What if you had the courage, confidence, intentionality, and training to BE GOOD NEWS to ANYONE who has never heard
in genuine, authentic, life-giving ways—across the street and around the world—because you want to be ready, effective, bold, Spirit-led in the Kingdom of God—and you're not willing to leave people in spiritual darkness just because they didn't get a chance.
(And you could learn it on your own time, when you have the time, with lifetime access, and a guide)
I invite you to join:
Who is this course really for?
You're a world changer with no shortage of ambition, who lights up in other cultures, motivated to do your part in reaching the nations, wherever you live.
You don't want another conference, or group training that you can't put into practice right away, and you can't re-watch when you need it. You want step-by-step, how-to, practical training that you can do on your own time, and re-watch as you practice a little at a time, over a lifetime.
YOU COULD ALSO BE:
- A business person, a mom, or retiree and want to make a hands-on difference in the nations from your home country.
- A (future) cross-cultural worker heading overseas and want to do HERE what you'll be doing THERE, first (or maybe you're already there).
- A global or missions leader at a church and want to use this course to train your Welcomers, Short-termers, or Long-termers well.
- A non-profit staff person mobilizing others and you want to do what you're asking others to do.
Imagine you're in the Revelations 5:9 scene, shoulder to shoulder with friends from other languages, countries, and nations. Because you had the courage and confidence (and the time in your everyday life) to invite them to follow Jesus in a way they could accept it.
When you finish The Neighbors & Nations Course, you will have...
-
Surveyed and prayed over your area
—so you know exactly where people from unreached people groups live, work and play. -
Found new friends from spiritually strategic countries and deepened the ones you have
—instead of waiting to reach the world "when you move overseas". -
Started dozens of authentic spiritual conversations in an integrated lifestyle
—with ease and confidence learning how to offer the Kingdom of God well. -
Experienced unique, cross-cultural stories to tell—
that feel just like you traveled to another country (can anyone say 'foodie?') -
Read the Bible, offered Good News, and prayed with Muslims, Hindus or Buddhists
—and your neighbors and family and trained other Christians to do it too. -
Welcomed International Students, Refugees, and Asylum Seekers in a 'Matthew 25' way—
because you want to practically love 'the foreigner in our midst' with actions in addition to your words. -
Experienced deep levels of spiritual closeness to God—
because you're praying in new ways, like physical and inner healing prayers, and doing things with God you never thought you could do. -
It's absolutely possible that people with the LEAST ACCESS to Jesus Christ will find freedom, peace, and new life in the Kingdom of God
—because of your willingness and obedience combined with God's faithfulness.
Not only is all of this possible, I’ll walk you step-by-step to set you up for success in EIGHT WEEKS (with access to me and a virtual community for an entire YEAR).
I feel equipped and empowered...this is hands on stuff.
MEET Joy S Mom of four, refugee friend-maker
I did not know how to present the Gospel to my Muslim friends who lived near me. I felt unequipped, powerless, and unqualified—struggling and longing to be a walking talking Gospel that would flow out of me effortlessly—but not knowing how to get there.
After these eight weeks, I feel like a completely different person. I feel happy, hopeful, and challenged. I’m so excited to have a PLAN (which relieves so much stress)—and it’s DOABLE in baby steps.
I have several international friends I’ve invested in during the course—and this course equipped and empowered me to have confidence and be more bold.
It’s definitely worth the time, money and effort. Jeanne Marie has put together the most practical course ever. It's a game changer. Also, not a lot of reading—which is different than most courses that are more academic. This is hands on stuff.
Big missions concepts brought down to street level.
Matt C. Executive Pastor of All Nations
I enrolled in The Neighbors & Nations Course to evaluate it as a resource for our organization—knowing the stellar product that is Across the Street and Around the World, on which the course is based.
Jeannie Marie is gifted. She managed to take Perspectives, TOAG Internship, and Spiritual Multiplication in the Real World and communicate it all at a super easy-to-digest level for people. For real. Gifted. And on top of that a thousand practical hands on "to do's".
I now have far more practical steps to take (the 45 spiritual starter questions were amazing). I’ve asked a friend to read the Bible with me, which felt awkward to do before this course. He agreed to read and he suggested his whole family be there.
I also shared resource ideas with people I mobilize and our staff. Jeannie Marie is the BEST at taking some of the big mission concepts and bringing them down to street level.
Make disciples cross-culturally with ease, empathy, and confidence—in a wholistic, authentic way—with spiritual purpose, lots of cultural adventures, and priceless eternal impact.
The Neighbors & Nations Course is everything you need to:
- Reach the nations near you.
- Make disciples NOW, right where you live.
- Offer Jesus to those with least access: Muslims, Hindus, and Buddhists.
- Become a world-changing cross-cultural catalyst in your everyday life.

I wanted to do what I was telling others to do.
Vicky L. Ex-corporate girl turned Mobilization Administrator for the missions network supporting hundreds of Brethren in Christ churches
I did the Sneak Peek to try out the course and I loved it. I was like, “Where’s the rest?! I want the rest!”
The last few years God put unreached people groups on my heart. I’ve wrestled with the fact that I recruit and train people to go do these things in other countries, and I’m not even doing these things myself. I just felt convicted—in a good way—that I need to step up my game. I don’t want to just tell people, “You go do that—but I’m not going to.”
The course is awesome. Jeannie Marie just breaks it down so simply. I always felt like I didn’t know where to start.
I have now engaged in spiritual conversations, shared Bible stories and studied the Bible with some two Muslims.
Ekora J. Global South bi-vocational discipler from Uganda.
***Students who pay in full, scholarship Global South students like Ekora***
The course is very practical and equipping for cross cultural engagements with a wonderful path, and a resourceful trainer. The instruction is simple and easy to understand and follow.
The blends of the course format of the short brief, download .pdf guides, and the video made the course enjoyable.
I feel equipped now to engage any international with the Gospel. My approach now is very welcoming and attention is being realized from the internationals.
Module Three stood out for me in that it helps to deal with the messes created by the earlier missionaries who offered western cultures other than only Jesus.
Here's a Peek of What's Inside
Module one
finding people from other countries near you
I know exactly where most zealous world-changers get stuck. (It's getting started!)
In this module, we're going to crush it with the reason most people don't have success—they don't have enough friends from unreached people groups.
You'll be that. strategic. person. who actually KNOWS where people from spiritually strategic countries live near you—asking others and God what he's already doing—and a pro at getting to the elusive hello.

Module two
entering other cultures well
Nothing is more disappointing than finally getting a few friends from other cultures, but then the relationship sizzles out because you made a few cultural blunders you didn't even know about (or you didn't learn to find time in your busy life).
It's not that these international-friend-makers don't want to cross into someone else's VERY different world—they just don't know how, or how to make it sustainable and integrated into everyday life.
Fortunately, there's a better way.
In this module, I'll teach you an important mindset, FIVE lifestyle habits so busyness doesn't stop you and FOUR cultural tips you can use anywhere with anyone.

Module three
offering Jesus in a winsome way
Now that you have a few international friends, and your life is shifting to enter their culture well, it’s time to introduce them to Jesus in a way that draws them to meaningfully consider God’s good news for them.
Here you’ll develop an irresistible path to an irresistible Jesus and his Kingdom as the backbone of everything you do with ANYONE for months and years to come.
You will finally feel confident to authentically introduce the wonderful, compelling Good News to people from different backgrounds than you (and your neighbors and your own family too!)

Module four
praying effectively with people
This module is worth the cost of admission all on its own.
I’ve experienced hundreds of tearful thanks from these kinds of prayers God led me to pray with people—for encouragement and for healing—both physical and emotional.
God really does LOVE to set people free from the kingdom of darkness into the kingdom of light when we pray blessings over people—or pray for healing.
After you watch me model FOUR types of prayers, you will RUN to the nearest person you can find to “see if it works” (it does) and bask in God sightings all day long for the rest of your life.This module is Holy Spirit country.

Module five
practicing discipleship tools
80% of the spiritual work you’ll do to grow your friends into the Kingdom of God comes here.
Yet, most people stop right before the kind of things I teach in this module and say, “that’s good enough”, “it’s too much work”, “I'm not gifted enough”.
If you close up shop after a yummy biryani dinner with a friend, you’re leaving an open-hearted almost-in-the-kingdom person sitting just outside the Kingdom City gates.
In this module, I’ll get you started on the simple but powerful practices that will grow you into a lifelong disciple maker who makes disciples who makes their own disciples.

BONUS EXTRA Module six
serving international students, refugees and asylum seekers
Here's where we dive into practically SERVING three groups of vulnerable foreigners in our midst.
MOST people from unreached people groups in your home country will either be immigrants—or they’ll be part of the BIG THREE: International Students, Resettled Refugees, or Asylum Seekers.
This BONUS module shows you how to get started serving in a simple, fun and excuse-free way, so that the Kingdom of God comes to earth with your helpful hands, in addition to the wise words from your mouth you learned in the last module.

Student Transformation Stories
Rena G, Author and Speaker. "I feel more equipped to share about the Kingdom of God with Muslims, Hindus, and Buddhists. I want to go through the Course again! I've been teaching online with people in Pakistan, and this Course changed how I do this. Hallelujah, people came to faith through my telling my Transformation story!"
Iris L, Preparing to move overseas "I’m equipped with so much new information -- immediately applicable. It energized me with more of a "can do" Don't hesitate to take the Course! If you do what Jeannie Marie says, you will be able to do what she does. It's genuine, and the practical tips and wisdom are lived-out both in the past—and in the present—in Jeannie's life."
Judy M: Career cross-cultural worker of 37 years "My heart has always been for reaching lost people but all these years, I just never really knew how to do it. This Course has also broken down fear barriers that I had. And I'm saying, I'm 66-years old, I'm still your feet, your hands, wherever you want me."
Ekora J: Disciplemaker from Uganda "The course is very practical and equipping for cross cultural engagements with a wonderful path, and a resourceful trainer. The instruction is simple and easy to understand and follow. I have now shared Bible stories and studied the Bible with some two Muslims. I feel equipped now to engage any international with the Gospel.
Student Transformation Stories
Kathryn W: Full time worker with asylum seekers and immigrants. "I’ve grown in how to share stories from the Bible, and answer questions in ways that help continue, rather than shut down the conversation."
David B: University Professor "I’m equipped with so much new information -- immediately applicable. It energized me with more of a "can do" feeling. I took pages of notes along the way.
Jennifer B: Stay-at-home mom of twin babies "This Course is easily one of the best purchases I've EVER made. I've so longed to do exactly what you are teaching but was SO afraid and really had no idea how to even begin."
Jon B: Business Professional "I can now confidently talk to Muslims about Isa al Masih and tell them boldly that He is for Muslims too. You really cleared up all the questions I had."
Even more Student Transformation Stories
Jan G: Cross-cultural overseas worker with refugees "A big THANK YOU for offering this course! I struggled to make a decision, but the fact that I could go at my own pace was one deciding factor. I was a little scared off by the price, but after seeing how much work you had put into it, I chose to see this as an investment in the Kingdom! So glad I did.
Robert B: Teacher from Canada "I discovered that making friends and meeting internationals doesn't have to be that hard, and even asking someone to do a Bible Study is pretty simple. In essence, it took away some of the fear that was involved here. I was less convinced that I could make a difference as well before taking this Course."
Kathy T: Grew up on an Iowa farm: "I wanted to learn to be a seed sharer of the gospel. I had extra time. And I do not want to be so chicken. Now, I am more confident and bold with my neighbors. For those of you on the fence, you will be challenged, encouraged, and blessed if you take this Course.
Gary F: Pastor "I had read Jeannie's book, and it was good. But this...it is not too much to say it was life-changing. I have multiple new friends from Buddhist, Muslim, and Hindu backgrounds, going intentionally and regularly into the international apartments, inviting others to join me, and sharing the tools and confidence that I learned from Jeannie."
People have eternal souls. No more people NOT GETTING a CHANCE to follow Jesus Christ on my watch.
I personally cannot wait to guide you in this journey...
Diving into making disciples cross-culturally literally changed my life.
God became real to me. Cross-cultural adventures became a regular part of my life. I found my purpose.
Our home filled with international students from India and Saudi Arabia—and resettled refugees from Iraq—and eventually, as sometimes happens, my husband and our four kids changed our address to India to live, work and love in a city of a million unreached and unengaged Muslims.
Even though we're back from India, God still says, Jeannie, you're not done. I want you to be a voice, a guide, a light to show others how to make disciples of all the nations—just like others taught you.
So, here I am.
I'd love to walk with you, and those in your churches and organizations, so you too, can live life on purpose, and perhaps invite some of those three billion people into the Kingdom of God—because you're simply willing to learn how.
Also, would you like to read my Statement of Faith from the church that I attend and learn more about me before enrolling?
