Discipleship Mobilisation Intensive
Eight weeks of training, not teaching. You learn a skill by doing it with other people beside you, then you go and do it with someone else.
One in a hundred Christians will make a disciple
Most of us have heard enough. Hearing gives you information; doing it, with reps and a training buddy, gives you a skill. DMI is built around that difference.

Be with Jesus. Become like Jesus. Do what Jesus does.
Three goals of a disciple, and the shape of the eight weeks.
Be with Jesus
Abiding, and what it actually looks like day to day — top ups and fill ups, the five stages from choosing other things to the mind of Christ.
Become like Jesus
Training rather than trying: doing what you can do by direct effort, so you can do what you cannot by direct effort.
Do what Jesus does
The pattern of Luke 10 — go two by two, pray, heal the sick, proclaim the kingdom, and look for the person of peace.
Eight weeks, in order
Each week has a session, something to practise before the next one, and a training buddy who is doing the same.
- 01
Teaching vs training
Information or skill. Why reps and a training buddy change what you keep.
- 02
Eternal perspective
Ecclesiastes 3:11. How much of your life is complete, and how much eternity factors into what you do next.
- 03
Christian and disciple
Luke 14:25-27. The crowd admires Jesus; a disciple follows Him and pays the cost.
- 04
Why abide
John 15:4-5. Answered prayer, fruit, inner peace, joy, imitating Christ, no fear, grace over sin.
- 05
Mission trip
You go. Everything from the first four weeks gets used on real people in a real place.
- 06
Training vs trying
Luke 6:40 and Matthew 7:24. Becoming more loving as something you train for, not something you strain at.
- 07
Person of peace
Luke 10:1-9. Stay rather than invite, integration wins the house, and why we invest in the few.
- 08
Rule of life
Living with intention. GRIP — giving, rest, integration, prayer — so this lasts past week eight.
What eight weeks looks like
Model. Assist. Watch. Launch.
The pattern scripture gives us for raising leaders. We do not hand you notes and hope.
- MModel
We do it first, in front of you.
- AAssist
You do it, we help and give feedback.
- WWatch
You do it, we watch and coach.
- LLaunch
You lead it in its entirety, and train someone else.
