80% of the world’s evangelical Christians live in Asia, Africa, and Latin America. Over the last 50 years, God’s church has grown exponentially in these areas.

These regions have tremendous mission sending potential to help bring the gospel to unreached peoples, but they currently send only 20% of the world’s cross-cultural missionaries!

<h3>How It&rsquo;s Used</h3>
<p>You can use this book in a small group or even in a one-on-one relationship. If nothing else, read it yourself and then find someone to go through it with you. Community and partnership are essential in the kingdom of God! Each lesson involves a Go Read, Go Discuss, Go To The Word, Go Mobilize, and Go Pray section. You can even take your participants to the next level by helping them apply what they&rsquo;re learning with&nbsp;the one-on-one Coaching Conversations.</p>
<p>The&nbsp;<em>Mobilizing the Body of Christ</em> study is designed as a follow up to the <em>Explore the World Christian Lifestyle</em> study, but can be used by any believers&nbsp;who are excited about and living out God&rsquo;s heart for the world.</p>

<p><em>&ldquo;Someone must sound the rallying call. Those who desire to see others trained, prepared and released to ministry are known as mobilizers.&nbsp;</em><strong>Mobilizers stir other Christians to active concern for reaching the world</strong><em>.</em><span>&nbsp;<em>They coordinate efforts between senders, the local churches, sending agencies, and missionaries on the field. Mobilizers are absolutely essential</em>." -- Phil Parshall</span></p>

<p><i><span>Welcoming the Nations Among Us</span></i><span>&nbsp;is a 6-lesson study inviting believers to explore welcoming others for God&rsquo;s glory. Welcoming is more than being friendly. It is the lifestyle of a person prioritizing God&rsquo;s mission to &ldquo;make disciples of all&nbsp;</span><span>nations.&rdquo; A welcomer gets involved with those around them from different cultures, developing genuine cross-cultural friendships, selflessly serving, and always being&nbsp;</span><span>ready to share Jesus with others. Our Father has always been a welcomer and has a role for each of us to play in joining Him.</span><span>&nbsp;</span><i><span>Welcoming&nbsp;</span></i><span>participants will explore:</span></p>
<ul>
<li><span>The realities of migrants and near neighbors around them&nbsp;</span></li>
<li><span>Their own obstacles to reaching out cross-culturally</span></li>
<li><span>Practical steps they can take to start welcoming</span></li>
