Data: Decoding the Missionary Pipeline

Source: Gospel Mobilization and Missio Nexus

What are the most significant factors that help and hinder potential missionaries? How do generational differences affect our mobilization efforts? 

The 2025 Launch Survey included more than 2,400 current or aspiring missionaries from North America. The latest in a series of surveys, it was conducted in early 2025 and was the first to include Gen Z respondents.

If you’re a mission mobilizer, especially one trying to understand, engage, equip, and care for Gen Z workers, set aside some time to watch Decoding the Missionary Pipeline (75 minutes, Missio Nexus).

You will learn:

  • Why traditional mobilization approaches are failing younger generations (and what works instead)
  • The top factors that motivate different generations to relocate for the gospel
  • The specific obstacles that derail missionary candidates—and how to help them overcome each one
  • Onboarding recommendations for current missionaries to build sustainable, thriving teams
