Disciple Tools

A disciple relationship management system for discipleship making movements.

Description

Disciple Tools is a disciple relationship management system especially designed to support outreach projects using digital marketing to accelerate disciple making movements (DMM).

Purpose

There needs to exist a simple, low-cost, highly distributable DRM that is tailored to the process of using digital marketing to accelerate disciple making movements. Most DRM solutions are too expensive to be used by small volunteer teams, and they often require significant configuration and development to implement. This project is attempting to make a rapid launch, low cost system that is tailored for movements.

Platform

We are building on the Wordpress platform because of its open-source availability, simplicity of installation, numerous low cost hosting options, multi-lingual support, substantial configurability and customization, giant development community and resources, native REST API, mobile readiness, and healthy market place for distributing themes and plugins.
