The Disciple Nations Alliance exists to see the global church rise to her full potential as God's agent for the healing, blessing, and transformation of nations.

Every two years, DNA friends, partners, trainers and practitioners from around the world gather to worship God, fellowship, network, share stories, encourage one other, and participate in shaping the DNA global movement for the future. The DNA Global Forum is also a wonderful opportunity for those who wish to learn more about the DNA to get involved and be part of what God is doing to disciple nations in the 21st century!

For the first time, the DNA Global Forum will be held in Africa, hosted by DNA affiliate, Samaritan Strategy Africa. You will be inspired by the amazing ways that God is transforming Africa through this powerful ministry.

Below you will find information on how to register, the venue, and transportation.
