Ordinary People Serving an Extraordinary God

Biglife is empowering Jesus-following families worldwide to reach, disciple, foster, and adopt orphans for Jesus Christ. Finances are the primary reason people are hesitant to adopt, so Biglife is helping solve this problem by financially supporting Biglife leaders and families who wish to adopt. This initiative is currently active in many parts of South and Central Asia and Africa, enabling loving families to adopt orphans and teach them to know and love Jesus as their savior.

Our prayer is that thousands of children will be adopted by Jesus-following families and raised as the next generation of disciple makers.

Biglife catalyzes Disciple-Making Movements worldwide to continue in perpetuity, even if Biglife ceased to exist as an organization. Every movement should first be fully dependent on the Lord and allow that dependency to build unity among the local body of believers. We see this model in Acts 2 when the movement multiplies rapidly, partially because the disciples are able to meet one another’s needs. When movements have this mindset, they are also able to set an example to others.

Ninety-eight percent of the global deaf community, totaling nearly 70 million individuals, remain unreached by the Gospel. This staggering statistic compelled us to take action, engaging deaf communities and catalyzing Disciple-Making Movements. Initially launched in Africa, this initiative is also rapidly expanding across South America and Asia. By bringing the Gospel to deaf individuals and empowering them to share with others in their community, we are reaching previously unreached people and ensuring everyone has the opportunity to encounter the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

Pastor to Pioneer is a network of practicing disciple makers walking alongside pastors who are yearning to transform their community by pioneering a movement of healthy disciples and simple churches. We empower pastors who feel burdened by the demands of managing an institution and help them live in God’s call for them without compromise.

This initiative leverages Biglife’s network of disciple makers to provide aid in areas affected by disasters. Some examples include delivering food relief to the Pakastani brick kilns, conducting rescue missions in Afghanistan, and providing food and shelter to internally displaced people on the Myanmar-Thailand border, all followed by Gospel sharing and discipleship efforts.  
  


In locations where Biglife has established connections with local disciples, we watch world events, confer with indigenous leaders, and consider ways Biglife can be a physical blessing, share the Gospel, and follow up with discipleship. While this is an opportunity to obey Jesus’ command to love people, our focus always remains on making disciples. 

The goal of Special Ops is to eventually see a Disciple-Making Movement grow in every country on Earth. To achieve this goal, Biglife identifies areas of the world where there are currently no Disciple-Making Movements and sends a team of proven catalysts to prayer walk, identify persons of peace, and launch Disciple-Making Movements.
