The mission

What this organization describes

Disciple building

Organized in 1974 by Carl Wilson, Worldwide Discipleship Association (WDA) serves the Church worldwide by developing Christ-like character in people and equipping them to disciple others according to the pattern Jesus used to train His disciples. We envision a worldwide network of interconnected ministries committed to the ongoing process of Christ-like sanctification and renewal, and staffed by teams of leaders who are trained using a biblical pattern of discipleship. Realizing the strategic position held by universities as centers of influence in our culture, WDA initiated its ministry on college campuses. We continue to build disciples on college campuses, but also focus on developing other centers, partnerships, publications and resources that equip disciple builders, both in the US and overseas.
