Multiply impact beyond yourself
A disciplemaker is one who makes disciples that make disciples. It goes beyond just growing in your own faith. The goal is not just to teach but also to train others to continue the process of connecting with nonbelievers, sharing your faith story and the gospel with them, and establishing new and young Christians in the truths of Christianity. That includes yourself and everyone in your women’s ministry. Encourage lifestyle disciplemaking as you train and release more disciplemakers to go into their families, neighborhoods, schools, and workplaces.
- Read the blog, “Launch: Multiply Impact Beyond Yourself” to find out more about the launch process.
- Check out our resources for connecting with nonbelievers and establishing new Christians.
- If you are a ministry leader, host a “Leap into Lifestyle Disciplemaking” retreat or conference for the women of your church.

Get Trained as a Christ-Focused Small Group Leader

I am a women’s ministry leader and Bible teacher, on staff at a church that is currently in the process of discovering what it means to be a Disciplemaking Church. We’ve been going to the conferences and reading all the books. I fell into your website a few months ago and LOVE it. It has been incredibly helpful to me, and I’m recommending it left and right and using the resources widely. Meanwhile, I’ve taken a step with 2 other women to gather women in my home to help cast the vision for the call to all believers to be disciplemakers. We want to “prime the pump” so that when our church starts to implement the vision and mission for being a DMChurch, there will be 60 or so women who have come through my living room who are either already discipling, or who understand and are excited to launch into disciplemaking relationships. Thank your for your incredible work in the Kingdom! I’m so grateful to have found your website and ministry! (Shannon)
