Preparing For The First School For Mobilizers (SfM)
August 2024
As previously announced, the inaugural School for Mobilizers (or Mobi School) will take place at the Simply Mobilizing International (SMI) Center in Butuan City, Philippines, from August 3 to September 20, 2025. A dedicated team of leaders has converged at the SMI Center to make key preparations for this trial run. The team includes Max and Dorothy from New Zealand, Geof and Marion from Australia, Erika and Marinda from South Africa, and Ting from the Philippines.
The Mobi School will be a three-month intensive training program, divided into a classroom part and a practical part. The classroom part will consist of a seven-week full-time, live-in study at the SMI Center, with participants coming from various global regions and countries. The practical part will be conducted in the students’ home countries, under the supervision of their respective National Coordinators (NCs) and National Coordinating Teams (NCTs).
Slots are beginning to fill up, and the SMI team and staff are buzzing with excitement as preparations are underway. The preparations extend beyond just the curriculum and program; the facilities are also being readied to welcome students for their seven-week stay. This period will be a time of ‘coming aside’ to learn, spend time with the Lord, and connect with like-minded individuals passionate about mobilization. This training aims to inspire and equip participants to play a crucial role in reaping the greatest harvest of all time in this generation.
Max Chismon, International Director of Simply Mobilizing International, expressed his enthusiasm, stating, “We are so excited about the launch of the Mobi School! As a mobilizing movement, God has led us to this stage in our journey where well-taught, well-trained, and well-equipped mobilizers can begin to multiply and engage in strategic mobilization in so many regions and countries around the world.”
The Mobi School represents a significant milestone for Simply Mobilizing International. Equipping a new generation of mobilizers with comprehensive training and practical experience embodies our commitment to empower passionate mobilizers who will drive the movement forward – mobilizers who are poised to make a profound impact across many regions and countries, ultimately contributing to our mission of seeing every believer on mission with God and every church a missional church.
