Never before has the phenomenon of mission mobilization been so broadly researched.

In a vein similar to Too Valuable To Lose and Worth Keeping, the World Evangelical Alliance Mission Commission commissioned a research team to investigate what motivates people into mission service from around the globe. Mobilization practitioners recorded, translated and transcribed hundreds of hours of interview dialogue that explored reasons for mission involvement from Eastern Europe, Western Europe, North and South America, Oceania, East Asia, South Asia and East Africa. The data was subsequently analyzed to draw out common themes, and Mission In Motion presents the results of this research.

This book is the first definitive exploration of the recent history, ministries and methods of mission mobilization. The evangelical missions community is expending much energy and resource trying to raise up workers for the Lord’s harvest, but is it helping? Are the means, models, methods, and mechanisms being applied to this end effective? What does influence people to greater involvement in mission—whatever they understand mission to be? Furthermore, what hinders it? In addressing these questions, Mission In Motion allows the interviewed respondents to speak for themselves, in an open and frank manner. Some results confirm common beliefs, but others may surprise you.

Industry Reviews

This research and reflection is a milestone in mission history and anyone keen to be involved or already involved in the ministry of mobilization must study this book.

-John Amalraj, Executive Secretary, Interserve India

This is an important book which will be a standard reference for practitioners, mobilizers and academics for years to come.

-Eddie Arthur, Director of Strategic Initiatives, Global Connections UK

Jesus said the laborers are few, pray therefore. I believe we have to have a prayer support group praying for missions mobilization, then we do as God directs and we will see fulfilment of multitudes going into missions.

-Loren Cunningham, Founder, Youth With A Mission, USA

This book is about aligning with the Lord's heart to see His Kingdom grow, and for God's people everywhere to be engaged in effective mission, locally and cross-culturally. Read it!

-Rose Dowsett, former Vice-Chair, WEA Mission Commission, UK
