It’s exciting to hear that you are interested in a DMM GO Group! We believe that these groups are super impactful and a joy to be a part of. Thank you for expressing interest.
DESCRIPTION
- One of the main purposes of the GO Group is to help people fall deeper in love with Jesus through times of abiding and spending time with him and out of our overflow of spending time with Jesus and the Father it compels us to want to share the Good News that we have experienced with others. In a GO Group we seek to train and develop people to be able to share the Kingdom with our friends, neighbors, coworkers and internationals who live among us and help them follow Jesus as disciples.
- These groups seek to stay focused on living out the Great Commission through multiplying our lives through disciple making efforts. This focus drives us into deeper times of fellowship, prayer, Bible study, and accountability as people minister together in a community. Being intentional in trying to make disciples is one of the main purposes of the group.

3. Spend at least 1 hour in prayer for our unbelieving friends and unreached/unengaged people groups (various nations of the world) with others in the group each week.
- Jesus informs us that the key to the harvest is prayer. To see people, enter the into the Kingdom of God, we must become a people dedicated to prayer both privately and corporately. As a community we will dedicate at least one hour of corporate prayer for our unbelieving friends, family, co workers, and internationals and the world each week.

- To develop some basic tools for disciple making such as Shema statements, Jesus stories, learning to share our story more effectively and leading a DBS.
