What is Mission Mobilization?
• Mobilization:– Engaging, equipping and connecting believers
worldwide to their most strategic role in completing the Great Commission (Eph 4:12)
• Two fold purpose:– More workers to the harvest (Matt 9:37)
– Calling believers into God’s mission (John 4:34, Matthew 28:19-20, Rev 7:9)

Levels of Mobilization• Level 1 – General Mobilization
– Focus is on worldview - awareness, education, and lifestyle– Goal: World Christians
• Level 2 – Specific Mobilization– Focus is on ministry preparation for specific roles
(going, welcoming, praying, mobilizing)– Goal: Equipped laborers
• Level 3 – Ministry Mobilization– Focus is on pairing up people with opportunities
(mission agency recruiters)– Goal: Most strategic role in completing the Great Commission

World Christian
Heart• Love for God and others
Head• Word: God’s global purpose through scripture
• World: Status of the world (unreached)
Hands• Work: Send, Pray, Welcome
Some will Go. Mobilizers produce more World Christians

Need for General Mobilization
• Wycliffe mobilizer regarding partnership with general mobilization efforts, “all ships rise with the tide”
• More World Christians & Mobilization =
– Sustaining effort of more translators, church planters, prayer warriors, financial support

General Mobilization
• Worldview– Focus is on awareness, education, training
– Often takes place through events (teaching, preaching)
– Perspectives, Kairos, seminars, conferences, books
• Lifestyle– Focus is on application, discipleship based approach to
lifestyle change
– Often takes place in relational ministry (discipleship)
– Rarely being done

Frontier Mobilization
• Gobilize– Mobilizers: “wanting to go, but willing to stay”
– Gobilizers: mobilizers that go
• Frontier Missions: Sending missionaries to the frontiers where Christ is not known (unreached)
• Frontier Mobilization: Sending mobilizers to the frontiers where there is little to no mission (unsent)

Status of Mission Sending
What are the some of the important measures for mission sending?
1. # of cross-cultural missionaries being sent
2. Indigenous funding – workers supported by Christians from sending country
3. Attrition – Keeping workers on the field

Mobilization Index
• Cross cultural missionaries sent by country
– # sent to reached (internal – within same country)
– # sent to unreached (internal)
– # sent to reached (external)
– # sent to unreached (external)

Why are we undertaking this?
• Personal reasons
– CMM wants to strategically send out gobilizers
– Where is the greatest need and opportunity for mobilization?
![Page 21: Introductions - Amazon S3 · Introductions Steve Shadrach Executive Director, CMM 1981-2000: Student Mobilization ... - Myanmar.

Why are we undertaking this?
• Beneficial for global body of Christ– Mission sending
• We are still sending missionaries to places that are ready to be the mission force, not the mission field
– Mission mobilization • Mobilizers need to think of the greatest need globally,
just as they ask missionaries to do
– Mission strategy• Need to have mobilization strategy integrated with
church planting and prayer mobilization strategies

Opportunity and Need
• Unsent – glass half empty
– Huge disparity between the number of Christians and number of missionaries
• Opportunity – glass half full
– Huge potential mission forces untapped
– Great opportunity for mobilization
– Great opportunity for new sending agencies

Mobilization Index
• What is a good benchmark for sending?– 0.1% is a baseline (1 out of 1,000 evangelicals)
• What data currently exists?– Very little hard data
– Operation World (1999 and 2010)
– Others are estimates or do not differentiate between evangelical and non-evangelical branches

The Research
• Transforming Information (Chris Maynard)• Operation World – preliminary research• GMI• Delphi Method:
– Getting consensus from panel of “experts”– Proof of concept with East Africa and Brazil
Mobilization Index scope: – 56 countries of 1 million evangelicals that covers 95% of
the global church– “Country experts” and funding will be needed($25,000)

Internal Sending
• Research by Todd Johnson, author of Atlas of Global Christianity, has shown that 7.5% of the world’s missionaries are sent to the least-evangelized peoples, and national missionaries sending within their home country have the same low percentage of 7.5% that are sent to the least-evangelized peoples. – International Bulletin for Missionary Research, Jan 2012

Preliminary Insights of Research
• Research showed that external sending (outside one’s country) aligned with the nation’s prosperity index (prosperity.com)
• Sending internally had no correlation with a nation’s prosperity or economy
• Conclusions: Higher mobilization potential if nation has large unreached population or high prosperity

Barriers to Mission Sending
• Lack of mobilization: baton has not been passed – Incomplete discipleship
– Former mission field should be the mission force
• Funding: too much dependency from outside
• Sending Structures: need more sending agencies in Africa, Asia, and Latin America
• Member Care: Problem of attrition– ReMAP, Too Valuable to Lose and Worth Keeping
