A Uruguayan-American purposes to say “yes” to God no matter the outcome. Sometimes small challenges and small acts of obedience can cause eternal ripple effects not just for the person mobilized, but also for the countless others he or she will impact. At least that’s the case for Danielle, a quiet young woman whose life was forever changed upon her hearing of God’s global purposes that reach far beyond herself. During a vision trip in January 2017, seven of us interested in joining the CMM Germany field team attended a church in the heart of downtown Frankfurt called Bethel IBC (since renamed to Multination Church). Frankfurt field team leader John Allert was invited to speak to the congregation and shared the vision of mobilization by sharing what God says in His Word, the current status of His world, and how we can participate with God in His work. Many people in attendance were so inspired that they wanted more, and we handed out copies of Xplore (our primary tool for mobilization) to those interested. Little did we know what this quick interaction would lead to in the future. Fast forward to Fall 2017. Our team was completed, fully funded, and then able to move to Frankfurt, Germany. As the team was settling in and visiting churches, we again visited Bethel IBC, this time meeting a 20-something Uruguayan-American named Danielle who was living in Frankfurt. One teammate, Betsy, exchanged contact information with her and arranged to meet up. At the first meeting, Danielle seemed open and willing to learn, but at first glance was not the type of person one...

Elizabeth lives in southeastern Nigeria. Her passion for educating children led her to start a private preschool and primary school in her city. Elizabeth also has a heart for peoples of the world who have no access to the good news of Jesus. She has always known that God had a role for her to play in reaching the unreached, but did not feel called to be a cross-cultural goer in the conventional sense. How could she get actively involved in reaching those who have not heard of Jesus? When Elizabeth heard that Weave’s BIG Story Training would be held in her city, she registered all the teachers in her school. As they learned about discipling children in God’s mission, it was obvious to Elizabeth that she had found something she was looking for. What would this look like in her context? The next school term, she added some interesting programs to the school calendar. One of these was “Nations Day” where all the kids were asked to dress in the attire of other nations. Elizabeth chose to emphasize countries with high concentrations of unreached people groups. During class, the students were taught about these countries and asked to get attire. In the process, their parents were also introduced to these countries. Elizabeth went beyond introducing the students to customs of other cultures. She also explained that some people have committed their lives to telling these nations about Jesus. She then gave the students an assignment. They were asked to write letters to people who work in or among others cultures to tell other kids about Jesus. Of course,...

Greetings friends! We hope you will take a few moments to look through our 2017 Year in Review and read stories of how we have encountered God’s favor through your prayers and support this year. Although we aren’t able to feature a story from every staff member, we think you’ll enjoy reading how our teams around the world are helping ignite mission sending movements to the unreached from Asia, Africa, and Latin America. Our staff labor to raise up more missionaries from these regions who go to the unreached, more World Christians who send them, and more mobilizers who multiply the vision. Thank you for taking the time to learn more about our ministry and helping us take the gospel to the unreached! —Steve Shadrach, Executive Director Check out the...

More than 2,000 years after Jesus commissioned His church to take the good news to the ends of the earth, the harvest is still great, and the laborers are still few. But we believe God is raising up a new generation of laborers to take his gospel to the unreached. Today, 80 percent of the evangelical church lives outside the West, in Asia, Africa, and Latin America. This powerful part of God’s church is surrounded by hundreds of millions of people with no access to the gospel. With fewer geographic, cultural, and linguistic barriers standing between them and the unreached, these believers are strategically poised to take the gospel to those who have never heard it. But right now, this 80 percent of God’s church sends less than 20 percent of the world’s missionaries. By God’s grace, the Center for Mission Mobilization is coming alongside the global church in Africa, Asia, Europe, the Middle East, and Latin America to help God’s people reach their incredible potential to share the gospel with entire people groups across the world who are unreached. With frontier mobilization teams strategically located throughout these regions, we are helping disciple African, Asian, Arab, and Latino believers to engage with the unreached around them—and ultimately see indigenously led mission sending movements to the unreached. With over 3 billion people still unreached with the gospel, the task is too small to do alone. We believe it will take all of God’s people working together to reach all of God’s world. Pray with us to see more mobilizers in the global church, more mission sending movements to the unreached,...

Greetings, friends! We are excited to share with you stories of God’s fruit. We are God’s workforce and can do plenty of great activity, but the credit for the fruit of changed lives belongs to the Lord. Our ultimate goal at the Center for Mission Mobilization is the worship of Jesus Christ. With the number of unreached vastly outweighing the number of long-term missionaries we have dedicated ourselves to mobilization, igniting mission sending movements to reach those who have not heard. We just released 2016’s annual Year in Review, and hope you will take a few short moments to look at the ways which we have encountered the favor of Jesus all over the world this year. Thank you for laboring with us in bringing the gospel to the unreached! – Steve Shadrach, Executive Director Check out the...
