Discipleship
Three programs for developing multi-generational disciplemakers.
DMM develops disciplemakers who yield other disciplemakers through three integrated programs — in prisons, in churches, and with individuals. Each reinforces the others; together they create a multiplication ecosystem.
The Model That Multiplies
A 12-week journey, walked one-on-one.
Built on 2 Timothy 2:2, the Paul/Timothy model uses DMM's Fruit That Won't Spoil and CBMC's proven 50-year Operation Timothy curriculum. Mature believers invest in others through Scripture, prayer, accountability, and shared life.
Through a 12-week process, Timothys become Pauls — launching an unending chain of multiplication. The program is offered to individuals, small groups, local churches, and inside Walker State Prison and Lee State Prison.

Fruit That Won't Spoil
Plant. Water. Grow. Release.
The reproducible pattern at the heart of every disciplemaking relationship — the way fruit is borne that remains (John 15:16).
Plant
Lead someone to faith in Christ and open the Word together.
Water
Walk together one-on-one, week after week, in honest relationship.
Grow
Equip them with the tools to disciple another person themselves.
Release
Commission them as a Paul, sending them to make Pauls of their own.
Program One
Prison Development
Prisons concentrate both need and opportunity. A single discipled person can influence a dorm, a work detail, a unit, and eventually a family and neighborhood after release. When discipleship is designed to reproduce, the impact multiplies exponentially.
- Establishes Paul/Timothy relationships through consistent presence inside prison walls
- Uses the proven Operation Timothy curriculum for Scripture-based formation
- Commissions Timothys as Pauls through a structured 12-week process
- Creates networks that follow people as they transfer or return home
- Extends discipleship to family members outside the walls
89–90 commissioned Paul teams at Walker State Prison. Disciplemakers transferred to 16 other Georgia prisons carrying the process. Presence now extending to Lee State Prison in Leesburg, GA.
Program Two
Church Development
Many people return to church seeking spiritual growth and find programming without discipleship. Others sit in pews for years without ever being trained to make disciples. DMM partners with local churches to establish cultures of life-on-life discipleship.
- Trains church leaders in reproducible disciplemaking methods
- Provides resources and curriculum for Paul/Timothy relationships
- Creates pathways for returning citizens to connect with discipling communities
- Helps churches build cultures where discipleship is expected, not optional
51 churches in the Chattanooga area with an active presence — and a bridge for released citizens connecting with healthy church communities.
Program Three
Individual Development
Every disciple is an individual first. DMM equips marketplace leaders, community members, and everyday believers to become spiritual mentors who invest in the next generation.
- One-on-one Paul/Timothy relationships built on trust, accountability, and Scripture
- Operation Timothy curriculum addressing life's deepest questions through biblical truth
- Training in how to reproduce — every Timothy is expected to become a Paul
- Commissioning events celebrating multiplication and sending
400–500 commissioned disciplemakers, most with multiple Timothys of their own — carrying the process to cities, states, and countries around the world.
The Training Manual
“Fruit That Won't Spoil”
Roger Erickson's book is the backbone of the program — a practical training manual equipping men and women with the intangible tools necessary to be effective in fulfilling the Great Commission. It distills a lifetime of spiritual reproduction, taught in 53 countries, into a path anyone can follow.
