This year, our International Conference was a very special celebration of what God has done all over the world through the ministry of mobilization. I recall arriving at the 2008 conference with one question: how might we introduce the Kairos course to Venezuela? In stark contrast, I arrived at this year’s conference thanking God for […]

Divine Appointments While on Mission with God
The Western Africa team have been advocating for the Mobi 101 seminar as a pre-course to the Kairos FTC. We also felt the need to replace the FTC at the end of the Kairos course with the Mobi 101 seminar. I tried this approach once in Ghana. I decided to wait for two more trials to be able to give this new approach a fair assessment.

A Christmas Message
The 25th December is a very special day for each one of us, as we think of and celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ. Jesus’ life has had a profound impact on the world (so much more than most non-Christians will admit). He lived a life of integrity, daily submitting himself to God, and doing […]
Prayer and our Role as Mobilizers
As God writes the final chapter of human history before Christ’s return, do you sense that God is getting ready for an amazing harvest? Many of us have been inspired by Edwin Orr’s video ‘The Role of Prayer in Spiritual Awakenings’. I particularly love the story of young Evan Roberts asking his Bible College principal […]
On Trial: New Translation Trainings
This April, we facilitated a Kairos class in western Ukraine for war refugees. These people had escaped from Kharkov and Mariupol, places of terrible fighting, destruction, and danger. Kairos focuses on God’s good and unstoppable plan to reach the nations with the Gospel and emphasizes reaching unreached people groups.
Interestingly, Kairos was a wonderful form of healing and therapy for these refugees. Tracing God’s powerful hand working all through history to spread the glory of the Gospel through all the earth inspires and comforts. Even this war is not randomly evil nor unredeemable. God is fulfilling His purposes to spread the Good News of His Son throughout the earth.

South East Asia, South Asia, Europe, Eurasia, MENA, East Africa, North America and Latin America […]
Transforming Weed Patches: Reflections on God-Given Giftedness
For each one of us, 2020 has been very different from what we had expected. We were all going ahead with various plans we had made for the year, and then city by city, country by country, things began to change. It’s a great example of what Ralph Winter refers to as a ‘new chronology’. […]
