We are a Global Multiplying Discipleship Ministry. We work with churches, pastors, and leaders all over the world who are relentlessly pursuing the great commission, particularly in the 10/40 window. We accomplish this in part by launching initiatives that remove obstacles that disciples face. We provide the tools and resources needed to help people transform their lives in the communities they serve. We meet needs and provide supplies to front line leaders in our poorer communities so that God's Kingdom can advance. The strategic vision of Be Mission Minded/ Natural Discipleship is to partner with likeminded people and local churches to love intimately and make multiplying disciples of Jesus Christ.
