All In Ministries: Healthy Short-Term Missions — Equip Women to Disciple Women Across Cultures
Pastors/Leaders: You can more wisely steward your short-term missions (STM) to make a long-term impact with one addition: disciple indigenous women. Worldwide women believers do not know they are loved, valued, or have a divine purpose of enjoying God and exalting Him by making disciples. When you intentionally invest in local women—they are radically and fundamentally changed. They’ll risk their lives to spread the gospel to their families, communities, and closed spaces. That’s because women are "keepers of religion" in many cultures—yet few people invest in women. You’ll learn how to equip spiritually mature women from your local church to join your short-term mission team with a proven training curriculum (free for track attendees). For 10+ years, we've worked with missionaries and church leaders in 18 countries, equipped nearly 10,000, and created a Spirit-led, biblical, simple, reproducible training curriculum for discipling women across cultures. It’s not complicated or costly to add this ministry to your STM—women can train women under the shade of a mango tree. Give them a Bible, our curriculum, and a translator, and let’s change the world one woman at a time. (Win our track giveaway: award-winning new disciple-making Bible study, Your True Story.)
