Isaiah 12:4 — “Make known among the nations what He has done”
We were given the command "Go"! I am not saying you must go unto the uttermost parts of the earth necessarily in body, but will you go to the ends of the world in your gifts, prayer and influence? As J. Hudson Taylor said, "You must go forward on your knees."
"Someone must sound the rallying call. Those who desire to see others trained, prepared and released to ministry are known as mobilizers. Mobilizers stir other Christians to active concern for reaching the world. They coordinate efforts between senders, the local churches, sending agencies, and missionaries on the field. Mobilizers are essential. To understand the role of mobilizers, think of World War II as a parallel. Only 10% of the American population went to the war. Of those, only 1% were actually on the firing lines. However, for them to be successful in their mission, the entire country had to be mobilized!" -Phil Parshall
Here are some ways to be a Mobilizers:
1. Pray!
I believe there is no better way to fight for His Kingdom than through prayer. You can sign up to receive prayer requests via e-mail from Gospel for Asia, International Mission Board, HeartCry, Compassion
2. Donate

3. Go!
"I have but one candle of life to burn, and I would rather burn it out in a land filled with darkness than in a land flooded with light" — John Keith Falconer
Pray and see if God is calling you to go and be a missionary. Maybe start out with a short-term mission trip or volunteer work with S.O.S. Ministries or Child Evangelism Fellowship
Please share any other ways you know to be mobilizers.
Acts 13:47, "For so the Lord has commanded us:
‘ I have set you as a light to the Gentiles,
That you should be for salvation to the ends of the earth.'"
