How to Know You Should Connect to a Mobilizer
Let’s start with a common question, “What is a Mobilizer?”
The definition of a Mobilizer is "someone who encourages another to take action for a bigger purpose". This might be someone at your church, a pastor, or a mentor. This might be a person who works at a Mission Agency or other mission-minded ministries. At Cafe 1040, our mobilizers meet with churches and young adults to help them engage in their role in the Great Commission.
In this article, our aim is to help you decide whether it is time to connect with a Mobilizer. If you do decide to connect, we have a list of questions you can ask listed here.
You should chat with a Mobilizer:
At the beginning of your journey, career, or desire for missions
Whenever you have a desire to learn more about missions, yourself, or God’s plan for your life
You foresee multiple paths that God is leading you towards, and don't know what to do
You are curious about what it would look like to be a long-term missionary
You are curious about missions, but you have no idea where to start
You are curious about how to set up for the best next step for you
Whenever you feel stuck, maybe God is pulling you to one thing, and the world is pulling you the other way
Maybe you know you are not ready to jump on a plane tomorrow, but you are curious about what that might look like
When you ask yourself the question, “I know I want to serve God with my life, but I am unsure where or how?”
When God keeps tugging at your heart to do missions, but you are scared to raise support, or sense other fears getting in the way
When you are completely convinced God wants you to move overseas as soon as possible
When you already have a plan for your life laid out and are pretty confident about what the next 3-5 years of life or school will look like, because God loves interrupting our plans!
Meeting with a Mobilizer does not mean they will change your life plan. The goal is to help you figure out your next best step in the Great Commission. Having a conversation with Cafe 1040 staff is a safe place to explore where God is leading you. Plus, you might be treated to a free cup of coffee!
