Zúme, the Greek word for ‘yeast,’ holds a significant meaning. In Matthew 13:33, Jesus compared the kingdom of heaven to yeast mixed into a large amount of flour, permeating the entire dough. This parable illustrates how ordinary people, using ordinary resources, can have exponential impact for the Kingdom of God.
In 2015, a small group committed to fulfilling Jesus’ Great Commission mandate convened for a Jonathan Project Leadership Meeting. They prayed and discussed the challenges in multiplying disciples around the world. Recognizing the need for accessible, multilingual, and flexible training that aligns with Jesus’ call for ordinary people to be ‘yeast’ for the Kingdom, the idea for online video-based training was born. Ultimately, this idea evolved into what is now known as Zúme.
The foundational disciple-making principles in Zúme Training come straight from the Bible and have been tested globally for over thirty years. These principles empower ordinary believers to become disciples who, in turn, make disciples, resulting in millions of disciples advancing the Kingdom in spiritually dark places.
Launched on February 14, 2017, through Kingdom collaboration, Zúme Training remains an open initiative without formal organizational control or a separate entity. Since Zúme is not run by an organization, there is no formal statement of faith. All involved, however, would agree with the Lausanne Covenant.
The goal is to saturate the globe with multiplying disciples in our generation. The Biblical principles found in this training are simple. The world changing potential is in the practice of these principles.
The vision of Zúme is comparable to yeast working through the entire dough, spreading basic Kingdom tools into neighborhoods worldwide.
