Engaging
FAMILIES God uses children and families in significant ways to further His kingdom and spread His glory throughout the earth. We serve family ministry leaders by providing inspiration, training, and translated resources that equip parents to disciple their children to a faith that has action and vision for unreached people.

2016 Successes
Derrick: Zambia We met Derrick last March at a Big Story training in Kenya. The Big Story training helps pastors and parents see children as partners in ministry rather than objects of ministry. Derrick saw the potential for exponential mobilization, with the family as a nucleus. He returned home to Zambia and immediately began to change the culture of his church. After sharing the training with his wife, they mobilized twenty other families and their children. These families were then challenged to go and do the same. The potential for growth in Zambia and surrounding regions is now unfathomable as those twenty multiply. Some names and faces have been changed throughout for security purposes.
++ Big Story training: Led seven Big Story trainings in Zambia, Sri Lanka, Nigeria, and Malawi. ++ Translation: Began translation of the Big Story training and other resources in Amharic, Tamil, and Sinhalese. ++ Training trainers: Equipped 39 nationals to lead the Big Story training and train others in their region.
2017 Goals ++ Training leaders: Train non-Western church leaders in five new countries to mobilize families and their churches to engage in global missions to the unreached. ++ Translation partnerships: Continue leveraging translations to deliver training and resources in heart languages. ++ Weave Phase 2: Shift Weave from a national to an international ministry.
Equipping
STUDENTS College students and young adults worldwide are the most recruitable, trainable, and sendable people on the planet. Through large group trainings, small group studies, and one-on-one disciple-making, college students are seeing their plans for the future collide with God’s purpose for themselves and the unreached.
Patrick and Marcus: Kenya A group of Kenyan college students, mentored by CMM frontier mobilizer Gabe Howard, have been ministering to Muslims and Hindus in their city. Almost immediately after Gabe led them through Xplore, these students began to foster God’s heart for the world with equal intensity. They began to fast every Wednesday afternoon, giving the lunch money they would have used to support a local missionary. They also began leading three other Xplore groups among their peers.

CMM Teams + SE ASIA 2015 Global Mobilization Consultation, Nairobi, Kenya
As countries in Africa, Asia, and Latin America grow their missions sending, our staff work to connect regional leaders, share resources, and provide training, mentoring and friendship. Our desire is to help foster ongoing mobilization and mission sending movements to the unreached.
Ananda: Indonesia The Lord is answering our prayers for more laborers in Indonesia, home to both the world’s largest Muslim population as well as millions of Christians. Ananda, whom we have been working with for five years, sent a delegation from his Indonesian mission organization to the Global Mobilization Consultation. During the GMC, they felt led to host their own mobilization conference the following month and trained 160 local leaders. They have launched 25 mobilizers throughout Indonesia and have taken over 2,000 Indonesians through Xplore and Go Mobilize, some of which have specifically committed to going to unreached people groups!

Mobilization
RESOURCES One of the biggest barriers national mobilizers face is lack of access to resources and training. Our two flagship resources, Xplore and Go Mobilize, have been downloaded for free in over 100 countries, and we’ve seen firsthand the impact they can have. Also, through Campus Ministry Today, we are actively encouraging college ministers to get back to the basics of evangelism, disciple-making, and mission mobilization. Lastly, through Support Raising Solutions, we train ministry workers to raise support so that money is not a barrier to flooding the nations with missionaries.
Lihua: China Lihua, our first Chinese staff member, has been reaching out to a Tibetan community while working as a language tutor. Having been a missionary in Mongolia for two years, Lihua jumped at the chance to lead the Xplore study along with our staff. Her students will be exposed to topics such as God’s heart for unreached people groups, most of them for the first time. We’re excited to see Chinese believers raising up Chinese missionaries to the unreached.
