Awesome effort to build up the body even while in quarantine!

“Sunday nights from March 22 – May 24, 2020. Meet in community with others to learn how to make and multiply disciples using the online, web-driven tool known as Zúme. (Zúme is the Greek word for yeast. By using Zúme, you can impact others just like a little yeast affects a whole loaf of bread!) Already trained in DMM principles and strategies? That’s great. You can help lead one of the “Zoom rooms” for subgroups of 4 people. Curious how your DMM training can be utilized in an online environment, maybe because folks in your context have recently been asked to avoid in-person meetings? This is the opportunity for you to experiment so you can “replicate and multiply” what you learn. “

Just sign up below to receive more info. Joining Doug Lucas in hosting this series will be Eric Derry (Team Expansion), Shawn Walden (Shepherd Church) and several other trainers. We hope to see you there!

New bible reading plan on hope regarding the COVID19 pandemic.

These are unprecedented times for those of us who are alive on planet earth at this moment. Historically, we can find hope if we turn to the One who made it all and is Lord of all. What does the Bible say about why these things happen, what is God’s response to it, and what is my hope in life and death?

Responding to the COVID-19 pandemic, we have published a first step guide to hosting a “home church” based on the 3/3 meeting pattern. See the article “How to have church at home“.

We’re thankful for the churches that have taken this and have began adapting it to their congregations! Our network of coaches are happy to help, if your church is one of them.

We just launched the full “Multiplication Concepts” series by Curtis Sergeant. These 28 concepts have been foundational to a number of successful movements. Explore this series.

We want to recommend “The Only One: Living Fully In, By, and For God” by Curtis Sergeant to the Zúme community and the wider movement family.

You can get it free as an ebook or order a print version from missionbooks.org.

This book is the result of a master trainer, who has coached and served some of the largest movements in the world for more than 25 years. In this book you hear the heart and priorities of a unique leader in the field of disciple making and church planting movements.

Zúme launched Valentine’s day, February 14, 2017. We’re 3 years old! Time to celebrate what God has done!

Zúme is no more than a band of brothers and sisters being transformed by God through loving God and loving others, aspiring to lives that are marked by immediate, radical, costly, obedience to Jesus. We have no buildings, no budgets, no staff, no programs. AND YET God has provided people with passion and commitment, funds when we have needed them, and hundreds of training facilities in living rooms and churches around the world for training disciples to be disciples who make disciples. Who can do this but God?
