Our mission is to build a relationship with Jesus, with one another, and transform our world.

DOVE Christian Fellowship International (DOVE International) is a worldwide family of believers in Christ involved in churches and ministries located in six continents. As an international family, we are diverse in culture and background but share a common God-given vision, values, mission, and commitment to start and nurture churches and ministries to transform communities throughout the nations.

Behind every church plant is a team that helped it happen!

Partner with leaders who travel, pray, train and stand with pastors across the globe. Some members give toward this work directly, and it strengthens everything DOVE does to expand the gospel.

As a partner, you will receive monthly update letters from Merle Shenk including stories of how your gifts are creating impact in the nations.

As you give, we commit to pray for you when our apostolic team meets weekly for prayer. We believe this is a relational partnership that goes beyond financial support. We are happy to partner together in this tangible way.

Jesus didn't call us to simply attend church. He called us to make disciples!

Following Christ was never meant to be a one-hour-a-week commitment. It was designed to shape how we live, lead, serve, and influence others every day.

The early church changed the world through relationships, discipleship, and simple gatherings from house to house. What if that's still God's strategy today?

What's the difference between being a church attendee and being a disciple?

Most Christians don't know what God built them to do.

Not because they don't care, but because no one ever helped them find out how they fit. Ephesians 4 says God gave apostles, prophets, evangelists, shepherds and teachers to equip His people. Which one are you? Take our FREE Fivefold Gift Assessment and find out in 10 minutes.

Greetings from DOVE Asia!

Our leaders in Asia have gone to great lengths to spread the gospel through community outreach. They've dug fresh water wells in rural villages, started sewing schools to teach women to run their own businesses, and have preached the gospel despite harsh persecution. God has been so faithful! There are many stories we cannot share due to security risks, but know that God is moving in powerful ways.

Sign up for our monthly newsletter to get more stories of how God is working through DOVE in the nations!

Isolation protects your comfort, but community protects your calling.

As leaders, it can be easy to believe that we are alone, that we can "fix it" by ourselves, that healthy leadership actually looks like self-reliance. But this is not how revivals are started or how ministries are passed on to the next generation.

The kingdom of God is advanced through families, not isolated leaders. Who are you leaning on? Who are you allowing to speak into your life? Who is your inner circle? Who can tell you the hard truth or encourage you when you want to quit?

Maybe a few names came to mind. Maybe you still need to find your people. We encourage you to get connected.

If you realize that you have never had a spiritual parent or mentor, or that you don't know how to disciple others, we encourage you to check out "The Cry for Spiritual Fathers and Mothers" by Larry Kreider.

Some of the best leaders in your church are sitting in the back row.

The truth is, we are all called to be leaders in some shape or form. It takes intentionality and discipleship to recognize and cultivate leadership gifts.

This is why we created the DOVE Global Leadership and Ministry School.

It has been said, “You never take a class; you take a teacher.” In this school, you will learn from leaders who are still “doing it” and who will teach you how to “do it.” These men and women will encourage and empower you to find your place of fruitfulness in life, culture, and ministry.

We are called to labor with Him to build His church from house to house, city to city, and nation to nation.

DOVE helps plant churches and nurture leaders around the world. We encourage local church leaders to train God's people to become spiritual fathers and mothers who nurture, equip, and release believers for ministry through small groups and authentic community.

God has called us to be people of prayer, to make disciples, to reach those who need to know Jesus, and to advance the kingdom of God.

Our international family is just one of many apostolic movements God is raising up today. We stand together with the entire Body of Christ to advance the kingdom of God in every nation.
