Everyone has a missions path, but someone has to help them find it. Mobilizers are used in the body of Christ to equip the entire body for the work of missions. While only a select few go on the field, everyone can play a supporting role. Mobilizers disciple others in missions effectiveness, call the church to is biblical role, equip others with resources and help them overcome any hurdles they may have. The work of missions is not easy, but mobilizers can help make the path straight.

Mop192 Church Partnership in Missions - 6 Encouraging Trends
Friday Mar 29, 2024
Friday Mar 29, 2024
We have much to praise God for when considering how churches are increasingly stepping up to take their rightful place being responsible for global missions. We see God growing churches to become sending churches, and there are many organizations that are teaching this and supporting this now. Please continue to pray that this paradigm shift in thinking about missions as church-centered would grow from a groundswell into a full on tidal wave of change in how most churches and agencies do missions. And thank God that we are already seeing that conviction take root in several ways now. Listen to this episode to hear a run down of several organizations that are on the right track. And leave a comment on the podcast if you can think of any more.

MoP191 Church Partnerships in Missions - 5 The Church Partnership Agreement
Friday Mar 22, 2024
Friday Mar 22, 2024
The church, the missions agency and the missionary all need to work together to accomplish the mission. Who bears what responsibility? How can we manage expectations? And most importantly, how can we maintain the biblical conviction of keeping the church in the driver's seat? Furthermore, how can we resolve conflicts when disagreements about or divergence from expectations arise? In this episode we walk through a proposed template for a church and agency partnership agreement. Feel free to adapt it as you like, because your church and the mission's needs will vary from situation to situation.

MoP190 Church Partnerships in Missions - 4 For the Missions Agency
Friday Mar 15, 2024
Friday Mar 15, 2024
Over the years, missions agencies and churches have diverged from each other and often find themselves at odds. But, missions agencies provide a unique role in fostering church partnerships. First, agencies must recognize how they have succumbed to mission creep, no long supporting the church like they originally intended. Second, missions agencies can equip the church for their role. Third, they can let go of those roles that most appropriately belong under the domain of the local church. Furthermore, missions agencies foster church partnerships too, through prioritizing prayer and facilitating the gathering of churches around the mission that they are partnering in.

MoP189 Church Partnerships in Missions - 3 For the Church
Friday Mar 08, 2024
Friday Mar 08, 2024
No matter what kind of church you are, there is value in establishing church partnerships in the work of missions. Three kinds of churches are explored in this episode: the sending church, the supporting church, and the receiving church. Each kind of church has a unique interest in church partnerships. Churches need other churches. Just like the Gentile churches sent support to the church in Jerusalem, we too need to be aware of and ready to help other churches in need. And who knows, one day we might find ourselves on the receiving end of care as well.
