A Global Discipleship Encounter

A global call to deepen devotion, ignite mission, and encounter God together—across nations, cultures, and communities.

WELCOME TO GLOBAL DISCIPLESHIP

We are pleased that you are interested in joining our Global Discipleship network! Our primary goal is to help equip you for ministry as a leader in the church (Ephesians 4), strengthening you in your calling and bringing glory to God. No matter how long you have been a Christian or in service to Christ, we all benefit from growing in Christ together.

PROGRAM PRINCIPLES

The road of discipleship is a path of relationship:

Read our vision and belief statements.
Fill out the application form below.
Attend ZOOM or in-person meetings once you are welcomed into the program.
Attend a local Bible study fellowship or begin one when God’s leads you down that path.
Build connections with other Christians and local ministers, especially any identified by King on a Hill Ministries.
Send us the contact information for local ministers who know you. They will serve as references.
Share social media information so that we can connect. It is recommended that social media focus first on the message of the Kingdom and second on needs. Jesus said to “Seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you” (Matthew 6:33).
Invite us to participate in/view your church, Bible study, or leadership meetings.
Please do not request financial support until you have actively participated for six months in the discipleship network. Our main focus is to help support ministry needs, rather than personal needs. If you would like to fill out a request for ministry needs, then please send a detailed request through our Contact Us page or discuss matters with your regional discipleship coordinator. We cannot guarantee that we will be able to provide financial assistance in your circumstances.

CERTIFICATES and ADMINISTRATION

After faithfully attending and actively participating in discipleship meetings for several months, a certificate of recognition can be provided by King on a Hill Ministries. As you complete more and more training, additional certificates can be issued.

The overall discipleship coordinator is Apostle Edgar Love from Uganda, who also oversees the coordination of discipleship in Africa, and the national/regional leadership team also consists of Apostle Mukesh George and Pastor Ranjana of India, Pastor Mulayam Kumar of Uttar Pradesh, India, as well as Evangelist Rishayal John of Pakistan. Please fill out the form below to begin the process of joining the program, and someone from the ministry will be in touch. As you participate in the program, please stay in touch with your area coordinator for fellowship and guidance.

Thank you for your interest in the Go Global Discipleship program. And if you are from an area outside our current network, we look forward to connecting with more regions as the Lord opens doors.

Transitional Layers of Discipleship

We are all in a process of growing in Christ. An individual may find themselves along the following trajectory from being equipped in ministry to being established in service to being experienced in leading others. Our aim is to build networks of individuals in each of these areas, but there will be times when people from various layers will participate in meetings together.

Equipping

At this stage, the individual is either new to the faith or at the beginning of their ministerial awaking. They will benefit from foundational Christian teaching and mentorship to assist in building character, a sound understanding of the Gospel, and knowledge of spiritual giftings.

Establishing

At this point, the individual is stepping out into ministry or is in the early years of exercising their spiritual gifts. They have an understanding of their calling, but will benefit from continued mentorship, deeper theological teachings, accountability, and ministerial training.

Experienced

At this time, the individual has spent years in ministry, having stepped into leadership roles in the church. They have gained wisdom and knowledge for advancing the Kingdom, and are ready to participate in training and mentoring others at the equipping and establishing stages. They still benefit from a fellowship network of like-minded peers, and theological accountability.

Financial Models for Network Members to Consider

God may call you to one of these, even for a season:

Jesus and Early Disciples – The Model of Vocational Laborer to Full-Time Ministry Worker

Because Jesus was raised by Joseph, a carpenter (Matthew 13:55), we can assume that He was also trained in construction and worked for more than a decade in Nazareth before starting His earthly ministry. Jesus then became an itinerant (travelling) minister without a home (Matthew 8:20) or regular income. Some women joined Jesus during His ministry in Galilee to help care for him (Mark 15:41). We also know that He lodged with people like Mary, Martha, and Lazarus (Luke 10:38). The disciples carried a money purse, which likely contained funds from donations (John 12:6). Also, people provided necessary items voluntarily like the Upper Room or the donkey for Palm Sunday (Matthew 21:1-3).

Jesus’ disciples followed the above model as well, going from workers (fishermen, tax collector, etc.) to travelling ministers with Christ. Once Jesus sent them out and did not allow them to bring provisions. Instead, they were to receive from the people they visited and to learn about God’s provisions (Luke 9:1-5). Even after His resurrection, Peter and John did not have any personal funds (Acts 3:6).

The Early Church in Jerusalem – The Model of the Communal Church

The very early Jerusalem church practiced communal living and shared resources, in which people sold their private property and the apostles oversaw the collected finances (Acts 4:32-37).

Paul and Companions – The Model of the Tentmaker (Vocational Laborer and Church Minister at the Same Time)

Paul worked as a tentmaker to look after his own financial requirements, as well as those of his ministry partners. Others on his ministry team did physical labor as well. He taught the church in Thessaloniki that people who are able to work should do so and not take advantage of others (Acts 18:3; 20:34-35; 1 Corinthians 4:12; 2 Thessalonians 3:6-15; see also 1 Thessalonians 4:11; Ephesians 4:28).

Paul also received church donations at least when in prison and unable to work (Philippians 4:10), but he also received the support of others while free and travelling on the road to minister, such as staying in Lydia’s house (Acts 16:15) or Jason’s (Acts 17:5).

Paul encouraged some to work in order to have resources to give to others who were in need (Ephesians 4:28). And while we do not know about every church context in terms of how they operated financially, we know that the wider church supported the needs of other believers, such as sending resources to assist Judean believers due to a famine (Acts 11:27-30; see also the example of 2 Corinthians 8-9).

Guidance:

Seek the Lord’s Wisdom

All work should be ministry to God, regardless of context (Colossians 3).
God may have you walk in different models during your time in Kingdom work
God may not call you to full-time church ministry until there is a community of people who will support you (for example, Jesus and His disciples labored for resources prior to transitioning from vocational laborers to full-time church ministry workers.
Be willing to labor for funds if needed.
