This document discusses principles and perspectives on missions mobilization. It emphasizes that mobilization is the process of educating God's people about His plans for world evangelization and keeping them involved. Mobilizers inspire and connect individuals to strategic opportunities that align with God's global purpose. Effective mobilization requires dealing with deep roots like beliefs and worldviews, not just surface issues. Storytelling and meeting real needs are important for contextualization. The document presents principles for community development and mobilization, including starting small and letting ownership emerge locally.

2. Missions Mobilization
Perspectives and Principles

3. Jesus’ Mobilization Prayer
Therefore pray the Lord of the harvest to
send out laborers into His harvest.
Matthew 9:38 (NKJV)

4. God is the original sender…
the only “un-sent sender”

5. What role did Jesus and the
Holy Spirit have in your
mobilization into missions?

6. What role did an influential
person play in your
mobilization into missions?

7. A Mobilization Story

8. Mobilization Call - Isaiah 58
“Shout it aloud, do not hold back.
Raise your voice like a
trumpet.
Declare to my people their
rebellion
and to the descendants of
Jacob their sins.

9. Mobilization Call - Isaiah 58

10. What is your perspective on
Mobilization?

12. Mobilization!
Mobilization is the process of envisioning and
educating God's people about His strategic plans
for the world, and it is the means of keeping them
involved and moving forward until they find their
specific place and role in world evangelization.

13. Your Perspective
Why is Mobilization
important?

14. Everybody Plays!

15. • Reaching Individuals
• Starting Movements to Jesus
• Transforming Nations

16. Nation?
“But you are a chosen people, a royal
priesthood, a holy nation, a people belonging
to God”
-1 Peter 2:9

17. It takes a “nation”
to disciple a “nation”

18. The Whole Church bringing
the Whole Gospel to the
Whole World…

19. Jesus’ Mobilization Prayer
Therefore pray the Lord of the harvest to
send out laborers into His harvest.
Matthew 9:38 (NKJV)

20. Mobilizers!
Mobilizers inspire, mentor and connect
individuals to strategic opportunities to
live and work within God’s global
purpose.

21. Mobilizers!
Mobilizers stir other Christians to active concern
for reaching the world. They coordinate efforts
between senders, the local churches, sending
agencies, and missionaries on the field.
Mobilizers are essential.

22. Mobilizers!
Mobilizers are those who channel key resources,
training, and vision for world evangelization to the
Body of Christ. It has been said, that to improperly
appreciate and support the role of the mobilizer is
to seriously hinder the functions of the goer,
sender, and welcomer.

23. Discipleship = Mobilization

24. Bridge People

Our Church
Our City

25. Bridge People

26. FIRE!

27. Everybody Plays!

28. The Whole Church!
In the twenty-first century, it is important to realize that the
responsibility for reaching Muslims, Hindus and Buddhists is
too large for the missionary enterprise. While missionaries will
always be at the forefront of innovative strategies, the whole
Church needs to participate in inviting people of other faiths to
consider Jesus Christ. - Todd Johnson

29. Majority World Mobilization
God is transforming the “mission
field" into the “mission force”

30. Majority World Mobilizers!

32. CSGC Report
"of the ten countries sending the most
missionaries in 2010…
three were in the global South: Brazil, South
Korea, and India."

33. Global Missions

34. Student Volunteer Movement
The SVM mobilized
approximately 20,000
missionaries to the
field and 80,000
supporters

35. Mott and Speer
Probably no two people in
history are traceably responsible
for more missionaries going to
the field than John R. Mott and
Robert E. Speer

36. Why Are Mission Mobilizers Crucial?
Local Churches Need Skilled Heart Transplants
A mission mobilizer owes it to the church and the
nations to acquire the skill and knowledge
necessary to help do an effective heart transplant
of vision and understanding.

37. Why Are Mission Mobilizers Crucial?
Romans 10:15 asks this question:
“…And how can anyone preach
unless they are sent?”

38. Who has the beautiful feet?

39. Why Are Mission Mobilizers Crucial?
More go’ers (preachers) requires more
senders
Mobilizers envision, equip and connect both
the go’ers (preachers) and the senders

40. Prioritizing the Unreached
“All men are equally lost but not all men are
equally needy” - Dr Ralph Winter
Triage = evaluate and prioritize where the
need is greatest

41. Fewer Mobilizers = Fewer Missionaries
But there would be few missionaries unless
there were also intensely committed and
skilled mobilizers.

42. Engle Scale

45. The Dark side of
Mobilization?

46. Which Tree?

47. Love vs. Judgement
Love is the central command in Scripture and judgment the
central prohibition. Indeed, judgment is the “original sin” in
Scripture.
This is why the forbidden tree in the center of the garden…was
called the “Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil”.
― Gregory A. Boyd, Repenting of Religion

48. Love vs. Judgment
Our fundamental sin is that we place ourselves in the position
of God and divide the world between what we judge to be good
and what we judge to be evil. And this judgment is the primary
thing that keeps us from doing the central thing God created
and saved us to do, namely, love like he loves.
― Gregory A. Boyd, Repenting of Religion

49. Love Judgement

50. You Could Be Right…
It might be true that the community you are trying
to mobilize is selfish and lazy…
but mobilizing with judgment will not bring life!

51. What does it look like
to mobilize from the
Tree of Life?

53. Can You Really Love Jesus
and Hate the Church?

54. The Bride of Christ
Jesus loves His Bride!

55. The Bride of Christ
His intent was that now, through the church, the
manifold wisdom of God should be made known
to the rulers and authorities in the heavenly
realms. (Ephesians 3:7-12)

56. Jesus please help us see
your Bride from your
perspective!

When you enter a house, first say, `Peace to this

house, eating and drinking whatever they give you,
for the worker deserves his wages. Do not move
around from house to house. - Luke 10:5-6

How, then, can they call on the one they have not believed in?
And how can they believe in the one of whom they have not
heard?
And how can they hear without someone preaching to them?
And how can they preach unless they are sent?”

those who bring good news of good things!”
