Disciples Today is excited to announce the release of the very first online social network for disciples of the International Churches of Christ, our family and friends. Over 500 have joined in the first day!

Join as an individual, a church or a campus ministry. Urge others to join and become a part of your group, your friends network, etc.

www.DTSpace.net

This is a totally free service offered to you by Disciples Today. Help us build a community of disciples online in a safe, fun environment. Help people reconnect and make new connections around the world.

Have you ever wished:

  • you could build relationships with disciples in other countries?
  • you could make some friends with disciples in the church that you are supporting with your missions contribution?
  • you could find a brother or sister in Christ who studied the Bible with you years ago?
  • you could share how God changed your life at the ICMC or some other event and reconnect with the people you met there?

I have been praying for God to put this on someone's heart who would be a reliable servant to build this site. God has now brought this to a reality.

God put it on the hearts of two disciples to start building our own social network for disciples, family and friends. They prayed that Disciples Today would be interested. God put us together and the outcome is www.DTSpace.net for you.

The site is now live. We will have some bugs to work out, but it is a living site that will grow as you build it. We have provided the tool and foundation as a gift to you. Now it is up to you to see how God can use this to connect and reconnect us.

We also expect you to help us keep God's standards on the site. Read the About Us for more detail as to how the site works.

Here are some of the cool features:

* Create your own custom profile, blog, groups, forums, etc.
* Create events and invite others.
* Upload pictures, videos and music
* Use the instant messenger and video chat features
* Invite your friends
* Make new friends
* Send an eCard
* Share a prayer request and an answered prayer
* Check out how others are using the site and take it higher.

Members from 14 to 17 will automatically have private profiles that only their invited guests can see.

This online community is a lot like the church. It will never be perfect. But God is working in us and we strive to live by the grace and standards God has given us. We also invite our family and friends to share our lives by coming into our community. Not everyone here will be a disciple. We will expect everyone to conduct themselves by God's standards while they are here. And we pray they will see the amazing hearts and lives of this culturally diverse group of people God has connected around the world.

So come on in and walk around. Tell your friends.
