Agency Mobilization Survey 2025

The 2025 Mobilization Survey is now open, and your insights are crucial in understanding trends, challenges, and opportunities in global mission mobilization. Mission leaders, mobilizers, recruiters, and agencies are all encouraged to participate.

The survey covers key data on:

  • Long-term mobilization trends: This includes the number of new interested long-term field workers, applicants for long-term missions, workers preparing for the field, and departing long-term staff/workers.
  • Short-term mobilization trends: This covers interest in trips under 2 weeks, trips between 2 weeks and 1 year, and 1-2 year commitments.

Your input will help shape the 2025 Mobilization Report, a vital resource for the mission community. All participants receive the final report for free! For non-participating members, the report is available for $100, and for non-members, it is $150.

The deadline to participate is May 15, 2025
