2026 Disciple-Making Leaders (Foundational) Network

The aim of the Disciple-Making Leaders Network: Foundational Track is for each participant to develop biblical convictions about leadership and disciple-making, so that by the end of the Forum they understand their calling as leaders to build relationships that help God’s people become mature. A key component of this Network will be small group interaction, discussion, and time set apart for Q&A throughout the four days of the Forum, which will help deepen participants’ learning. The Network will also include lectures on key biblical material and discussion of practical examples. Participants will be encouraged to develop practical strategies for becoming more effective in disciple-making.

Applicants should be those involved in Christian leadership (at any level) who desire to develop maturity in the members of the body of Christ and are willing to grapple honestly with their responsibility to make disciples. Prior preparation will be set for all applicants.

What Network Participants Are Saying

• "I have a strong desire to help teen girls come to know Christ, but no one discipled me, so I don't have any experience in doing that. This Forum has been a huge blessing for me. The sessions are very relevant and helpful. It gave me the motivation to disciple teen girls. God put me in contact with the people who have done it for a while, and who have done it with success. Their experience gave me a vision of what to do and how to do it. I'd love to say a big, huge 'thank you!' I'm filled with passion and motivation and also with a vision to become a fisherman to win people for Christ. I also want to encourage other leaders in my church to do the same so that Jesus our Savior will be glorified throughout Georgia."

• "I am a pastor and many of the people in my church come from agnostic or Catholic backgrounds. They are first generation Christians and it takes time to disciple them and help them grow. The Forum is the highlight of the year for me. It is a time of spiritual refreshment and growth. God uses this week to work in me through the content of lectures and relationships with other participants. The Disciple-Making Leaders Network helps me to better understand and minister to those in my church." 
  - Adrian Strozek, Pastor, Poland
• "This year has been difficult for me and being at the Forum has really been a blessing. Being encouraged by other brothers and sisters, learning so much about God, and being provided with the tools to study the Word and make disciples have all been so helpful for me. The Forum’s Disciple-Making Leaders Network has encouraged me to go back home and keep serving in the local church. It has also helped me make connections with people from all over the world that will last a lifetime."
