One of the greatest joys of our lives was to form and lead the first two HOPE Youth Corps in 1994 to Manila and in 1995 to Johannesburg. Since then, through the tireless efforts of HOPE worldwide, hundreds of thousands have benefited from thousands of Youth Corps workers who have traveled around the globe and at home to simply serve God and the poor. Those alumni maintain an amazing social network that includes some marriages!

Our ICOC Campus Service Team approves applications and certifies official One Year Challenge locations every year. Below is a video invitation from the Rio Grande Valley in Texas.

13,000 murders in Mexico; earthquake, tsunami and radiation fear in Japan; earthquake, cholera and riots in Haiti; disciples fleeing violence in Abidjan; huge protests and violence in many countries in the Middle East; church buildings burned and Christians killed in Indonesia; disciples jailed and beaten in India. These are just some of the dangerous situations disciples face around the world.

Disciples Today and ICOC Hot News are asking every church who is willing to set aside at least one day in March for prayer and fasting for Disciples in Danger. Churches around the world have responded.

The new Disciples in Danger video has been distributed to nearly 400 churches. Click here to subscribe.

This great video inspired thousands at the Midwest Vision Retreat this past weekend in Chicago! It is great to see younger disciples seeing visions and older disciples still dreaming. Three evangelists and women ministry leaders were appointed and a church planting was sent out to Racine, Wisconsin.

From 300 in San Antonio in 2005 to 2100 in Chicago in 2010, our International Campus Ministry Conferences in the US have reflected a global resurgence in the campus ministries of the International Churches of Christ with the spirit of "Here Am I, Send Me!"

In 2011, as 30 ICMCs occur around the world, the US students will share in two events to make it possible for even more to attend. Check out the details that have just been announced for the ICMC US East which is taking it Deeper and the ICMC US West which is taking it Higher.

At Disciples Today our passion is to connect disciples and churches around the world. We are grateful to God for this mission and to each of the churches and individuals who make this possible.

In just the last month, DisciplesToday.org websites have been visited 42,331 times from 163 countries! God certainly has given us incredible tools to connect the International Churches of Christ and our friends globally.
