After years of personal encouragement, Dann Spader agreed to write and publish (exclusively through discipleship.org) this eBook on Disciple Making Metrics.

All of these international ministries are involved in advancing the training and values of the Son’s life — many of them have grown out of Sonlife Ministries in North America. GYI is currently in 116 different countries, with a vision of multiplying 100,000 disciple makers by 2020.
