A generation is walking away from the church because no one walked with them.
Young believers don't need another program. They need someone who will show up, listen, and stay. Could that be you?

The church has plenty of teachers, but it's desperate for fathers and mothers!
Paul said, "You have ten thousand instructors in Christ, yet not many fathers." Nothing has changed. Who is pouring into you, and who are you pouring into?

Behind every church plant is a team that helped it happen!
Partner with leaders who travel, pray, train and stand with pastors across the globe. Some members give toward this work directly, and it strengthens everything DOVE does to expand the gospel.
As a partner, you will receive monthly update letters from Merle Shenk including stories of how your gifts are creating impact in the nations.
As you give, we commit to pray for you when our apostolic team meets weekly for prayer. We believe this is a relational partnership that goes beyond financial support. We are happy to partner together in this tangible way.

Jesus didn't call us to simply attend church. He called us to make disciples!
Following Christ was never meant to be a one-hour-a-week commitment. It was designed to shape how we live, lead, serve, and influence others every day.
The early church changed the world through relationships, discipleship, and simple gatherings from house to house. What if that's still God's strategy today?
