Making Disciples of All Nations

Living Out the Great Commission
When Jesus gave the great commission, all nations were included.

Our vision has been to respond to the Great Commission’s call to make disciples of all nations. We have the privilege of coming alongside leaders around the world in their mission of making disciples who make disciples.

When an international partner invites us to host a discipleship conference in their country, we customize our training to focus on the primary needs of those attending, but most of our training pertains to discipleship, Biblical manhood/womanhood, and spiritual formation.

Downline training events have taught me to look for faithful young women with whom I must invest time and duplicate. It has also allowed leaders to be able to receive direction through the teachings on the discipleship of Christ.

The teams that have come to Ethiopia have helped fan into flame a greater discipleship-minded culture within our ministry, as we seek to make reproducing followers of Christ in East Africa that will reach to the ends of the earth.

Since 2006, we've trained disciple-makers in over 40 countries around the world.

Wroclaw Institute

Downline helps train and equip international leaders to establish discipleship training initiatives in their local context.

One of those leaders is Wojciech Kowalewski, who leads the School of Biblical Discipleship in Wroclaw, Poland. Each student receives over 130 hours of Biblical, practical, and reproducible training from over 30 respected local pastors and leaders.
