Our Vision: That every church in Pennsylvania and South Jersey is a healthy multiplying church.

Upcoming Trainings/Discipleship Groups

Many people talk about disciple-making;
the purpose of D-Life is to train you how.

Ministries all over the world are using D-Life to equip and empower their people for a lifestyle of disciple-making. The results are proven and powerful.

What can you expect to see when you begin D-Life?
You will see common people become Christ-like disciple makers.
You will see unexpected leaders stepping out to begin D-Groups.
You will see the spiritual fruit of multi-generational disciple-making.
You will see more people of all ages who start reading the Bible daily.
You will see the members of your groups growing in spiritual maturity.
You will see evangelism increase as groups serve in missional ministry.
You will see new leaders developed as groups reproduce disciple makers.
You will see unchurched people engage in your groups and come to Christ.
You will see your church establish a multiplying process of disciple-making.
You will see a true disciple-making movement grow at the core of your church.

These are just a few of the powerful results that we are seeing in churches of all sizes through D-Life. The goal of D-Life is to see a global grassroots disciple-making movement. We’d love for you to join the movement!

D-Life Testimonials

Pastor Stan Oschman, Plaid Community Church, Pittston, Pa.

“David, we want to thank you for coming in and doing our D-Life Bootcamp. It was so great to see something so simple and easy to implement in our everyday Christian walk. I’ve already had some of those who attended reach out excited about the opportunity to make disciples and growing in the Lord. Here is one text I received by Jenny, one who attended: ‘Thank you for setting today up. I learned so much and can’t wait to start discipling!!!’ Praise Jesus! Thank you again, David.”

Bill and Jamie Farris, Memorial Church, Gettysburg, Pa.

I can speak personally for me and my wife, D-Life was exactly what we were needing in our lives. Here’s the concept… read the Bible and talk about it! Man has made things way too hard.

Also, here is what D-Life has done in just a few short months with our group. People are growing simply because they are in the Word.

It’s raising up future healthy church members.

They get more comfortable praying out loud for one another.

It’s raising future ministry leaders!

It holds one another accountable!

It challenges you to serve like Jesus! (First service project Jun 15th!)
People are hungry for discipleship because people are asking to join the group!

I love it!

Akiko Sachs, God’s Field Church, Ambridge, Pa.

“I just needed to tell you that so far, we have 5 people from that D-life training came to tell us that they would like to be members of God’s Field Church!!! 🎉🎉🎉”

Tony Durnell, West Hills Baptist Church

“The D-Life Boot Camp has been an absolute blessing! This gospel-saturated, simplistic tool, which is easily reproduced, has instilled confidence in congregants of our church to live out the great commission. As we pray for revival, this tool has helped re-ignited a desire to create disciples who make disciples for God’s glory. This local church pastor could not be more excited to see how God will use D-life to push back the darkness and grow the Kingdom of God. D-life is a great resource for any pastor who desires to instill a disciple-making culture.”

Ken Sachs, God’s Field Church, Ambridge, Pa.

“The D-Life Discipleship training helped God’s Field Church start on their pathway to become disciples who make disciples. As the pastor of God’s Field Church this training was necessary to transition our church into becoming intentional with our relationship with Christ, His word, with our small group and during our ministry projects designs to share the gospel to our community, friends, and family. We are excited to see what God is going to do in our church and praying for God to multiply us. Awesome time of training from Pastor David Ludwig. God bless, Pastor Ken.”

Pastor Jeff Sours, Memorial Baptist Church, Gettysburg

“The framework of D-Life is a simple multiplication strategy that introduces people to Jesus, helps them to grow in their faith, and teaches them how to replicate. The method and materials are ones that anyone could pick up and use in leading a discipleship group. As a church, one of our goals this year is to be a people in the Word, and D-Life provides a roadmap for not only discipleship, but also for getting us into the Word. We are excited to see how this begins to take root within MBC, and also outside of the walls as we invite others to learn more about the Bible and who Jesus really is.”
