SUMMARY:Mobilization Strategy Summit
DESCRIPTION:This event is formerly the 24Plus Mobilization Directors Conference. \nJoin us to address ecosystem shifts with actionable organizational solutions. This summit features collaborative breakout labs designed to bridge the church-agency divide\, decode next-gen funding\, and navigate systems change. Equip your leadership team with strategic insights from an outside design consultant and collaborate with peers to build practical experiments you can launch immediately. \nParticipant Profile \nThis collaborative working summit is designed for Mobilization Leaders and Senior Agency Leaders ready to move from traditional recruiting models toward actionable innovation. To optimize the summit’s collaborative layout\, leaders are urged to attend alongside their key organizational decision-makers (CEOs\, COOs\, VP’s\, and Sending Pastors) to co-create practical frameworks and align on immediate strategic next steps. \nWho You’ll Meet \nNetwork with mobilization leaders and affiliated leaders in the mobilization arena from a wide variety of mission agencies and denominations.  Meet veteran and emerging leaders from these organizations who are attending with their mobilization leaders. Connect with a variety of presenters who specialize in mobilization leadership topics. \nThe Focus Areas \nThis summit provides the strategic frameworks and peer accountability needed to transition from theory to execution. Together\, we will address: \n\nEcosystem Alignment: Bridging the church-agency divide to reduce system redundancy.\nGenerational Innovation: Adapting candidate coaching and funding models for Gen Z and Gen Alpha.\nCultivate Mobilization Across Departments: Inspire cross-departmental collaboration for an organization-wide mobilization culture\n\nSuccess is not defined by “solving” these global shifts in a few days\, but by leaving with named tensions\, aligned realities\, and low-risk experiments to test within your leadership domain over the next 12 months. \nWhy You Want to Participate \n\nDiagnose Blind Spots: Leverage the insights of an outside organizational design expert to identify where your current models create unintended barriers.\nBridge the Gaps: Break down the historical divides between agencies\, churches\, and funding pipelines alongside peers who are doing the same.\nDe-risk Innovation: Collaborate on testing new hybrid frameworks before risking capital or organizational momentum.\n\nHow It Will Help You \nYour team will depart with a curated portfolio of micro-experiments—low-risk\, high-leverage steps designed to bypass internal status-quo resistance and jumpstart immediate operational innovation within your organization. \nEvent Overview \nA 3-day collaborative strategy summit hosted at the Frontiers Headquarters. Moving entirely away from passive lectures\, this event brings together integrated leadership teams—mobilization leaders alongside organizational decision-makers—to tackle the root-system structural challenges facing global missions. Guided by an outside systems and organizational design consultant\, the summit features three intensives\, facilitated breakout labs utilizing dedicated strategic meeting spaces across the campus. Participants will engage in rigorous peer-to-peer alignment\, diagnose shared organizational friction points\, and depart with low-risk micro-experiments to pilot immediately back home. \nThis Summit will feature a number of speakers as well as our Event Facilitators/Mobilization Track Leaders. \nEvent Facilitators \n \nDave Jacob is a missions mobilization practitioner\, researcher\, trainer\, and consultant. He is the Founder and Chief Servant Officer of Gospel Mobilization\, a ministry dedicated to resourcing\, training\, and coaching missions mobilizers. He has trained hundreds of mobilizers from all over the world. Previously\, he spent 7 years as the Chair of the Intercultural Studies department at Trinity Bible College and Graduate School in Ellendale\, ND\, where he used education and inspiration to mobilize students to the nations. From 2008-2014\, he and his family served as missionaries in a sensitive country in Northern Asia. Dave is the author of It’s Your Call: To a Missional or Missionary Life\, and the host of the Gospel Mobilization Podcast. He has a Master of Arts degree in Missional Leadership and loves to read books about missions\, spiritual formation\, and neurotheology.

They have 5 children and 2 grandchildren. \n \nWith over a decade of experience in the trenches of mobilization\, Chelsea Christopher is passionate about the health\, mobilization\, and longevity of Great Commission workers. As the Vice President of People Advancement at East-West\, she draws on her 14-year journey—from frontline Missionary Mobilizer to senior leader—to build systems that help workers flourish. Today\, she leads East-West’s efforts across missionary and staff recruitment\, HR\, leadership development\, and internal communications\, always driven by the vision to do what’s never been done before to reach the unreached. Her global perspective was sparked on a mission trip at age eight and later formalized through a Master of Arts in Global Leadership. Chelsea lives in the Ft.
