Personal Digital Disciple-Making Fellowship

Nearly 500 teams around the world have developed a digital outreach that finds people seeking spiritual answers online and walks with them all the way to becoming disciples who make disciples. It works. But until now, this strategy has required a team to pull off.

What if you could do it on your own?

The Personal Digital Disciple-Making Fellowship is a selective, two-month practitioner fellowship for missional Christians designing and testing their own digital disciple-making strategy. It will run from September 24 to November 19, 2026. 

What You’ll Get From This Fellowship

  • A clear sense of your personal mission and exactly how digital disciple-making fits into it.
  • A simple disciple-making approach based on a friendship with Jesus.
  • A personalized roadmap — with mentors alongside you — to launch or sharpen your approach, so you finish the course with a sustainable strategy you can actually use.
  • Access to best-practice resources from thought leaders around the world.
  • A global cohort of like-minded peers and veteran instructors who will push you forward.

Is this fellowship for me?

This fellowship is for any missional believer who…

  • wants to reach people digitally but doesn’t have — or doesn’t need — a full team behind them.
  • has a digital outreach in place, but wants to help people follow Jesus and teach others to do the same.
  • wants to teach others how to develop their own outreach.
What are the fellowship requirements?
  • A hunger to grow — and develop your personal digital disciple-making efforts.
  • A social media presence with at least 100 friends, followers, or subscribers.
  • Commitment and availability to participate live in six or more of the eight course dates (we will allow for two absences which can be made up by listening to the recording).
  • Available to invest up to two hours each week for the assignments in addition to the live, one-hour sessions (a three-hour per week commitment).
Can I earn a credential?

Yes, if you attend six or more of the live sessions (and watch the recordings if you miss any sessions) and develop and implement your own digital disciple-making strategy, you will earn an MMU Personal Digital Disciple-Making Fellow Credential.
