DCI is a network of friends, pastors, people, partners and projects that began in England in 1985 after a year of prayer and today can be found serving on all five continents. Click here to see our photo album.

These pages in the middle of the world's busiest market place - the Internet, are our “shop window” and they show you our everyday activities mainly in the developing world. 
We provide a home, a fellowship, an identity and support for people all over the world who have a heart to reach the lost, the last and least of their region or over their borders.

We provide free training with no walls, frontiers or fees.

We equip graduates and leaders with resources for their vision.

We have a bank that likes to say yes to the poor of the world.

We bless the poor as our way of giving thanks to God.

We have ongoing prayer, worship, fellowship, Eucharist or communion and giving. We honour the word of God, and we welcome the Holy Spirit to help and guide us.

By early 2010 we had attended to over 43 million page visits or 'hits' from over 100 nations, through this website, which is one of the main ways that our partners and friends around the world talk to each other.

DCI is an informal community that serves, not a local church, not a mission, not a charity or an NGO, we are like-minded friends who work together. We have no formal leaders, no elders and no written constitution other than the Bible. We work together, supporting each other in God's call to different kinds of lifestyle and mission. We do not charge for any of our materials, advice or support. We have no buildings, and pay no salaries.

In the middle of everyone are Les and Pilar Norman in England who provide the main personal support for the project leaders and the supporters of this website. Les Norman has spent 33 years following the call of God to the last, the lost and least of the world and these days is a guest speaker, a writer, and the editor of these pages. Pilar does just as much, also teaches Spanish, and her Christian poetry is a very big favourite in the Spanish speaking world.



Les is English, Pilar is Spanish and both are 60 years old with 3 children, James, 37, David 35, and Elisabeth who is 21 and a young leader in her own right, at University studying Developing World Issues. Since 1977 we have been working with leaders and people of all ages, colours and nationalities from many church backgrounds from the classical to the modern. In this picture you can see Les, Pilar and Elisabeth representing the UK and Spain with Korean and African colleagues in Nairobi, Kenya.

All over the world DCI is six people here and twelve people there and ten somewhere else, and this is the way we like it because in small groups we get to know everyone personally by name.

Les holds an earned Doctor's and Masters degree, and Pilar is qualified to degree level as a teacher and has known the Lord for 42 years.  Their work is a response to the call of God many years ago and like many believers in mission across the nations they choose to trust the Lord for his provision for life, family and work.
