WHY JOIN US

The Global Mobilization Network (GMN) is unique in that it is a truly global network focused entirely on mobilizing the whole Church to reach the whole world. We exist as a platform to foster relationship building and ongoing communication, including the sharing of ideas and resources.

You matter: We exist as a neutral platform where the input and expertise of people with disparate views and backgrounds is shared to create the cross-fertilization that sparks insight and innovation. We believe that together we have better ideas, because ideas become better when we collaborate together. We exist to ensure connectedness even as we celebrate our differences. Your contribution is essential. This is your tribe!

We matter: We exist to affirm the call of all types of mission mobilizers and encourage greater cooperation among mobilizers from around the world. Our belief is that only together do we constitute the Body of Christ in the earth and only together do we possess the needed strategy and resources to see the whole Church mobilized to reach the whole world. This is our tribe!

Mission Matters: We exist to provide the continuing development of a theology and praxis of mission mobilization as well as to promote best practices distilled through the input of mobilizers from around the world. The stories, our success as well as our failures, new strategies and new resources for mission mobilization are shared. Our hope is that this “communication and cooperation” will result in mobilizing a global mission force finally capable of finishing the task for God’s glory among all peoples. This is His tribe!
