The book of 3 John tells us that Gaius supported the itinerant teachers of his day in a manner worthy of God, and that by doing so, he was a fellow worker with the truth.
Ralph Winter, the late founder of the U.S. Center for World Mission (now Frontier Ventures), once stood before a group of college students and said, “Suppose I had a thousand college seniors in front of me who asked me where they ought to go to make a maximum contribution to Christ’s global cause. What would I tell them? I would tell them to stay home and mobilize. All of them.”1
Why did Ralph Winter, someone who did not stay home (prior to founding the U.S. Center for World Mission, he was a missionary to Guatemala), put such an emphasis on “staying home” and mobilizing? And what does it mean to “mobilize” for Christ’s global cause?
