God certainly blessed the International Churches of Christ around the world in 2010. Disciples Today is grateful that God has used us to connect disciples and churches around the world as the most trusted, complete source of information and connection for our churches.
Here are some of the 2010 highlights.
To all the churches who have generously supported us, we are forever grateful. You have made it possible for us to survive so that we provide these services that are crucial to our unity, cooperation and mission.
