Disciple the Nations

What Disciple the Nations does

Disciple the Nations (DTN) is a Florida-incorporated 501(c)(3) nonprofit Christian missions agency founded in March 2019 and headquartered via a P.O. Box in Magnolia, Arkansas, with all staff working remotely. The organization operates a church-centric missions model, partnering with local churches to send, support, and care for approximately 24 missionary families and individuals deployed across more than 10 countries including Portugal, Italy, Hungary, Poland, Costa Rica, Guatemala, Brazil, Ecuador, MENA, Uganda, and the Philippines. DTN's core services include missionary recruitment, training, care, and financial management; sending church training seminars; the DTN Church Network; the annual DTN Gathering conference; a children's ministry sub-brand called Winnie Kate's Kids; and an online Spanish language instruction program delivered via Zoom. All missionaries and staff raise their own financial support through partnerships with individuals and churches.

The organization's technology footprint is minimal: operations rely on standard web-based donor management, Zoom for language classes, and GivingFuel/webconnex giving platforms, with no proprietary technology platforms or AI capabilities. DTN is accredited by the Evangelical Council for Financial Accountability (ECFA), maintains PCI DSS compliance for donation processing, and operates on a 5% administrative fee structure that channels the majority of donor contributions directly to missionary support.

DTN's revenue model is entirely contribution-based, with no fees charged to missionaries and only one priced service line (Spanish language classes at $12/hour, with a $25 application fee). Customer segments are local churches (partner/sending), missionaries and church planters (primary beneficiaries), and Spanish language learners (secondary). The go-to-market combines church partnership development, direct donor cultivation through the website and social media, and the annual conference as a major community-building event. Leadership is led by President/CEO Dustin Meadows, with regional leaders for Latin America (Jimmy and Heather Winfrey), MENA (Scotty and Emily Mena), and a broader team of ministry coordinators spanning Bible translation, theological education, language resources, and special projects.
