Five Insights from a Study on Cheering: Strategies to Mobilize More Missionaries<\/a> (Dave Jacob)<\/p>\n\n\n\n In 2022, three sport psychologists interviewed runners to discover what kind of cheering helped them and what type of cheering didn\u2019t. They discovered the most helpful type of cheering was either instructional or motivational. Cheering that was unhelpful included criticisms and shouts to dig deeper when the runner already felt that they were giving all they had.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Based on their research, here\u2019s their advice for how to best cheer for someone running in a race, and it just might work for those we are mobilizing as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Unlocking New Missionary Potential: Analyzing Key Motivations and Barriers<\/a> (Launch Survey)<\/p>\n\n\n\n What truly drives or derails the next generation of aspiring missionary candidates? How can North American churches and mission agencies reverse declining missions involvement and recruit more laborers for the remaining harvest? How do the needs of the emerging generation differ from generations before, and how can we effectively pass the torch to the next generation of gospel workers?<\/p>\n\n\n\n You\u2019ll have to provide your email to access related resources<\/a>; they have some new ones.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Understand Your Missionary\u2019s Support: Correcting 10 Misconceptions<\/a> (Catalyst Services)<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cWhat you don\u2019t know won\u2019t hurt you!\u201d This familiar adage does not apply to your church\u2019s understanding of missionary financial support packages. Ignorance or misunderstanding of important factors related to missionary funds definitely can hurt your missionary, the people they minister to, and your church.<\/p>\n\n\n\n (I was so encouraged when my sending church practiced the advice in #8, letting me know as soon as I accepted my first full-time mission role that they\u2019d pick up 20% of my support!)<\/p>\n\n\n\n More Accurate People Group Data: Small People Group Policy<\/a> (Joshua Project) <\/p>\n\n\n\n Why did the people group count drop from 17,700 to 16,300?\u00a0Did 1,400 people groups just disappear? No, Joshua Project refined how they count to make the data more practical for actual ministry work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n They now focus the main list on groups you can realistically identify and reach. The groups being moved to the separate small peoples category are tiny diaspora populations that are nearly impossible to locate or engage directly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you use JPL figures in your mobilization efforts, consider updating those to be consistent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Sources: Various Five Insights from a Study on Cheering: Strategies to Mobilize More Missionaries (Dave Jacob) In 2022, three sport psychologists interviewed runners to discover what kind of cheering helped them and what type of cheering didn\u2019t.
