Global Discipleship Network (GDN) is a registered 501(c)3 organization committed to serving the poor and marginalized. We believe that by empowering a network of dedicated pastors and leaders with strategic support, we can bring relief to the suffering and transform communities. Over the past 35 years, we have witnessed thousands of lives impacted through our efforts.
Some highlights of our work include:
- During the COVID-19 pandemic, we provided critical assistance to hundreds of pastors, enabling them to support their communities facing severe food shortages.
- Widows have received life-changing medical care, vocational training in sewing, and quality sewing machines to sustain their livelihoods.
- Orphans have been cared for, and free education has been offered to children in slum neighborhoods.
- After natural disasters, including cyclones, we have delivered medical supplies, food, blankets, clothing, and building materials to affected areas.
- Freshwater bore wells have been successfully dug in regions where clean water is scarce, and water purification systems have been distributed in limited capacities.
- Thousands of discipleship books have been translated, supporting the growing reach of E-Squared (E2), while Bibles translated into native languages have been distributed to hundreds of new believers.
- Secondary School students have heard the Gospel both inside and outside of their school settings.
- After school discipleship classes and social gatherings are allowing students to learn about Christ in different environments.
Today, GDN is actively touching lives across 20 states in India and throughout Southeast Asia as well as in 10 Countries within the Continent of Africa.
Our greatest joy is witnessing the hope and encouragement that inspires thousands to embrace their calling as Disciple Makers.
Reaching and Teaching.
Last year, over 1400 pastors and lay leaders attended our two day seminars or one day workshops.
We host virtual and in person expository Bible studies each week .Our annual goal for each year is to see 2500 new people reached with this training and then engaged in a weekly Bible study group.
We are currently training and developing five new teaching pastors, so that the ministry may advance its territory and scope of reach.
We have recently deployed our first order of discipleship training materials to Kenya, Africa and are looking forward to holding our first training workshops this Summer.
Through our school programs we reach a combined 525,000 youth each and every week across the 16 countries that we serve in. After hearing the Gospel, any students who accept Christ are entered into a three month discipleship program to grow deeper in their understanding of the Word and in their relationship with Christ. Many of our next generation of leaders and staff are coming out of these programs, and many are going on to enroll in Bible School and pursue Theological studies after graduation.
Go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of The Father, The Son, and The Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey all that I have commanded you.
Matthew 28:19-20
