God is raising people across the globe who are willing to pay the price, even lay down their lives, for the spreading of His life-changing message. It is dangerous for them at times, and they are dangerous to the kingdom of darkness. They don’t look like great warriors. These ordinary people, those others would never dream could make such a difference, boldly proclaim Jesus to those around them. They start groups of disciples, that start other groups. These everyday plumbers, businessmen, and housewives are boldly going into new communities, sharing gospel truth. They are the dangerous disciples that God is releasing through DMI’s global ministry.

The end of 2024 is approaching, and it’s been an incredible year at Disciple Maker’s Increase (DMI). We’re so thankful for His impact on lives around the world. We also thank God for the dedication of our staff, leaders, alumni, trainees, and coaches. As we transition into the holiday season, let’s remember its true meaning: the birth of Jesus Christ.

Let’s also remember His command to make disciples. Countless faithful workers worldwide sacrificially work to fulfill this mission. We at DMI know our ministry would not be possible without the support of our global community. Your prayers, encouragement, and financial contributions help our efforts to spread the Gospel throughout the world.

A Year of Growth and Impact

2024 has been a year of remarkable growth. Trainees, facilitators, alumni, and leaders have been praying, working, and sharing the Good News. As a result, we have witnessed an incredible multiplication of disciples. Since our beginning in 2020, we’ve trained and coached over 5,500 individuals. These trainees come from 118 nations.

Together, these trainees, alumni, and those they are discipling have seen over 22,172 new disciples, just in the last 6 months. We have celebrated more than 31,000 baptisms since 2020. Many of our trainees and alumni live in parts of the world where there is much persecution. They share with great boldness despite severe personal cost. Many live in places where it is dangerous to share the Good News of Jesus. However, they continue to do so, knowing He is the answer and there is salvation in Christ alone. To God be the glory!

Investing in God’s Kingdom

As we approach Christmas, at DMI, we’re reflecting on the meaning of investing in God’s Kingdom.

We’re grateful for your prayers and financial support. This ministry could not flourish without you and others who pray and give.

Let’s celebrate! Together, we have played a part in reaching countless souls with the Good News in 2024. The numbers remind us how far we have come, but it is in the stories of individuals that we are reminded about what this is all for.

It is the story of a lady in Thailand who asked if the DMM course could be made available at a cheaper price Burmese pastors she was working with. There is a large population of Burmese refugees in Thailand. Because of God’s provision through our partners, we could offer 90% off scholarships for them.

It is also the story of a Malaysian woman who was at an onsite training. There she understood that she too could baptize. That she was a royal priest of the Kingdom, and that Jesus had commissioned her too! She was so delighted to know that God had invited her into His work in this way.

Looking Ahead to 2025

In 2025, we’re excited to continue our online training programs, providing support and coaching to disciples around the globe. We’re also committed to translating our courses into more languages and distributing audio Bibles to those, especially in the most rapidly growing movements, who cannot read. Additionally, we’re planning onsite training in West Africa and other regions to deepen the impact of our disciple multiplication programs. There is so much that we want to ask God to do in 2025. Ten movements are growing rapidly. We are excited to be part of it. Many more are beginning to grow and multiply disciples too. In 2025 we continue to boldly ask God to release fifty new movements!

End-of-Year Campaign: Dangerous Disciples

Our annual End-of-Year Campaign, themed “Dangerous Disciples,” highlights the courage and boldness of believers who share the Gospel despite persecution. These courageous individuals are making a significant impact, leading many to Christ.

Ways to Get Involved:

• Fund Language Translation: Break down language barriers to reach more people. $3000 funds the cost of launching our core program in a new language.
• Sponsor New Onsite Training: Online training is the entry point to learning, but onsite training is where the action happens as our coaches meet people face to face. A gift of $1500 helps us launch onsite follow up training in a new country.
• Invest in Scholarships: Many of our trainees pay only a tiny fraction of the cost needed to offer them online training. A gift of $87 will make up the difference.
• Give an Audio Bible: Deepening the impact of our discipleship programs. A gift of only $12 purchases an audio Bible for a newly believing family.
• Pray for these Dangerous Disciples: Commit to pray for those in persecuted areas who risk their lives daily to share the good news with others.
• Volunteer with DMI in behind-the-scenes logistics roles. Let us know if you are interested and want to help!
