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.
