A Look Back at What God Did—Because You Gave
Dear Friend,
2025 was a year marked by one simple rhythm—Study. Practice. Teach.
It’s the pattern we return to in Ezra 7:10, and it remains the heartbeat of Disciple Daily.
Because of your generosity, that rhythm strengthened young adults in The Fellowship, equipped pastors and everyday believers around the world, and carried God’s story into places that needed hope—from Peru and the Amazon to Eurasia, the Texas Hill Country, and even Israel in the midst of war.
You helped more people learn the whole story of Scripture—and learn how to share it with clarity, courage, and compassion. You shaped disciples who are now making more disciples.
We are humbled and deeply grateful.
Below, you’ll find the details of what God did through your giving in 2025. If you want a deeper look, the full report is there for you.
If all you have time for is this moment, please hear this:
Your generosity made a lasting, multiplying impact.
We step into 2026 full of expectation—ready to follow wherever God leads, and grateful to walk this story with you.
With gratitude,
Disciple Daily

The Fellowship: Deep Roots. Daily Discipleship. Real-World Impact.
Young adults trained to live Scripture—not just study it.
In 2025, we celebrated the graduation of our third Fellowship Team—Caleb Stratemann, Jenifer Cortez, and Rob Townly.
Thanks to donor generosity, this seven-month experience remains fully funded and tuition-free.
The Fellowship isn’t a classroom—it’s a way of life.
Each morning begins together at the table, opening Scripture, asking honest questions, and learning to see the whole story of God from Genesis to Revelation. In community, young believers learn to:

Eurasia: A New Chapter Through a Trusted Disciple-Maker
One disciple becoming a discipler of many.
This year we launched a new chapter in Eurasia through Eugene Postolache, a long-time disciple shaped and trained through Disciple Daily’s ministry. Eugene is the fruit of years invested in studying, practicing, and teaching God’s story—and now he represents Disciple Daily across the Eurasian region.
Arlie traveled with Eugene, our Eurasia Regional Director, to Tbilisi, Georgia, where they trained nearly 30 Muslim-background followers of Jesus from the Russian Caucasus. Many of these leaders serve in some of the most spiritually difficult and politically volatile areas of the region.
We are humbled to watch someone we once discipled now become a significant influence—teaching the next generation, strengthening leaders, and multiplying disciples through the same simple, story-based tools he learned with us.
Seeing Eugene flourish is a reminder of what God does through faithfulness over time: disciples become disciplers, and His story continues to spread where it is needed most.

Lone Oak: A Training Ground for Story-Formed Disciples
Where Scripture becomes tangible and community grows deep.
Even as improvements continue at The Meeting Place, Lone Oak has become a steady home for training, hospitality, and discipleship.
Experiencing the Feasts of the Lord
This year we hosted several Biblical Feast gatherings, helping people understand how God’s appointed times point to Jesus—both His fulfilled promises and the ones still to come.
Through short teaching, hands-on crafting, shared meals, and unhurried conversations, guests experienced the Feasts in a way that made Scripture tangible. These events created space for the next generation to see how God uses His appointed times to shape identity, faith, and hope.
Prescreening “October 7: Bearing Witness to the Massacre”
Lone Oak also became a safe place for believers to process difficult current events. We hosted two private prescreenings of the October 7 documentary, welcoming church leaders, young adults, and those seeking clarity in a confusing cultural moment.
The discussions that followed were honest and deeply needed—centered on discerning truth and viewing suffering through a biblical lens.

San Antonio Ministry Partnerships: Strengthening Believers Across the City
Walking with churches and ministries that shape lives every week.
From Bible learning to restoration work, Disciple Daily continues to support ministries across San Antonio.
The Carpenters Class — Building Confidence to Share the Gospel
Nearly 70 adults gather weekly for interactive Bible learning focused on the storyline of Scripture and teaching others what they learn.
Grace House — Walking with Women Toward Restoration
For over a decade, Grace House has invited Disciple Daily to teach women transitioning out of incarceration.
Our story-based approach helps ground these women in biblical truth and gives them tools for lasting transformation.
University Outreach — Investing in the Next Generation
Whenever invited by local universities, we say yes. This year, we taught at Incarnate Word and UTSA—helping students searching for identity, truth, and direction in their faith. These moments, though small, open doors for long-term discipleship.

Strengthening the Team & Expanding Key Partnerships
STAFF EXPANSION
Eugene Postolache joins us this year as a self-supported representative of Disciple Daily in Moldova and throughout Eurasia. Eugene is a key leader in the global sports movement with responsibilities in leadership in his region. Eugene is a strong practitioner and advocate of our Bible story-telling strategies. Adding Eugene extends our reach globally.
This year we also welcomed Alice Myer on staff full-time, strengthening our capacity in training, operations, community life, and mentorship.
CRISIS RESPONSE CERTIFICATION
Both Keith and Alice completed official Samaritan’s Purse emergency team chaplaincy certification, preparing Disciple Daily to serve in global disaster zones with spiritual and emotional care.
DEEPENING TIES WITH ISRAEL
We continued building strategic relationships with Jewish believers and congregations in Israel—a key priority for living out the Abrahamic promise: “To bless the people of Israel—and through them, all nations.”

Vision for 2026: Loving Israel With Grace, Hope & Truth
As we move into 2026, Disciple Daily will continue all the ministry efforts God has entrusted to us—training disciples, equipping pastors, strengthening churches, and investing in the next generation. But we also sense that God is inviting us into more.
In this new season, it seems clear that He is calling us to deepen our connections with the people of Israel—especially as they begin healing from two years of war. Opportunities for relationship, discipleship, and partnership have been coming to us unasked for, and we want to respond wisely and faithfully.
This is one of the reasons we have added to our staff: to prepare for what lies ahead and to steward these new connections with care. We believe God is positioning Disciple Daily for a unique role in strengthening the bridge between believers here and the Body of Messiah in Israel.
At the heart of this calling is a simple conviction: the best way to bless Israel is with Jesus—loving them with grace, hope, and truth.
1. Strengthening Connections Between Congregations
God is connecting us with congregations in Israel who are faithfully following Jesus in the land He chose. In 2026, we want to help churches here build direct, meaningful relationships with these congregations—relationships rooted in prayer, encouragement, and the shared hope of the Gospel.
Our desire is to create a living bridge: believers in the U.S. blessing Israel, and believers in Israel blessing us.
2. Building Relationships Through Unusual Hospitality at Lone Oak Retreat
In 2026, Lone Oak Retreat will become a place where hospitality builds relationships that open the door to spiritual conversations—conversations that Connections Global will continue nurturing when these young Israelis return home.
For Israelis emerging from two years of war, even small acts of kindness feel extraordinary. This kind of unusual hospitality—warm, generous, and without pressure—softens hearts and creates space for honest questions about faith and identity.
Through our partnership with Connections Global, we’re learning how to welcome Israelis with patience and wisdom. Their team understands the wide range of Israeli backgrounds and the unique needs of this moment. And we share the same heart: to show the love of Jesus in a way that is genuine, gentle, and culturally aware.
Our approach is simple:
We welcome them, we listen, we share who we are, and we trust God to guide the conversation.
When they return to Israel, Connections Global and local congregations continue the relationship—helping spiritual curiosity grow into deeper understanding.
This is relational ministry at its best:
humble, patient, Spirit-led, and full of hope.
3. A Birthright-Style Discipleship Journey for Young Adults
As we extend hospitality to Israeli travelers at Lone Oak, we are also introducing them to young adults from our church through simple, organic activities in and around New Braunfels and San Antonio. These shared moments—meals, conversations, hikes, serving together—often spark curiosity about the land of the Bible and the people God chose to tell His story through.
This relational foundation will flow into our birthright-style discipleship journey to Israel, designed to help young adults understand Scripture in its Jewish context, build friendships with Israeli believers, and develop a deeper love for biblical Israel.
This is not tourism.
It is discipleship shaped by relationship—before, during, and after their trip.
A journey where Scripture, culture, and community come together to anchor the next generation in God’s story.
