sponsor video conferencing platform expenses ($82 per month internet and the Zoom webinar platform)
4. Sponsor a discipleship training seminar abroad... ($3500 to host an overseas disciple making seminar)
5. Support an international discipleship trainer: ($50 USD per month per international discipleship trainer)
