Overview

Mission

Training people to make disciples; DM2 (Disciple Makers Multiplied) is a nonprofit disciple making organization developed to train Christian leaders to be disciple makers, emphasizing replication, indigenization, transferability and sustainability (aim: teach “faithful people who shall be able to teach others also” in order to fulfill the Great Commission).

What it reported doing in 2025

The impact of Disciple Makers Multiplied (DM2) continues to extend far beyond our direct involvement. The reach of our training is both vast and continually expanding.Our teaching methods and curriculum are now being used in numerous regions around the world, including areas where DM2 does not have a direct presence. In places such as some areas of the United States, Canada, Brazil, French Polynesia, El Salvador, Malawi, and Honduras, individuals who have been trained by DM2or who have been introduced to our materials and philosophy of ministryare now actively training others. This organic spread of our approach demonstrates the reproducible nature of the model and confirms that the methodology is both transferable and sustainable across cultures and contexts.In 2025, DM2 continued its core mission of training and equipping church leaders worldwide, with a sustained emphasis on raising up younger generations for long-term, faithful service in the Church. Our efforts extended across multiple continents, including Africa, South and Central America, Asia, the Former Soviet nations, Nepal, the South Pacific, and the United States.Together with those we have trained, numerous workshops, conferences, and training sessions were conducted in countries such as Cameroon, Ecuador, Argentina, Mexico, Bolivia, Brazil, and French Polynesia. A significant portion of this work is now being carried out independently by national leaders, often funded and organized locally. This is a strong indicator that the DM2 model is not dependent on outside support but rather is functioning as intendedequipping local believers to lead, teach, and multiply within their own communities.These training efforts focused on theological education, pastoral development, and intentional discipleship. Hundreds of participants were directly engaged, and many more are being reached indirectly as these individuals return to their local churches and ministries to teach others also. This multiplication effect continues to accelerate.In addition, DM2 continued the development and refinement of new courses designed to meet the specific needs of churches in a wide variety of cultural settings. These materials are being translated into multiple languages, further increasing accessibility and allowing the training to take root in regions that were previously unreached or underserved.A central pillar of our strategy remains the intentional empowerment of national leaders. Many of those who have been trained through DM2 have gone on to initiate their own training programs. In several cases, these leaders are now functioning entirely independently of DM2, faithfully carrying forward the same philosophy of ministry. This is not a loss of connection, but rather a fulfillment of our goalto see indigenous leadership established, equipped, and multiplying without reliance on external structures.DM2 also continued its focused efforts in youth and women's ministries. Specialized conferences and workshops were conducted to equip these groups for meaningful and effective roles within the Church. In many cases, these ministries have adopted the DM2 name or identity in some form and are using our materials exclusively, further extending the reach and influence of the training.Through all of these initiatives, DM2 continues to make significant progress toward its mission of equipping faithful men and women who will teach others also. The emphasis on sustainability, reproducibility, and local ownership remains central, and the results are increasingly evident.We remain deeply committed to raising up the next generation of workers and leaders for the Church. Many who have graduated from our training programs are now actively engaged in ministry, teaching others, and in some cases launching new training programs, evangelist outreaches and training centers. This ongoing multiplication gives us confidence that the work is not only continuing but expanding and strengthening for the future.
