Discipleship Essentials empowers church leaders and individuals in under-resourced countries to embody the hands and feet of Jesus and grow the Church. Through small group material, devotionals, videos and radio programs, DE grows faith within communities, reflecting the transformative love of Christ and enhancing one’s ability to inspire and lead others!

Through DE, our desire is to train church leaders and minister to future generations, offering biblical teaching and inspiring everyone to share their faith. In West Africa, the DE radio program does just this, providing spiritual nourishment from God’s Word and encouraging his people to share the message of hope with others. Here’s what some listeners of the Discipleship Essentials radio program in West Africa have recently shared:

“Hello servants of God. Discipleship Essentials is making me a disciple of the Lord Jesus. Before, I didn't understand many things about the Christian life, and I found it hard to live my Christian life properly in practice. But now I understand more easily what God wants me to do and be. I find it less difficult to apply it. Thank you for everything.”

“I listen to Discipleship Essentials, which helps me grow in my faith. I identify with the speaker who has the same concerns as I do. One day I decided to leave the church because of some of the things Christians were doing. Thanks to one of the programs I listened to, I avoided destroying myself because the message helped me understand that we are human beings whom God has called to model his image and that, being human, we make mistakes and can correct ourselves. Thank you very much because discovering these things does my soul a lot of good!”

“After listening to the program on developing a personal relationship with God, the Lord began to develop in me a different view of my fellow man. The program said that we should pray for our leaders, for example. When I stepped aside to ask God to help me have a relationship with him, I was led to pray for my spiritual leaders. And this prayer enabled me to see them differently. Indeed, there is a kind of love, a greater consideration, and the idea of supporting them was born in my heart. I found it a bit foreign at first, but I think it's good and something I'd like to develop. Thank you for your advice.”

“I was lucky enough to come to know and accept the Lord at a very young age, and I must admit that I don't regret that decision at all! Being a disciple of the Lord means accepting to be his hands and feet on this earth! You have decided to be his mouth! May God bless you, for you edify us and we are blessed!”
