Who Are We

Disciple Life Ministries is an evangelistic, reform, revival and disciple making ministry that seeks to encourage and foster true Christianity and true discipleship within, and in spite of, the prevailing lukewarm and worldly Evangelical and Emerging Church cultures in America.

We are a subsidiary of Prayerlife Ministries, a registered and tax exempt 501(c)(3), non-profit organization, formed by Mark Calhoun in 2002, accountable to a board of directors, and based in Southaven, Mississippi.

Convictions

The ministry was birthed out of a heart-wrenching burden divinely placed upon our hearts for:

1. The overwhelmingly lukewarm and worldly condition of Evangelicalism and the church in America.
2. For the large number of American Christians who blend their professions of faith with pursuit of the American Dream; and whose lives are more in tune with the spirit of the world than with the Spirit of God and the Savior they profess to follow.
3. For the lack of authentic faith—and its eternal consequences—among professing Christians in America, evidenced by the absence of works that accompany true salvation.
4. The lack of true discipleship taught, embraced or lived out by Evangelical Christians in America.
5. Widespread Biblical and theological illiteracy among professing Christians.
6. The lack of fervent prayer by pastors, professing Christians and local church bodies in America-and in its stead, the program.
7. The absence of the Spirit's anointing and the manifest presence of God in many of our church assemblies and in the lives of too many professing Christians in America.

Mission 

Disciple Life Ministries seeks to foster reform of, and spiritual awakening in, the lukewarm church in America, and to rescue those who think they are saved but are not. Our ultimate goal is to move lukewarm Christians beyond the boundaries of cultural or “acceptable” Christianity to becoming true and fully surrendered followers of our Lord Jesus Christ. With this purpose in mind, we seek to expose and warn about the unbiblical trends and teachings that effect, impact and compromise true Biblical Christianity, by comparing them with Scripture. We also seek to refresh, relieve, and encourage those true saints around the world who suffer for their uncompromising faith and witness. 

Ministry Objectives

• To expose false teaching and practices by comparing them with Scripture.
• To awaken the church in America to its lukewarm position, and foster revival.
• To rescue those who think they are saved but are not. 
• To make and equip fully surrendered followers of our Lord Jesus. 
• To refresh those true saints who travel upon the difficult path that leads to life. 

Motto

"To warn the many, disciple the true, expose what’s false, encourage the few."

Methods & Tools

We accomplish our mission by utilizing various methods and tools of outreach including this website, books, newsletters, tracts, and other publications; and by conducting revival services and speaking in churches; participating in and hosting conferences, seminars, and Bible studies; and by building True Disciple Fellowship groups.  We also hope to form a non-profit foundation from which to refresh and relieve suffering Christians around the world through tangible forms of assistance.

Motivation

We are sincerely motivated out of loving obedience to God’s leading, and compelled by a deep and genuine burden for the lukewarm and worldly condition of the church and for so many professing Christians who think they are saved, but who have never truly been born of the Spirit of God.  We also are compelled by a burden to refresh God's suffering people around the world.  We do these things as unto the Lord and not unto men, that the Lamb might be glorified in his church and people. 

Longing

We long for the day when the Evangelical church in America, generally speaking, is more willing to pay the cost of cultivating God’s manifest presence then it is to cultivate the presence of worldly seekers at any cost; more burdened to preach the truth and see lives transformed than compromising it to be relevant; and more compelled to call men to repent and count the costs than to offer up a cheap gospel that does not offend, to offset costs.
