Application Responses
We are a grassroots youth discipleship movement reaching some of the most vulnerable children in the world (Mt 25:40). Their lives are transformed by Christ. All leaders, and all Alongsiders (mentors) are committed to following Jesus.
We focus on reaching the most vulnerable children in Asia and Africa (and beyond) by equipping local Christian youth/young adults (from their own communities) to disciple them "one to one" over the course of several years. Many of these "little brothers and sisters" grow up to become followers of Jesus and Alongsiders themselves. The movement is now in 30 countries with almost 30,000 participants.
Discipleship Camps (East Africa & India) - $10 per pair = $60,000 Discipleship Curriculum Printing (Comic Books in local languages) = $136,262
More About Alongsiders
Hi Jon and Leslie – it was great to chat the other day Jon!
As requested, I am sending through some of our curriculum.
COMICS (read by the Alongsider together with their little brother/sister)
Firstly, you can gain an overview of the various comics here: https://www.alongsiders.org/curriculum
Note that we have 4 versions depending on the region:
- Urban Curriculum – used in more developed urban settings
- African Curriculum – used across most of Africa
- South Asian Curriculum – used in India, Pakistan, Nepal, Bangladesh etc.
- South-East Asian Curriculum – Used in Cambodia, Laos, Thailand, etc.
Be sure to click the arrow to advance through all 27 comics in each curriculum. These are printed locally in the heart language of the children.
I’m also attaching a few samples. But just let me know if you would like me to send more through.
DISCIPLESHIP TRAINING MANUALS (studied together in the Alongsiders groups by the youth mentors)
There is one Discipleship Training Manual (DTM) per year (for 6 years). Each lesson matches the comic for that month but goes deeper.
I am attaching the first 3 DTMs. These are used in the heart language of the Alongsiders. We have more than 30 languages currently translated.
Mobilizer 101 & 201 Training Workbooks (for Movement leaders)
These courses are run by and for movement leaders within each movement. They are video based with workbooks that participants work through over 2 or 3 days together.
Anyway that’s a glimpse of some of the curriculum we work with. There are a few more things but these form the core.
Let me know if you have any questions or would like more info.
Heaps of blessings,
Craig Greenfield
