Overview

Mission

Disciple Makers Increase (DMI) trains and coaches believers—especially across Asia, Africa, and Latin America—to multiply disciples and start new churches among people with little or no access to the gospel.

What it reported doing in 2025

Serve and help jesus-followers as they engage in missions and grow as disciple-makers.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 96% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.

The verdict

STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered and fundraising costs are high for each dollar raised.
