Wholistic Disciple Making
Explore proven wholistic models that empower communities to thrive and disciples to multiply
Wholistic Disciple Making (WDM) combines key elements of tried and tested mission strategies to live out the gospel, multiply disciples and display the Kingdom of God to a desperate world.
It is a multi-faceted mission strategy using effective tools like Community Health Evangelism (CHE), Integral Disciple Making (IDM), Samaritan strategy (Harvestfoundation.org), CoramDeo (Worldview and the Kingdom of God) and decades of real-life experience from trainers to engage communities physically, spiritually, mentally and socially with the Good News.
With faith and identity in Christ as the springboard for whole life and whole community change, transformation takes place as disciples multiply and live out their faith. Come hear stories, participate and learn from those who have used these principles in their ministries around the world.
This is much broader than standard classroom instruction. It is facilitated learning from the life and ministry experience already in the group, it means using different teaching formats for different learning styles, it involves discovering new ways to engage communities, it is going outdoors to work in a garden, it uses role-playing to better grasp problems, it includes active instruction using all 5 senses. Come be a part and “work out your faith” with a good stretch – as a disciple who will make more disciples!
