Chris and the Discover Missions team hosted the MissionU students from Faith Christian Academy. This student field trip, was designed to get them out of the classroom, into a mission environment, and actively serving the community with a global missions focus.
This group of missionaries serve Go To Nations on a part-time basis as ambassadors, short-term mission leaders, working with discipleship making movements, fair-trade enterprise, and medical missions.
Sheila helped launch five new missionaries to their field apprenticeship in January. Gary Powers went to Kenya, Shawn and Lori Irvin went to Honduras and our son, Isaiah and his family, Britney and Gracie, went to Cyprus.
On June 7th, Chris shared a poignant message on our response to the current situation happening in our nation and on our social media platforms. We wanted to share this message with you to encourage you in our mission as fellow believers to be ambassadors for Christ.
We know to expect these kinds of things as we get closer and closer to the Lord's coming. I've been studying the book of Revelation and as a "fellow partaker in the tribulation and kingdom and perseverance which are in Jesus" (Rev. 1:9), I know that God's love will hold us in these days.
We are well underway with 2020. So much so, that January seemed to fly by quicker than we could keep up! Much of our efforts were spent on positioning ourselves for greater momentum in the year ahead.
Looking back, 2019 has seemed to have flown by. All of us at the World Headquarters have accomplished so much and we are positioning ourselves for greater increase and growth in 2020.
Chris shares how we overcome by the word of our testimony and how vital it is to share your testimony when inviting others to church. Chris’ message begins 48 minutes into the recording after worship and announcements.
Julie had a desire to go on a short-term mission for over 35 years but had never been given the opportunity.
The first thought that comes to mind is exhausting! It takes a tremendous amount of time and effort to equip every day individuals to accomplish extraordinary exploits.
Our team ministered in a church on Sunday morning where we witnessed two miraculous healings, then we conducted an evening outreach in a community just outside of Ouagadougou where there were many salvations.
There is a part of me that I know I am called to take the Gospel to the darkest places where conversion is not just frowned upon, but it is illegal.
We are excited to share our 2016 ministry statistics with you! It takes a while to compile all of our end of year numbers as an active mission agency that has 1,031 missionary workers
Those that are easy to reach, have been reached. The people groups left in the world who have not heard of Jesus are the ones that are remote and pose a challenge a get to.
Dismissing that voice has taught him a life-long lesson. Have you recognized a time when you had a thought that you ignored and realized later that you should have listened?
Go To Nations has trained two ministers a day, every single day, for the last 35 years! 1 out of every 4 of our Bible School graduates plants a church, so a new church is planted every 10 hours
This once in a lifetime encounter is what birthed our ministry in short-term missions. We want others to experience missions as we had. Missions changes you and the lives of those you encounter.
So the Lord has been calling me to this renewed place of worship. Any time he calls me to a place of worship I find myself weepy. When he does this, he almost always uses a very specific song or artist.
God continually tests my trust and faith in Him and every time I am obedient, He provides. It was hard for me for many years to live by faith instead of fear.
Chris had been waiting to get in to see an orthopedist for over a week, but during worship at church, the Lord reminded him of James 5:14-15 where the elders pray for healing.
For short-term missions to work and work well, it has to be like a great song. So, how do we make that happen? I’m glad you asked! There are many factors, but the main thing is the team itself.
Scripture teaches us that God is the same yesterday, today, and tomorrow so He is still calling those who hear His voice to go out into the world to share the good news and make disciples
There are 7.3 billion people in the world. 2.3 billion are Christian. If we were to put that into an equation it would look like this: 7.3 - 2.3 = 5 billion are not Christians.
How did you feel the last time you heard someone share an amazing God story? I can never hear enough! I want to hear what God is doing in the world.
Many people who go on a short-term mission return home with a desire to make a difference in the world. They often long to do something that leaves a lasting impact and consider doing missions full-time.
Our family has many needs, but we can see how blessed we are in comparison to the families we minister to abroad. Our daughter, Michal, was especially moved by one experience in Honduras.
Since our arrival, our internship team has encountered a lot of spiritual attacks - many trips and falls, sickness, and injuries. Chris became very ill almost immediately with severe abdominal pain.
