More about the President's Circle
"The body is a unit, though it is made up of many parts; and though all its parts are many, they form one body. So it is with Christ." 1Corinthians 12:12 (ESV)
Overview
- The Vision: A full-time missionary at every college campus in America. As the campuses are reached, the world will be reached.
- The Motive: Christ's call to "make disciples of all nations."
- The Goal: Increase our resources in order to expand the ministry of DiscipleMakers.
- The Method: Partner with God's people through prayer, networking and financial support.
- The Result: Greater effectiveness of our existing ministries and expansion to new campuses - growing the kingdom of Christ.
What will it take to reach the next generation with the Gospel of Christ?
Jesus told us that the harvest is ready (John 4:35) and commanded us to work alongside Him to bring the message of salvation to a lost world (Matthew 28:19-20). DiscipleMakersstaff work joyfully at college campuses across Pennsylvania, inviting young men and women - shapers of the future - to come and follow Jesus. We pray and labor toward this end: that this generation will follow God with their whole heart and will reproduce others like them all of their lives.
We need your help!
As a rapidly growing mission, we need to build a strong infrastructure - one that will support a national organization. This requires freeing up Bill Dripps, our President, to lead the charge and build a significant pool of resources to fund behind-the-scenes strategic efforts. Just as the Israelite army would have fought the battle in vain without Moses to support them, so our staff depend on the leadership of our Senior Staff and President to complete our mission. DiscipleMakers needs many "Aarons" and "Hurs" to stand with our leaders to advance God's kingdom on college campuses. As our Staff grow in effectiveness in the work of the Gospel, lives are changed.Contact us at prescircle@dm.org

History of the President's Circle
The President's Circle was rolled out in 2000 and was initially funded by generous gifts from the DiscipleMakers Staff. The next year, additional partners added another 50% to the fund. Since that time, God continues to bless the President's Circle through the generous gifts of godly men and women. The fund and support they give has helped Bill travel to support staff and recruit Board members, provided for a legal review of DiscipleMakers
and supported several other strategic projects. As we look ahead, we see that God is already raising up new Staff and opening opportunities to go to more campuses. He has provided us with a new Headquarters building in State College, PA and continues to expand our influence on campuses across Pennsylvania.
Lives are Changed
Julie sat in her dorm room at Muhlenberg College planning her suicide at the end of her freshman year. The partying she hoped would fill the void inside instead left her feeling even more empty. At just the right moment, Elizabeth, a Christian student who was involved in the DiscipleMakers ministry on campus, reached out to her.
Julie came to know Christ, and Elizabeth "discipled" her, teaching her how to walk with God and how to share her faith with others. Today Julie is a godly and committed wife and mother, reaching her world for Christ. Julie told us recently, "I'm so thankful for Elizabeth and for DiscipleMakers!"
