The DMM training we’ve received from New Generations has given us practical, counterintuitive strategies to meet the needs of a community resulting in transformation of whole communities, not just individuals, because of the ways of Jesus. In just 18 short months we’ve been implementing New Generations’s training we have seen much fruit.

The world is quickly changing. Regrettably, our Western mission methods have not kept pace. Evangelists, Church Planters, and Disciple Makers from the Global South are ready and able to serve in places and among people that Western missionaries simply are unable to reach. This is what I love about New Generations: they are mobilizing Kingdom workers that would otherwise be sitting on the sidelines. Their work is organic. It is relationship driven. It is messy. It is working.

We believe God aims to accomplish His mission through His Church, but often it is difficult to find useful tools and training that actually empower the people of the local church to be part of making disciples of Jesus that become Jesus movements. At Grace, we’ve found the training and resources from New Generations not only practical, but also inspiring as we mobilize our congregation.

New Generations has contributed greatly in church planting among both unengaged and Muslim unreached people groups. CAPRO has invited New Generations to train not only our church planters in the strategy of DMM but also all CAPRO leaders. My prayer is that the global local Church leaders will be introduced to DMM in the days ahead that could accelerate the finishing of the task of Great Commission.

New Generations is taking to heart Jesus’ Commission to “teach them to obey all I have commanded,” putting a premium on discipleship that focuses on obedience and sharing how the Kingdom is impacting your world. The results are transformational—not just to individuals, but to entire communities, people groups, and nations. New Generations’ focus is not a new method or program, rather it is the core of being a follower of Jesus.

From a Vision 5:9 perspective, New Generations has been a strategic partner in Vision 5:9 to achieve our goal of multiplying churches among all Muslim peoples.

New Generations has been a strategic partner to help us achieve our goal of multiplying churches among all Muslim peoples.

New Generations has contributed to our understanding of mission and going beyond ourselves as we seek to fulfill the Great Commission. You have helped us in thinking about pioneering into nations with unreached people groups. In particular, the Discovery Bible Studies have been a tool for us in many places, both in the Western world, and in pioneer situations. It is such a simple dynamic, but has been used with great effect by many different people.

While many of us have not been satisfied with the results of our own ministries; New Generations did something to make a difference. They kept asking, “How can we improve? How can we do this better?” Thank you, New Generations! You helped us move from “what if” to “what is” in seeing movements of Muslims coming to faith in Jesus Christ our Lord.

The impact that New Generations has had on the world is impossible to fathom. By bringing clarity to the focus on making disciples who make disciples, by shining a crystal clear light on reproducible principles, and by articulating the vision in a super-unselfish way, New Generations has ignited a fire that is sweeping through organizations, churches, and unreached peoples worldwide. When you help New Generations, you’re helping a world full of other organizations which have benefited from their ministry.

What New Generations has accomplished from its beginnings to now has been quite impressive to me. It seems clear to me that the Lord has found them to be faithful stewards of the talents He has given to them, and has expanded their small beginnings, to becoming one of the most fruitful training and mentoring ministries focused on catalyzing movements of people to becoming obedient followers of our Lord Jesus Christ in this generation.

New Generations has led the way in adopting strategies that lead to movements.

Disciple Making Movements (DMM) are the only comprehensive set of strategies proven both in Scripture (see Acts 19:10 about reaching 15 million people), and today to reach people faster than population growth. New Generations has been a leading pioneer in the application of this strategy around the world.

Candidly, I do not know what would have happened or how we would have been able to gain early traction if it had not been for the prior and visionary work of New Generations.

New Generations has been one of the global leaders in catalyzing Disciple Making Movements.

The emergence of New Generations as a champion of church and disciple-making movements around the world has been one of the great breakthroughs in world evangelization of the past century.

New Generations has been a much valued mentor to World Missions and Evangelism, Inc, in our pursuit of the Disciple Making Movement strategy in Latin America. WME cannot overstate its debt and gratitude to New Generations. Simply stated, without the mentoring and help from New Generations, this Disciple Making Movement would not exist!

There was clear evidence of obedience based discipleship training in all nine of the people groups assessed (in Sierra Leone) through widespread use of The Discovery Bible Study methodology. This methodology does not only provide exposure to the gospel, but it provides a clear impact on faith, practice and behavior of those studying and obeying the Bible resulting in transformed believers consistent with evangelical faith and practice.

Through the ministry and encouragement of New Generations, Movement for African National Initiatives (MANI) has embraced the DMM strategy as an appropriate approach in response to the age-long crisis in church planting efforts among Africa’s unreached people groups, characterized by churches that are not rooted in biblical principles of disciple making.

New Generations has become a global leader in training churches, organizations and believers around the world to dream bigger, to pray more, and to engage in the beautiful yet arduous task of launching sustaining, reproducing movements of discipleship.

We’ve benefited beyond description from New Generations. Their help and partnership got us started and the result has been tens of thousands of people becoming committed followers of Jesus. The transformative effect has been extraordinary, both in the here-and-now and for eternity.
