The role of information and information-seeking in mobilization

I’ve been in a brief conversation on Twitter on the role/level of information in contrast to levels of mobilization. The following diagram illustrates my experience. I’m curious as to whether the experience of others is different.

The idea of this graph:

1. Those who are unmobilized tend for the most part to be uninformed about the many who have never heard the Gospel once in their lives. They may have a nebulous idea of the “pagan” or “non-Christian” world, but not realize that there is little to no Gospel work in parts of the world. Their decision not to go as missionaries is largely due to the fact that the idea of being a missionary as rarely crossed their path.
2. Those who ARE mobilized tend to be highly informed (although there are many exceptions about specific aspects of the task–for example, many may have prayed through Operation World but never heard of church planting movements). There will be a “continuum” of informed vs obedience, where “information overload” can play a part as we move from a general knowledge of the task to specific application of it.
3. There are many who are “lightly informed” but unmobilized. But due to the voluntary, self-selecting nature of mobilization, it tends to be true that those who are “mobilizing” are also seeking greater levels of information and understanding – so the higher the level of “informed,” the more likely it is that a person will be mobilized in some capacity. And, the less “informed,” the less likely it is that a person is mobilized.
4. But: if we are going by the idea of “self selection” – of an individual being interested in missions and demonstrating this interest by seeking out information – it does not necessarily follow that mass missions education will lead to mobilization. It may be that dribbling information out, seeing who responds, and following up with those, may be a far better “filter” for mobilizing candidates.

Is this your experience? Is it a fairly good synopsis?
