As you go, make disciples.
Making disciples who make disciplemakers.
A discipleship ministry answering the Great Commission — one Paul, one Timothy, one life at a time, until the fruit multiplies for generations.
Our Mission
Investing deeply in the next generation of disciplemakers.
Through one-on-one Paul/Timothy relationships, our network leads people to Christ and grows together — long-term relationships that change lives and carry an eternal impact. We do this through intentional discipleship, local events, and ministry in churches, prisons, and the marketplace.
“And the things that thou hast heard of me… the same commit thou to faithful men, who shall be able to teach others also.”
2 Timothy 2:2Try it yourself
See what one life can set in motion.
Step into a role, watch thirty-three years go by, and then find your own place in the chain.

- 1 · The role
- 2 · The break
- 3 · Your chain
Two faithful callings. Step into one and see its reach.
Choose a role and watch 33 years of faithfulness go by in about twelve seconds.
This is arithmetic, not a forecast, and it is no contest between the two. The church needs both, and somebody has to reach the first one. The math only works if every single person keeps going. That is the catch.
Here are the first six years: 64 people. Tap one and let them quit.
Each line is one person investing in another. The first disciplemaker is at the center.
Tap any dot. Tap it again to put them back.
Someone did not quit on you.
Three first names. They stay on your device and are never sent anywhere.
“What you have heard from me in the presence of many witnesses entrust to faithful men, who will be able to teach others also.”2 Timothy 2:2 · ESV
Paul fits four generations into one sentence: himself, Timothy, faithful men, others also. Yours is on the card.

Three Programs, One Mission
Developing multi-generational disciplemakers.
DMM develops disciplemakers who yield other disciplemakers through three integrated programs. Each reinforces the others — together they create a multiplication ecosystem.
Prison Development
Establishing Paul/Timothy relationships behind the walls — raising up disciplemakers who carry the process with them as they transfer and return home.
Church Development
Partnering with local churches to build cultures of life-on-life discipleship that are expected, reproducible, and lasting.
Individual Development
Equipping marketplace leaders and everyday believers one-on-one — every Timothy expected to become a Paul.
Becoming a DiscipleMaker
What are you doing this week that will impact eternity?
Roger Erickson, the founder of DMM, was forever changed when a faithful believer discipled him for over a year. He realized his calling and built an intentional lifestyle of making disciplemakers. Thanks to that legacy, there are new disciples around the world.
We equip people to become Pauls — mentors and spiritual guides to Timothys. Through a 12-week process, those Timothys are mentored, then commissioned to become Pauls themselves. The multiplication continues, and countless lives are changed by Christ.
