The church in America has largely missed this mobilization call. The church has mostly lived a “COME and SEE” model while Jesus operated from a “GO and BE” model. Too often we see individuals as volunteers to fuel our programs and to serve our purposes rather than as everyday missionaries with everyday mission fields — where they work, live, and play — that also provide the opportunity to accomplish God’s purposes. As a result, we don’t equip individuals to discover and live into their unique secondary calling. Mobilization is the missing bridge between disciple-making and multiplication movements. With less than one percent of the churches ever multiplying, it is obvious we have a serious mobilization problem. It’s the bridge of mobilization that’s missing.

Most of the thinking in the church is geared around reformational thinking - that it’s all about the gathering. The majority of most pastors; efforts goes into making the Sunday service good - but is there anything wrong with this picture? No condemnation, we are a product of our reformational thinking, these ideas include: 1. The gathering = the local Church. 2. Clergy versus laity. (That only those paid are in full time ministry). 3. A majority of local Church resources go to the believer, not to the lost. 4. The gifts of the local church to build the local church verses to reach the local community. We think if we have good services we will win the community to Jesus, but... Is it working?
