Seed Funds

We encourage local sustainability by requiring local churches to supply a minimum of 55% of all resources needed to launch the first year of their training program. Over three years, our Seed Fund contributions decrease annually as local funding increases. By year four, the local church fully funds its own program. . . and distributions from the Global Disciples Seed Fund are directed toward new programs. 

Although our seed funding ceases after three years, 83.5% of all programs launched with the help of Global Disciples in the last 25 years continue to actively train and send out workers. And 965 current programs are sustained by local resources and members of the Global Disciples Alliance.

These programs multiply.

During the past year, 2,027 training programs multiplied their impact by training and sending out 13,052 disciple-makers, and planting 2,232 new churches in least-reached areas. And 64,214 new believers began worshiping in these newly-planted fellowships.
