As we reflect on our journey with Disciplers International, we are filled with gratitude for the remarkable transformation we've witnessed in the hearts and lives of individuals across Malawi and Mozambique.

In January 2024 we had the privilege of training a new cohort of Disciplers, including men, women and youth, who have since graduated to become disciple-makers in their communities. This initiative has been a labor of love for us, and we are thrilled to see how it has grown into a thriving ministry that has impacted over 3000 Disciples in both countries.

Disciplers International is more than just a ministry to us; it is a testament to the power of God's love and grace. Despite the physical challenges and obstacles we've faced, such as extreme drought this year, we've remained steadfast in our commitment to discipleship, following a Step-by-Step Process that has not only trained individuals but has also ignited a passion for spreading the love of God.

Central to our success has been our focus on community involvement and development. By training individuals who then go out and train others, we have been able to multiply the impact of our work exponentially. This approach has not only led to the growth of our ministry but has also created a network of passionate individuals who are committed to our vision.

We are also deeply grateful for the support we've received from our partners and donors. Their generosity has enabled us to expand our reach and train even more disciples, and we are humbled by their continued support.

Looking ahead, our vision is to train as many individuals as possible and ensure that they, in turn, reach others. We believe that discipleship is not just about changing lives; it's about transforming nations. Our commitment to this work is unwavering, and we are excited to see how God will continue to use us to build His kingdom.

As we continue on this journey, we are reminded of the words of the apostle Paul in Philippians 1:6 - "being confident of this, that he who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus." We are confident that God will continue to bless our efforts and use us to spread His love to all corners of Malawi and Mozambique.
