CHURCH DISCIPLESHIP MINISTRY

In 1985, the Philippine Navigators inaugurated the Discipleship Training Institute (DTI) now called Church Discipleship Ministry (CDM), a ministry that focuses exclusively on assisting pastors and churches to equip their people to bring in the harvest and to function as lay shepherds.

The CDM seeks to help Church-leaders grow both in character and competence. The CDM aims to help leaders grow in both areas. The CDM seeks to:

Raise up workers who are disciple-makers. We aim to multiply the number of pastors and lay leaders committed and equipped to make disciples.

Establish a network of pastors and lay workers committed to disciplemaking. It is difficult to persevere in the ministry of disciplemaking without an encouragement of like-minded colaborers. A network of pastor and lay leaders who learn from and encourage one another is a big help.

Facilitate the discipling movement in our country. We want to contribute to what the Spirit is doing in our country by sharing with churches what we have learned from long experience in small-group and one-on-one disciplemaking, and adapt those principles to their unique church context.
