Who We Are
In 2012 a group of friends across the United States got together to make a small difference in communities across the world. We came together because we saw that some still lacked access to the Bible 2000 years after the death of Christ.

Our Mission
The mission of Disciples’ Promise is to minister to those with a desire for the Word of God. Disciples’ Promise is a non-profit organization that collaborates with financial and spiritual partners to distribute God's Word internationally where access barriers exist. The primary focus of Disciples’ Promise is to distribute Bibles and Biblical resources to international communities in their preferred language. We serve those who are out of reach of global missions' organizations and Biblical publishers.
Our Vision
To ensure access to a variety of Biblical resources, including but not limited to the Holy Bible, for those who desire it.

Our Team
Christopher McCurdy
Chris is one of the founding members of Disciples' Promise. While in Uganda with Peace Corps in 2011, he noticed that very few people had a Bible of their own. That realization sparked a burning passion for distributing God's Word to believers across Uganda and around the world. That launched a vision that ultimately led to the founding of Disciples' Promise. Now back on this side of the Atlantic, Chris works at Lenovo in North Carolina where he lives with his wife Erin and their two cats.
Erin McCurdy
Erin is the second founding member of Disciples' Promise. In 2011 she was interning with an organization in Uganda. Around the same time that Chris realized the need for Bibles, Erin had a separate experience that drove home the need for God's Word. Her desire to see believers read and understand the Bible in their own local language encouraged her to start Disciples' Promise. Now she lives in Durham, North Carolina with her husband Chris and works for HOPE International.
Jackie Kahler
In terms of where to find her, Jackie is our wildcard board member. She thrives off of travel and learning new cultures and we never know where she'll be. She also is big on community and living out God's dream to see people brought together and made whole in the process. She has been a member since 2016 and got involved because she believes that even one bible in the hands of a hungry believer can make a difference.
Robert Maeder (Advisor)
Rob is a charter member of Disciples' Promise. Since joining the team, Rob has been ordained as a minister of the Gospel. As a native African and Pastor, Rob has a heart to get Bibles and theological training into the hands of ministers and ministries in Africa and around the world. Rob is an Assistant Pastor at Crossroads Community Church in Somerville, NJ. He is married to his wonderful wife Suzanne. Together they raise three very energetic children: Leo, Zoe, and Lux. He serves Disciples' Promise as a spiritual adviser.
Molly Lindsey
Molly joined the Board in 2012 after graduating with a degree in Anthropology and has worked since then as the Secretary. Molly has experienced the impact of the Bible in her life and, as such, greatly appreciates the opportunity to work with Disciples Promise to provide similar impact to others by helping provide access to Bibles and spiritual resources. Molly and her husband, Justin, enjoy playing music, video games, and tossing toys to their two cats at their home in Maryland.
Sarah Easley
Sarah is a teacher in the public schools. She is actively involved in her church community, which is essentially a big family. In her free time, she enjoys taking photos, knitting, and hanging out with her friends, old and young!
