The Disciple Maker‘s Podcast

Susan Freese (founder and president of All In Ministries International) talked to us about healthy short term missions. You can more wisely steward your short-term missions to make a long-term impact with one addition: discipling indigenous women. Worldwide women believers do not know they are loved, valued, or have a divine purpose of enjoying God and exalting Him by making disciples. When you intentionally invest in local women—they are radically and fundamentally changed. They’ll risk their lives to spread the gospel to their families, communities, and closed spaces. That’s because women are "keepers of religion" in many cultures—yet few people invest in women. 

Susan Freese (founder and president of All In Ministries International) spoke about launching (or re-launching) thriving women's ministries. To encourage and equip women to fulfill their part in the body of Christ requires intentionality. Women's ministry in the local church is not meant to be superficial or siloed. With your support, women's ministry can be one of the most evangelistic, disciple-making drivers of the local church. That’s because in single-gender environments, women feel more comfortable asking questions, volunteering, and sharing their faith.
