Core offering

Dynamic Churches International provides reproducible disciple-making training programs, curricula, and seminars to churches, pastors, and missionaries worldwide. The organization delivers three interconnected methodologies — One-to-One Discipleship, the Life Group Disciple Making Model, and the Spontaneous Disciple Making Model — through workbooks, workshops, coaching, and conferences across 30 countries. All materials are provided free of charge, with the ministry funded through tax-deductible donations.

Product overview

DYNAMIC CHURCHES INTERNATIONAL offers a unified disciple-making ecosystem with three interconnected approaches: One-to-One Discipleship (individual mentoring using Dynamic Basics booklets), the Life Group Disciple Making Model (structured small group reproduction with multiple training tiers from apprentice to coach level), and the Spontaneous Disciple Making Model (community-based Discovery Groups for outreach). Supporting materials include the Ultimate Purpose seminar workbook and specialized resources like the 'Jesus as My Life' curriculum. All materials are available in 34 languages. The organization has been exploring mobile app development to expand digital access to their training content.

Direct peers

• Youth With A Mission (YWAM): Global interdenominational Christian mission organization that trains and sends missionaries worldwide. Directly comparable to DCI in focus on disciple-making, training-of-trainers methodology, and presence across dozens of countries.
• Campus Crusade for Christ (Cru): Large interdenominational missions organization with global disciple-making and church-planting programs. Comparable to DCI in mission footprint, training-curriculum approach, and donor-funded operating model.
• The Navigators: International Christian ministry known for its 1-to-1 discipleship model and multiplication philosophy. Highly comparable to DCI's One-to-One Discipleship and Life Group methodologies and the same emphasis on reproducible, disciple-making disciples.
• Christar: Mission agency that plants churches among least-reached peoples, emphasizing reproducible disciple-making movements. Closely similar to DCI in theology, methodology, and operating geography (Africa, Asia, Middle East).
• Frontiers: Mission agency that catalyzes disciple-making movements among Muslim and other least-reached peoples. Strong methodological overlap with DCI's Spontaneous Disciple Making Model and Discovery Group approach.
• SEND International: International missionary organization that trains and sends church planters, with a focus on reproducing disciple-making movements. Similar to DCI in scale, training-of-trainers structure, and global church multiplication outcomes.
• Greater Europe Mission: Mission agency that plants churches and trains disciples across Europe. Comparable to DCI in disciple-making methodology and church-multiplication outcomes, though primarily focused on a different region.
• Pioneers: Missionary-sending organization focused on church planting among unreached people groups. Comparable to DCI in training-based, multiplication philosophy and reliance on a global network of national partners.
• InterVarsity Christian Fellowship: Interdenominational Christian ministry that trains leaders and disciples on campuses and beyond. Comparable to DCI in training-led disciple-making mission and donor-supported structure.

Regional players

• Wycliffe Global Alliance: Global alliance translating Scripture into local languages. Operates in many of the same countries as DCI and shares the multilingual, locally-embedded operating model, but the core product (Bible translation) is different.
