As a Zúme coach, Richard did not let the fact that he was 79 years old and in a wheelchair keep him from expanding the kingdom!
As Richard’s health was failing, he gathered his family, friends, coworkers, and other contacts to share with them the vision of Zúme. Coming from a successful government job, Richard said, “If I can do this in my professional capacity, why can’t I do something similar for the Lord.”
Hear inspiring stories about Richards's loving legacy, creative ideas, and encouraging perseverance. As Tim shares of his coaching journey with Richard and others continue across nations and generations, the multiplication of disciples and churches has no limits with Jesus! -

Growing up in Ghana, Isaac lived for years without hearing the gospel. Then, God changed his life and connected him with Terry and Amy. Together, they coached him to coach others in multiplying disciples and churches through Zúme.
As Isaac and his friends went through Zúme, they began to “actually understand the scriptures they were reading.” As they began to put it into action and share it with others, God multiplied movements across the region.
Multiplying without the internet, and coaching over WhatsApp with people in distant villages, Zúme has primarily been used offline to fuel the movement. Also available as an offline app on the phone, printed book, and other formats, Zúme offline has shaped this local village believer’s life unto thousands.
Hear from Isaac as he shares from Ghana with his coaches, Terry and Amy. Stories, challenges, and ways that God has made a way with Zúme! -

Welcome back to the Zúme Multiplying Disciples Podcast, where we're on a journey to saturate the world with multiplying disciples in our generation.
Chad, it's sweet to be with you, fellow teammate on the Zúme team, and man there's so much that we could talk about but we're gonna try and just squeeze in some snapshots in these next 20 minutes. And so, um – A couple of things that I would love to just highlight as we kick off, Chad, and maybe then you could tell a little bit about yourself. But you've been involved in seeing these Zúme tools and principles be actually created into YouVersion Bible studies, like the devotions on the YouVersion app that people could click on. And if I remember the last stats I saw, it was over a quarter million people [who] were engaging on Zúme through the YouVersion Bible app, and that is something that anyone can access and hop on. And then, on top of that, we all know social media but good old TikTok and exploring Zúme videos and sharing on TikTok.
And – really stoked about this announcement – if you guys haven't checked out the Zúme.vision website lately, there is a new feature and it is the live chat box! And so when you go to Zúme, to the website, you'll see a live chat box that you can actually, right there, click to be able to talk to someone from the Zúme team, from coaches from volunteers, on Zúme.training. And so it's been an exciting — Chad, like you have been a part of helping pioneer that. And so, man! YouVersion, TikTok, live chat box, and so much more.
And so, Chad, why don't you just tell us a little bit about yourself and then we can dig into some of just the stories of what God's doing and some of these cool resource access points.
Chad:
Absolutely, Mary! I was hanging out with the guy that was discipling me, Eric Dairy, and he said, “Man, you should come into this meeting!” And it was a Zúme meeting and they were like, “Man, we really need somebody to help with social media.” And I raised my hand and said, “Well, I – I like playing around on Facebook and stuff, and and um, and actually have like two Facebook accounts that are kind of maxed out, but really enjoy, um, the social media world.” And so they were like, “Oh, that's great!” And so we started with a Facebook page and then an Instagram page and then a Twitter page, and now we've got a LinkedIn page and a TikTok page and the YouVersion stuff is my favorite social media. So, with YouVersion, you can go to Plans, in Search, type in Zúme, and you can see all of the different plans and different things that are up. Um. That would be the one social media tool that I would like to sink my time and stuff into.
But we are actively looking for other people that might be interested in helping us figure out how to get more people engaging and kind of just spreading the word. In the training cycle, you know, we pass this stuff on to people by modeling, assisting, watching, and then leaving. And so, with social media we can do a ton of modeling and, and kind of showing people the ropes and how to get started with this stuff. And that stuff is really exciting to me, and if that's exciting to you, the — My kids were giving me the hardest time about being on TikTok because I'm an old guy, and. And we just need some, some other people that would be interested in saying, “Yeah! Um, I'm in! I'd love to, to help run the Twitter page, I'm on Twitter all the time,” or whatever, you know? Uh. -
