The Church is hungry for answers to these problems. We are convinced that God has raised the Disciple Nations Alliance to address this hunger. Since its inception in 1997, the Disciple Nations Alliance has been used by God to give fresh hope and vision to thousands of Christian congregations in more than 40 nations: Hope rooted in God’s ancient promise to Abraham that all nations will be blessed through his offspring (Gen. 12:1-3). Vision brought to life as the church sees itself as God’s primary solution to the brokenness of their nations. God loves all nations, and today, He is awakening His Bride to her central and strategic mission of bring comprehensive healing to the nations (Col. 1:19-20).
The Disciple Nations Alliance “school of thought” presents a Biblical worldview as the key to cultural renovation. Our training programs provide churches with practical, replicable tools that enable them to begin the healing and transformational process in their own communities using existing resources. Not surprisingly, churches that have put Disciple Nations Alliance training into practice consistently experience a marked growth as people in their surrounding communities experience the power of God’s healing love in practical ways.

Well done DNA team. I’m very impressed with your blog. Not only a great looking site, but rich with great very thoughtful content. Fantastic!
Dear Folks
I am seeking assistance for a project that has started in DR Congo to teach young widows to read write and have some knitting and sewing skills to help become self supporting.
Do you have any such, or are you in a position to consider an application from them, for finance for their project.
An Anglican pastor Stephane Makata found 26,000 young single mothers during one of his evangelical missions and immediately started this project with some finance just from two retirees in Australia.
I am a missionary in Swaziland, Africa. I just want to say thank you so much for your book! I just finished reading it and learned a lot from it. It has really helped to refine my thinking and my ministry to the women here. It helped me to understand their worldview better and has enabled me to develop more robust Bible studies for them.
Most of all, it was a huge encouragement and confirmation that I am on the right track. Due to the extreme poverty and disease here (highest HIV/AIDS rate in the world), of necessity part of our ministry is being the hands and feet of Jesus. But I’ve always felt as though the bigger picture is to teach a better way–Jesus’ way. Continuing to help meet the physical and emotional needs is absolutely a must (James 1:29a, James 2:14-16) but the vital piece is teaching God’s Word to help them reframe their worldview to God’s wonderful Truth.
Side note–looks like you are from AZ. My husband is a native and we raised our kids in Ahwatukee. Three years ago, the Lord called us here–you could call us late-blooming missionaries for sure!
Blessings,
Kay West
Dear Kay
Thank you for your kind words about the book. Are you referring to Discipling Nations or to Nurturing the Nations? Either way, I am glad that it was helpful.
Yes, Phoenix metro area is our home. The DNA offices are in the Central Corridor. If you come back for furlough, come and visit us. We would love to meet you.
Our friend Dick Day has written a wonderful paper that we have posted on the DNA website. The paper is titled A Biblical Worldview Needed for the Prevention of HIV/AIDS. If you have not seen it, you can find it here: http://www.disciplenations.org/articles. Do you know the Days? They have worked for years in Malawi with those suffering from AIDS.
May the Lord bless you in your service among the poorest of the poor.

Wow, surprised and blessed with your prompt and personal response.
I’m so sorry–I should have mentioned that it was Discipling Nations that I read. Definitely want to read more, though!
No, we don’t know the Days, but thank you for the link to the article–VERY affirming to what we have been led to do here.
We would really enjoy visiting next time we are in the US. No worries, we are more than adequately blessed as far as funding–just interested in the exchange of ideas, especially as it applies to our beloved Swazis.
For His glory!
