Providing Training & Resources in Discipleship & Evangelism Globally

According to research, churches in America are not gaining and retaining new converts. Church membership is declining, giving is decreasing, politics are dividing believers, and the Millennial Generation (the largest generation in the history of the United States, with a population of over 80 million), are leaving the church. In addition to this, our culture is turning hostile toward us! In our day and age of electronic communication, intimate-personal relationship is declining. We are obsessed with technology and it is causing us to be less connected. The Millennial Generation is torn between hiding behind ‘social media’ and silently longing for connection and deep relationships. Relational discipleship addresses this desperate need. This is the same radical approach Jesus used in addressing the masses and changing hearts through relational discipleship and personal evangelism training, so that believers can become the “salt of the earth” and the “light of the world” (Matthew 5:13-14).

We at STRIDE International provide simple training and resources in discipleship and evangelism. Our goal is to help believers grow to become fully devoted followers of Christ (disciples) who reproduce themselves in others (disciple-makers), and reach the world for Jesus Christ (evangelism). By adopting Jesus’ simple disciple-making process all believers can become fully devoted followers of Christ. We facilitate this through seminars where participants will learn the following: why discipleship is important in the 21st century; what discipleship is all about; and how all believers can engage in the process of disciple-making. The study will also examine the relationship of suffering and discipleship for spiritual growth in the life and ministry of the believer. Our seminars include evangelism training – what it takes to make a clear presentation of the gospel, and how to engage our hostile culture.
