Developing Workers Global exists to fulfill the Great Commission to make disciples, and in order for discipleship to flourish, new disciples ought to also make disciples.

Being Fully Seen: A Testimony
Pastors and other ministry leaders are continually pouring themselves out to others in their community, but few have someone regularly coaching and building them up as they strive to disciple others.

[…]
