Exciting mobilization is happening with local church partners of Compassion International-Philippines under the Agusan del Norte cluster. On January 23 to 27, selected project directors and case workers took the Kairos Course. It was a moment of reflection and affirmation that their work contributes to the Great Commission as they minister to the children. It […]
Keeping the Main Thing the Main Thing, in 2023
New year’s resolutions are a common talking point in early January of each year. They range from more prayer to weight loss and everything in between! But how about, for 2023, a special focus on ‘keeping the main thing the main thing’? Minoring on majors and majoring on minors is a recipe for, at worse, […]
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 […]

GDC: What Will Moving Forward Together Look Like?
Moving Forward Together was the theme of the Global Development Consultation (GDC) that was held online last August 8-12. This was a five-day event, attended by SM’s international leaders, global region leaders and their teams, and for the first time, our national leaders and their teams. It was a challenge to organize these meetings considering […]
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 […]
A New Approach
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.
