December: The Month of Mobilization
In December, we don’t simply remember a story. We recommit to a calling.
Jesus came to us—
and now we go to others.

In studying the Christmas story recently, I was reminded of the overwhelming ministry Joseph and Mary were given. They were tasked with parenting the Messiah. I found it incredibly revealing to look at how the Father called them into ministry and just as incredible to see how they responded.

Prayer may be the most powerful thing we can do as believers, and certainly one way everyone can participate in missions.

Some people are sure of their role in missions, and that is great. Others are not sure what their role might be at this stage of life or for the future. As it turns out, every one of us can play a role in helping to reach this world for Jesus. In fact, most of us reading this blog are probably already involved in a role…

Only God, in His time and in His way, can change a heart. However, our Godly response, coming from humble, accurate sharing of the needs, could be part of what God uses to change that heart.

Mission work requires flexibility. Serving in a new culture means adjusting to new norms and customs. Some of them you may be prepared for, and others may completely throw you off guard. Here are a few topics to consider and resources to help.

Raising support for a missions trip is often met with reluctance and fear. However, as we begin to delve into the topic, we realize that we need to learn God’s perspective and promises.

There are moments in life when the noise quiets, the striving ceases, and something sacred fills the stillness. I call these Patmos Moments—those precious times when the Holy Spirit breathes divine insight into our spirits, often when we are quiet enough to truly listen.

“And do not forget to do good and to share with others, for with such sacrifices God is pleased.” – Hebrews 13:16 (NIV)
When we think of giving, we often think of finances. And while that’s a key part of it, Kingdom generosity is much more than what’s in our wallet—it’s about the posture of our hearts and the willingness to surrender our time, our talents, and our treasures for God’s glory.

In a world where the gospel is still unknown to billions, the call to missions is not optional—it’s essential. As Global Christians, we are invited and commanded to participate in God’s redemptive plan through various missional activities: Sending, Mobilizing, Praying, Welcoming, and Going. Each of these activities reflects a heart aligned with God’s mission and cultivates spiritual maturity, discipline, and deeper faith.
