Over recent centuries, the development and refining of missiology has helped the Church focus on the missional task at hand. It may have begun in the colonial context with a geographical focus but has been considerably refined in recent decades to direct our attention to people groups and today to the more than 7,000 people […]

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 […]
Mobilizers – Preparing a People for Eternity
This ‘age’ is as much about the perfecting of the Church as it is about making disciples of all nations! An idea, we Mobilizers, often neglect at our peril! These two great themes run like parallel tracks throughout scripture! God taking out of the world a people for His name (Ac 15: 13-18) and God perfecting […]
Mobilization – As a Journey
Mobilization is a journey, not an event. Seminars, courses and other mobilization programs are the events. The journey into active and fruitful participation in the world Christian movement is a journey that demands many ‘events’ and a lot of personal processing of what these events provide, in the form of new information and challenges. […]
Understanding the Nature of Missions Today
Never before in mission history has the world existed as it does today – never before have the opportunities for harvest been so favorable, and never before has the need for mobilization been so urgent! Through the amazing efforts of the missionaries laboring in the first and second eras of the modern missionary movement (1792 – […]
Is this the Most Inspired Idea to Accelerate Missions Today?
The world Christian movement is my term of choice to describe God’s agenda for this age and therefore the Church’s all consuming occupation on planet earth! World means it is a global, Christian means it is all to do with Christ’s Kingdom and movement refers to the spread and advance of Christ’s Kingdom in ever widening circles to […]
Mobilizers and the ‘Go’ in the Great Commission
Peter Wagner points out that the main verb in the Great Commission is ‘make disciples’ (Mt 28:18-20). However the first verb to appear in the Great Commission is ‘GO! Making disciples, of all nations, for sure, is not possible without the ‘going’. For apostles/ charged with taking the gospel to regions beyond/ this is never […]
The Ministry of Mobilization — A Summary
MOBILIZATION’ is the most helpful term to describe the ministry of the prophet in both Old and New Testaments. Over the past months I have been writing on the subject of ‘The Ministry of Mobilization.’ I have endeavored to explain, as clearly as I could, the biblical, historical and current significance of this ministry – how God used […]
Understanding the Foundation Upon Which the Church is Built
Paul is very clear – Jesus Christ is the foundation upon which the Church is built (1Co 3:11). He elaborates further, however, when writing to the Ephesian believers and explains that Jesus is the chief cornerstone, and apostles and prophets are included in forming that all important foundation upon which the Church is built (Eph […]
The Time is NOW
One of the many things Mobilizers have in common with each other is the unshakeable belief that the time for God’s people to be actively engaged in the world Christian movement is NOW! Jesus was emphatic in his declaration that the time is NOW. “Do you not say, ‘Four months more and then the harvest’? […]
