Two Kinds of Groups
To launch a disciple making movement, two kinds of groups are needed — 1 for believers and 1 for seekers. In both fellowships the Holy Spirit develops the disciplines and DNA to become a team of disciple makers.

Seeing Is Believing
Can Jesus multiply disciples as He did in the 1st century? When we hear about Disciple-Making Movements overseas, we ask: “What does it look like? Can it happen here?” If you gotta see it to believe it, now you can in a documentary called Love One Another.
Recipe for Transformation – DMM log #5
To ask, “What is the content of a Discovery Bible Study?” is like asking for the ingredients of a favorite dish. But DBS isn’t so much a recipe as a “school of culinary arts” where the Holy Spirit transforms us into disciples with the DNA to prepare more disciples
Landslides and Bridges
My efforts to make disciples who gladly make more disciples seemed to be limping along, until I encountered three surprises on a bike trail blocked by a sign warning: LANDSLIDE – DANGER – NO ENTRY!
Path of Questions
The word “discovery” appears in the title of several Bible study methods. What makes Discovery Bible Study different from other approaches? A pathway of distinctive questions guides seekers into a vibrant relationship with Jesus. You can review them in “Path of Questions.”
Fellow Disciples and Resources
Want to make disciples who make more disciples? Believers actively involved in Disciple-Making Movements share their experiences and insights in many helpful resources. Sample this list of useful sources.
Walking with the Disciple Maker
Is making disciples as simple as checkers or as complex as chess? Actually, the way Jesus makes disciples is more intricate than Star-Trek 3D chess. Yet a brainy IQ is not required to play, only the faith of a child. Want to learn how?
Find Your Person of Peace
Jesus, the Disciple Maker, tells His disciples to look for “a person of peace.” This is not looking for a needle in a haystack, for God is already preparing individuals to receive the Good News. Learn how you can find and cultivate a person of peace.
Discovery Bible Study in Your Home
Parents pass faith in Jesus to their children. While the Church weakens in the West, elsewhere Discovery Bible Study (DBS) is helping millions to follow Christ. Could DBS ignite living faith in your home? Consider how DBS differs from typical family devotions.
Sheep Among Wolves
Is Discovery Bible Study successful due to less opposition where it is used? Consider this — 1. Today which nation’s government is most adamantly committed to wiping Christians off the face of the earth? 2. Which nation has the fastest growing number of new disciples? IT IS THE SAME NATION!
What about Follow-up?
When we employ the twin methods of Disciple Making Movements and Discovery Bible Study (DMM-DBS) as our evangelism strategy, an additional follow-up plan is not necessary. DMM-DBS accomplishes both quantitative growth (making new disciples) and qualitative growth (teaching them to obey what Jesus commanded). The methods of Jesus the Disciple Maker are brilliant!
Like Wildfire
How do Discovery Bible Study groups spread like wildfire and become Disciple Making Movements in which thousands and even millions follow Jesus? In the West, Bible study groups don’t proliferate like that. So, what are DBS groups doing differently?
