Navigators

The Navigators is an international Christian ministry founded in 1933 by Dawson Trotman. Initially focused on discipleship among U.S. Navy sailors, its mission is to know Christ, make Him known, and help others do the same. The organization emphasizes personal spiritual growth and mentorship through a relational approach known as Life-to-Life® discipleship. The Navigators offers various discipleship programs that focus on one-on-one and small-group mentorship, incorporating Scripture memorization, prayer, and practical faith application. Its training resources include the 2:7 Series, a Bible study curriculum used by millions in local churches. The ministry also has a publishing arm, NavPress, which produces books, study guides, and devotionals to support spiritual growth. With a presence in over 100 countries, The Navigators sends missionaries to foster discipleship in diverse cultural contexts, continuing its commitment to multiplying discipleship through volunteer-driven outreach and partnerships with local churches.
