Ralph Moore and his wife Ruby started the Hope Chapel movement when they planted Hope Chapel Hermosa Beach in California. Twelve years and 30 church plants later, they helped plant Hope Chapel Kaneohe Bay, Hawaii (now Anchor Church). Lately they and a wonderful team planted a third church, Hope Chapel Honolulu. Besides being church planters, they are happy parents and grandparents. A former surfer, Ralph occasionally gets in the water with a stand-up paddle board. Currently, he mostly spends free time walking, reading and hanging out at the pool. He also works as “Church Multiplication Catalyzer” at Exponential.org.
Ralph Moore has spent over fifty years as a master maker of disciple makers. Ralph is the founder of the Hope Chapel Movement, which, like Calvary Chapels and the Vineyard churches, came out of the Jesus Movement in Southern California in the early 1970s. Ralph’s impact has been unprecedented in the last 50+ years of North American church history. He planted disciple making churches that planted other disciple making churches so that today 2,600+ churches have been planted from the disciple making churches he planted. Many are overseas, now touching every continent.
In Making Disciples, Ralph walks through the simple steps behind this multiplying movement. This book will help you explore important questions such as:
“Ralph helps us rediscover the simple principles and practices that produce disciples who make disciples, who plant churches that plant churches. Along the way, we see how his faithful perseverance in one tiny church has produced multiplying impact to every continent.”
—Todd Wilson, co-founder Exponential, Entrepreneurial Engineer for Multipliers and author of How Did We Get Here? Examining 70 Years of the Church Growth Movement
“Ralph Moore’s Making Disciples is a timely and clarifying call back to the heart of Jesus’ strategy for changing the world.…This book is both a prophetic wake-up call and a practical roadmap for any leader who longs to see disciples who actually make disciples.”
—Dave Ferguson, Exponential CEO & author of Multiplier: How Healthy Leaders Create Lasting Impact
“Hands down the best book on disciple making out there. Practical wisdom from a wise practitioner.”
—Peyton Jones, Author of Discipology: The Art and Science of Making Disciples

The Apocrypha. Even the word is mysterious, perhaps conjuring up some Amazon.com-only work on the “lost books of the Bible.” For evangelicals, the Apocrypha can be intimidating, as its presence […]
