| How can we help you ? How can you help us ? How can we work together to help someone else ? The DCI movement of global partnerships began in England in 1985 during a year of prayer and today our friends, supporters, colleagues and their churches and projects can be found on all five continents. You can see some names and places by clicking here. These pages in the middle of the world's busiest market place - the Internet, are our “shop window” and reflect our everyday activities mainly in the developing world. We do training for leaders, with no walls, frontiers or fees.By mid-2008 we have attended to over 25 million page visits or 'hits' from over 100 nations, through this website, which is centre of our communications with our partners and friends around the world DCI is a movement that serves, we has no formal leaders, elders or written constitution other than the Bible. We work together in friendship, 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. In the middle of everyone are Les and Pilar Norman in England who provide the main personal support for partners, project leaders and for visitors to this website. Les Norman has spent 31 years in missions, churches and training 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 big favourite in the Spanish speaking world.  Les is English, Pilar is Spanish and both are 58 years old with 3 children, James, 35, David 33, and Elisabeth who is 19 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. No one in the DCI movement receives a salary from the movement and expenses are deliberately kept to an absolute minimum. Nearly all income goes directly to people and projects in the developing world. You will find a statement of faith towards the end of this page Would you like to see some of our photos ?
