š Mobilizing students – John Lawal (Nigeria) ā Almost every major missions movement in modern times has been sparked by students and young people. How can we tap into the energy, vibrancy, creativity and huge population of the millions of Christian students in our universities and other institutions of higher learning?
š Mobilizing prayer – Winnie Ochieng Mwajuma (Kenya) ā Andrew Murray said āThe man whoĀ mobilizesĀ the Christian church to prayĀ willĀ make theĀ greatest contributionĀ toĀ world evangelizationĀ in history.ā Christians pray a lot. But how much of that is directed to Godās global purposes? When Godās people are awakened to intercede for a lost world, much can be accomplished in reaching the nations.
š Mobilizing women – Petersa Flaendorp (South Africa) ā Globally, majority of missionaries are women. But many more women in the church can contribute meaningfully in the spread of the gospel as goers, senders and member care providers. African women are a powerful force waiting to be engaged.
š Mobilizing older citizens – Funmi Adebayo (Nigeria) ā Caleb claimed mountains at 85 years of age. The retirement years can be converted into great opportunities for potent missions service. One agency tapping into the wisdom, experience, maturity and availability of older citizens shares how hundreds of aged folk are being mobilized to serve in diverse ways.
š Mobilizing church leaders ā Ruby Koomey-Sambolah (Liberia) ā Leaders of denominations, church networks and local assemblies hold the key to unleashing the vast potential of the āEkklesiaā, Godās people for Godās mission. But how can we engage with the āgate-keepersā in order to unleash this tidal wave of kingdom laborers, turning an audience into an army and ignite a burning passion for Godās global glory in every church?
š Mobilizing the diaspora – Eben Aryee (Ghana/UK) ā Someone has suggested the formula for mission as Revival + Migration = Mission. God is moving and dispersing people all over the world for the sake of the gospel. African Christian migrants are increasingly shaping the spiritual landscape in several host cultures. How can we join God to equip this moving workforce to live more missionally, as they go?
š Mobilizing professionals ā Gashahun Nemomsa (Ethiopia) ā Disciples in the marketplace are critical to engaging domains, transforming systems and penetrating certain missional contexts that may be āclosedā to traditional missionaries. How do we activate them to see beyond career prospects to using their professions as a platform for Godās mission, locally and globally?
š Mobilizing at the frontiers – David Kamotho (Kenya) ā Missionaries typically move from areas of high gospel concentration to low. But what if we intentionally envision, equip and enable believers who already live among or in close proximity to the unreached as students, government employees, business people and so on? We could easily multiply cross-cultural workers who are already familiar with the terrain.
š Mobilizing for missionary care – Jeremy Thomas (Mauritius) ā The mission workforce requires an army of member care-providers who serve with humility, skill and grace. A healthy missions movement out of Africa will require the mobilization of many to serve in member care roles in churches and agencies. Learn how you can be involved.
š Mobilizing local resources – Kehinde Ojo (Nigeria) ā In the past, money for missions has come largely from the more affluent nations. But God is changing that, breaking unhealthy dependency. Africa is blessed with a lot of resources that can be channeled into global mission. But we have to seize the opportunities and mobilize the finances locally. This session will inspire you.
