Disciple.Tools is a free, open-source contact and church-planting CRM built on WordPress for disciple-making movements.^1 A North Africa field team started it in 2013 after surveying 147 CRMs and finding none that stayed affordable as workers multiplied, simple for non-technical teams, and decentralized so no single host held every ministry's data.^2 They chose WordPress so ordinary developers could extend it, then released it for others to self-host.^2
The software tracks people from first conversation through baptism and groups from a forming circle to a church, with generation graphs and saturation heat maps that show where work is and is not happening.^1 Teams add custom tiles and fields, use roles such as Digital Responder, Dispatcher, and Multiplier, and write comments in any language—including Arabic and Persian—through community translation on Weblate.^3^5
Gospel Ambition, which also offers Prayer.Global, Zúme Training, and Kingdom.Training, stewards the project.^6 The software is free with unlimited users and records; teams pay only for WordPress hosting and may give if they choose.^7 Native iOS and Android apps remain listed but are no longer maintained; the team recommends the mobile web app.^8 International Mission Board workers have rolled it out across village and city teams.^1
