A recent 10-week Zume training started online using the Zoom video conferencing platform. More than 35 disciples joined the training from the Philippines, Thailand, India, Germany, France, South Africa, Kenya, Uganda, Ghana, Zambia, Ethiopia, New York, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Kentucky, Washington, California, and Texas.

One of the disciple makers attending the training from Ethiopia, 6 weeks into the training, sought and received permission to train 40 church pastors using Zume!

A Zúme practitioner recently shared with his coach progress among the people he serves in Southern Asia. He trained 51 people across 2 countries in Zúme practices and skills. So far these training efforts resulted in six fruitful and active implementers whom the Zúme practitioner coaches.  These six implementers are spreading to various villages to bring good news of the Kingdom. With the COVID lockdown still in place, these people are going to families in need of food.  They report back about the families they are helping and bringing the Gospel of Grace to. The Zúme practitioner said, “As you would expect, these are hard times but God is using it for His glory and He has given us a clear message that we need to equip and prepare His army using Zoom now.”

Zach Leighton, host of The Ministry Growth Show, invited lead team member, global dispatcher, and coach Eric Derry to share about Zúme on his podcast. You can listen to it here.

Zúme coaches serve disciple makers all over the world through training, sharing resources, and providing coaching towards multiplication of disciples that make disciples.

One of our Zúme coaches works with someone on a Caribbean island. She has been training people in prayer walking.

Her coach introduced her to the Zúme page on prayer walking in order to use it to prepare people she was about to train and to review with people she had already trained.

Just 24 hours later after receiving the training from her coach, one hundred people had already been exposed to the material in several generations of sharing it.

God continues to grow a heart among His people to pray for a disciple making movement in their state. Pray4NorthCarolina is the latest website to launch. You can sign up and begin praying for North Carolina.

If you desire to catalyze a prayer effort for where you live, connect with us and we can show you what we have learned. We’ve published a starting template at https://pray4movement.org

550 key leaders, in an Asian country, went through Zume together. Each of these 550 leaders represent entire networks of disciples and churches. Even if only a fraction of these leaders take the training back to their networks, the impact could be exponential. We pray this training would be a blessing and a resource for multitudes of disciple makers in all of the current 37 finished languages.

A Zúme coach shared an exciting update from someone he coaches in East Africa. The Zúme coach meets up with this brother several times a week. The brother reported 30 were baptized into Christ last Saturday. A number more came to Christ in the past few days among several different villages. This brother has traveled more than 100 kilometers from home to work in the abundant harvest fields Jesus promised to His followers.

A Zúme practitioner in Rwanda reports things are,

“…going very well by God’s grace. We now have been blessed to reach two areas in the northern and eastern provinces of Rwanda. We started small groups for Bible study and sharing testimonies. We also have been blessed to reach a refugee camp in Uganda where more than 21 people have been baptized and a church was planted.”

A recent testimony from a brother in Christ in his own words, “Hi, grace and peace. Passing here to record a very special experience I had with the Lord in relation to Zume. A few days ago I was looking for a direction from the Lord for my life, I had been looking for weeks and the Lord showed me in a dream (I was between sleeping and awake) me going on Google and searching for Zume. As soon as I woke up I put it on Google and found you and started discipleship with my wife and our oldest daughter (even our 3 young children are participating too). I am very grateful to the Lord for this and for your life. May God bless you in everything in the Name of Jesus.”
