Join with Disciple Makers Increase through End-of-Year Giving
There is a gift that transcends every wish list, outlives every trend, and multiplies in value far beyond what we can imagine. It is the life-changing, hope-restoring, movement-starting Gift of Jesus.
As the year draws to a close and we reflect on all that God has done, the team at Disciple Makers Increase (DMI) feels an overwhelming sense of awe and profound urgency. We are witnesses to movements of disciples in the hardest and most forgotten places on earth. These movements are changing the spiritual climate in unreached regions.
This Christmas, we invite you to join us to help more people come to know the love of God and His Gospel truth. This is more than a fundraiser; it is a chance for us to connect with you, our donors, prayer partners, and friends. Join us in our End-of-Year Campaign, “Give the Gift of Jesus,” and help fuel the multiplication of disciples in Africa and Asia, where people are desperately seeking truth and facing unthinkable persecution for their faith.
The Stories You Don’t See on the News
The headlines often paint a bleak picture, but nestled within the challenges are stories of incredible courage. In the regions where DMI focuses its efforts—often referred to as the Global South—the soil is fertile, and the harvest is ripe. Yet, for the indigenous leaders and new believers we train, following Jesus is not a casual decision; it is a life-altering commitment often made in the face of immense danger.
We are watching our brothers and sisters live out their faith amid intense pressure, persecution, and even martyrdom. In high-risk nations, local missionaries and new house churches operate in the shadows, clinging to the promise that Jesus is near.
This is the reality of the front lines. The resources we raise are not funding comfortable conference rooms; they are providing the foundational training, materials, and support necessary for these courageous disciples to carry the Gospel into environments where it is met with hostility.
Your partnership ensures that the very people willing to risk everything to share Jesus are effectively equipped to do so.
A Glimpse of the Miracle: The Gift of Jesus in Southern Africa
The power of equipping local believers with the tools to start a Disciple-Making Movement (DMM) is best illustrated through the lives that are being transformed. Meet Brother Henry,* a local missionary serving in Southern Africa, in the Lakeshore region. His testimony is a powerful reminder that the Gospel is active, alive, and advancing, even in the most resistant communities.
Henry is focusing his mission among the Lakeshore Muslims, a community historically difficult for the Gospel to penetrate. His work, rooted in the Disciple Making Movement (DMM) principles that DMI teaches, is yielding a harvest that defies expectation:
- From the 2023 multiplication training he received until today, approximately 300 individuals have given their lives to Jesus and become disciples. This figure is a conservative count, excluding the thousands who have made commitments during large-scale crusades and Jesus film sessions.
- The power of prayer is evident: Henry shares simple, powerful miracles. One elderly woman who was blind gained her sight after he prayed with her. Deliverances from bondage and healings from sickness are a routine part of his ministry.
- Creating foundational structure: This organic growth is being intentionally guided, with 18 Disciple-Making Bible Study (DBS) groups established and already multiplying into the fifth generation—a sign of true, sustainable movement.
- Reaching the “No-Go Zones”: Perhaps most challenging, Henry reported, “I managed to reach a particular island, which is a no-go zone for the gospel.” This is the very definition of breaking new ground—going where the established church cannot or will not go.
- Meeting them where they are: In an act of profound courage and wisdom, Henry is even “able to minister in the mosque,” demonstrating how DMM strategies allow the Gospel to meet people exactly where they are, in their own cultural and religious context.
Henry’s experience is just one piece of the global picture. His story is the heartbeat of DMI—proof that when local leaders are trained and released, the Spirit moves with miraculous power, transforming families, villages, and ultimately, nations.
Disciples being trained to multiply disciples
What Partnership with People Like You Has Already Accomplished
Your past generosity has not been a one-time transaction; it has been a strategic investment in multiplication. Because of dedicated partners like you, Disciple Makers Increase has established a proven track record of efficient, high-impact ministry in the Global South.
The Current DMI Impact Snapshot:
| Baptisms | 101,000+ | The Gospel is being shared and multiplied in native heart languages. |
| Leaders Equipped | 5000+ Indigenous Leaders trained | Training local leaders ensures sustainability and cultural relevance. |
| Active Languages | 7 Languages (Online courses) | Online courses to train disciple-makers are now available in seven languages, but disciple-making is taking place in hundreds of languages through those we train |
These are not just numbers; they represent 101,000 lives taken from darkness and brought into the eternal light of Jesus Christ. They represent hundreds of leaders who are now planting churches and discipling others in their own communities, creating movements that are resistant to external pressures.
The Opportunity Ahead: Investing in the Next Generation of Disciples
Your contribution to the “Give the Gift of Jesus” campaign will be channeled directly into the critical work of DMM training, coaching, and resourcing, allowing us to:
- Fund Full Onsite Trainings: A single gift of $1,500 can fully run a critical onsite training in a nation like Pakistan, Togo, or Malawi. This is the seed money for a Jesus movement.
- Provide Essential Tools: Just $12 provides an audio Bible for a new believer who may not be able to read or may live in a village where physical Bibles are impossible to obtain. $300 can provide audio Bibles for an entire village.
- Sustain the Movement: A monthly commitment of $50 provides continuous coaching and accountability for one local leader, ensuring that the movement, once started, never stops multiplying.
This is our chance to provide the fuel for a movement that is already burning brightly. We are strategically investing where the harvest is multiplying, ensuring that your gift is just the beginning of lives transformed.
How You Can “Give the Gift of Jesus” This Christmas
4 Powerful Ways to Join the Effort to Reach the Unreached
1. Give (Your Strategic Investment)
A financial gift is the most direct way to fuel multiplication on the ground.
- One-Time Gift: Fund a training, purchase audio Bibles, or make your greatest impact yet through a single, strategic gift.
- Monthly Partnership: Become a sustainable, year-round investor by committing to a monthly gift. This is what allows us to budget for continuous coaching and long-term sustainability.
- Legacy Gift: Consider making a Qualified Charitable Distribution (QCD) from your IRA or designating DMI in your estate plans. Leave a legacy that multiplies for generations.
2. Pray (The Foundation of Our Work)
We need your prayers now more than ever. The leaders in the Global South are facing spiritual opposition and physical danger.
Pray for:
- Protection and Courage for local missionaries like Henry.
- Open Doors and Open Hearts in the unreached communities.
- Multiplication of the many groups our trainees have started into the fourth, fifth generation, and beyond.
3. Share (Mobilize Your Community)
You have a powerful platform—your social circle. Use it to mobilize others in a community-driven action that makes a tangible global impact.
- Start a Challenge (e.g., The 12 Gifts Challenge): Rally your group chat, small group, or Bible study friends. Challenge 12 people to each give $125 to fund the next full onsite training. Mobilize your network to make Jesus famous in 2026.
- Social Media Advocacy: Share our campaign materials and stories like Henry’s testimony. Tag your friends and encourage them to join us to see many more Jesus movements take off across the globe.

Your generosity is not just a donation; it is THE Gift—the one that keeps on multiplying. It is an investment in eternity that changes families for generations.
Let’s invest our resources, our prayers, and raise our voices in the greatest cause on earth: seeing every nation, every tribe, and every language transformed by the undeniable, life-altering, and multiplying Gift of Jesus.
