The purpose of this ministry is to partner with and strengthen the local Church by advancing lifestyle discipleship—training, equipping, and mobilizing believers to live out the life of Christ in every context. This calling is rooted in the conviction that true discipleship must shape daily life, relationships, and witness, especially in regions where speaking the Gospel openly can endanger those who hear and those who proclaim.
One of the most significant challenges we face is the very real danger confronting Muslim background believers, the primary focus of our ministry. Their courageous decision to follow Jesus often places them at personal risk, making wise, secure, and culturally sensitive discipleship essential.
To help safeguard these brothers and sisters while continuing to advance the work, McDaniel Phillips serves on the boards of three ministry agencies with trusted personnel and partner church networks throughout the Middle East and North Africa. These partnerships provide on the ground insight, accountability, and protective structures that allow the ministry to operate faithfully in high risk environments.
Help is needed to supplement on the ground activities with printed materials and media devices to facilitate ongoing learning. These resources extend discipleship beyond physical gatherings, placing biblical teaching directly into homes, tents, and communities where access to spiritual instruction is limited or dangerous.
Together, we can strengthen the Church, protect vulnerable believers, and advance lifestyle discipleship in some of the most spiritually needy regions of the world.
