A Third of Our World has not yet heard the Good News of Jesus.
Global Disciples refers to this third of the world as least-reached. We live in a time where many of these people are within reach of a local church. Through our simple and effective strategy of training and coaching, believers share the Gospel in their own nations and cultures.
We understand it’s impossible to accomplish this mission alone. That’s why we partner with 1,619 clusters of churches in 71 nations.

How are you growing as Global Disciples?
Global Disciples is riding a wave of multiplication around the world.
What makes this growth possible? God is doing the work. We simply have the privilege of joining with Him. The Global Disciples model encourages growth in several ways:
It’s doable: Churches of any size can use the training.
It’s done in partnership: Three or more churches work together for training.
It’s resource friendly: Our discipleship-training can be done with a Bible, a training manual, and…not much else!
It’s reproducible: The model can be reproduced by disciple-makers, church planters, and leaders at every level.

How communities are transformed
1
We equip churches to launch local training programs
We partner with local churches and equip them with practical training they provide for their own people and support through their own resources.
2
They train and send their people to least-reached areas
It starts when a group of cooperating churches chooses a director to lead a phase of training in discipleship, small business, or leadership. Global Disciples then prepares each director to equip their people.
3
Disciples and locally sustainable fellowships are multiplied
We see these three phases of training–discipleship, small business, or leadership–as interlocking parts in a greater strategy to multiply disciples and churches among least-reached people. When all three phases of training work together, we see significant and lasting multiplication.
