Multiply vs Download Youth Ministry

DYM sells a year of teaching as credits to spend in its Coleader library. Multiply is one year, already planned, with no credits to count and nothing that expires.

Why Multiply

No credits to spend or lose

Coleader gives you credits that expire after 365 days. Multiply gives you the year.

Why Multiply

A year that is already planned

Twelve series in order, four season focuses and an annual planner, so you are not choosing a series every month.

Why Multiply

Download it and it is yours

Files on your own computer, not a platform you present from.

Side by Side

What a year of each gives you. Multiply is $100 off until December 1.
