Missions Mobilization continues to build connections offering opportunities for churches to become engaged in every region of the world. The focus is for churches to adopt unreached people groups, unreached cities, or an international missionary. Let us know how we can assist your church.

Welcome to the exciting journey of Missions Mobilization. Engaging through volunteer missions has at its heart bringing the Kingdom to all people.

Missions Mobilization exists for the purpose of mobilizing volunteers, connecting resources, and developing worldwide networks of mission engagement. The accomplishment of our purpose will be the result of viewing the world with an eye of discovery, partnering with multiple identities, facilitating cross-cultural learning, and offering celebrative experiences of what God has done.
