M28 Global Discipleship Training is for those who wish to reach international students, or anyone else, and to equip them to be disciple-makers in their cultures (or wherever God sends them). Our vision is to see nations transformed by multiplying life-changing communities in every dimension of society — using the M28 Global Discipleship approach. We invite you to join us in this extraordinary global-impact mission.
The M28 Global Discipleship Training is an introductory training designed to help you reach others with the love and message of Jesus Christ, introduce them to faith in Christ, and help them to be disciple-makers also.

- Heart of M28 -
|
At the heart of M28 are three essential components:
Fervent Prayer, God's Word, and the Holy Spirit. Fervent Prayer
God's Word
The Holy Spirit
M28 Global Discipleship is not about a program, but a lifestyle. Although we recognize there is a progression in the spiritual formation of every disciple's life, the following dimensions are to be continuously present in the disciple-maker's life. That is why we regard the M28 disciple-making approach as a lifestyle, not a program. In fact, we have found that if it is not imprinted and reproduced as a lifestyle, it will not lead to a disciple-making movement.
