How can you help churches move from maintenance to mission? In this episode of the Gospel Mobilization podcast, Dave sat down with Carlos Negron, the Director of Church Engagement for Missio Nexus, to explore practical strategies for mobilizing the local church. Drawing from his extensive experience serving in Colombia, Indonesia, and New York City, Carlos identifies the top needs and challenges facing pastors today. We dive into essential topics, including how to help church leadership prioritize missions and how to effectively disciple the younger generation in an era of "graying" churches. Whether you are a missions pastor or a mobilizer, this conversation will equip you with the insights needed to reach the next generation and engage churches in God's global harvest. Here's what host Dave Jacob asked Carlos during the interview: 1. Tell us about your role with Missio Nexus. 2. Tell us more about the Nexus regional gatherings for church leaders. 3. As you meet with pastors around the country, what are some of their top needs and challenges? 4. How can mobilizers and missions pastors help church leadership to prioritize missions? 5.
