MDI is currently on sabbatical. We are building on the innovative work of MDI to redesign the Anabaptist discipleship training to better serve you. Information about enrollment will be shared when available.

Training church leaders to develop a culture of discipleship

Effective disciple-making takes place through close relationships. The Missional Discipleship Initiative (MDI) strengthens congregations and their ministries through intentional, authentic, and relational disciple-making. This happens by implementing Missional Discipleship Groups (MDGs) and Learning Circles, or Huddles. 

Mennonite Mission Network is responding to the cry for help initially made by Racial/Ethnic congregations around the church who have called for resources to help them grow and train church leaders through intentional discipling in their home communities. 

Relational disciple-making isn't for the impatient. Although MDI's implementing process lasts eight months, the work of disciple-making takes years.
