Go Snapshot: Aids Orphanage, Juvenile Center, and The Talk
I pray you and your family have a great holiday weekend as we celebrate the resurrection of Christ. As believers we pause to reflect on the sacrifice that was made for us so that we might know God and live in the freedom that comes with the forgiveness of sin. It is this story of redemption and reconciliation that compels us to live here in a foreign country and make known the name of Christ. The Gospel message that we share here in Ecuador is not a message of rules and lists of good things to do. The message we preach ...
Go Snapshot: Love From Above, Prison, Schools, and More.
This week marked our first fully operational week of Submerge. The first week we spent much of our time in training, building relationships with the team, and planning. This week we hit the ground running as we executed all of our plans from the prior week. We started things off on Saturday with one of the outreaches we’ve done in other countries called, “Love from Above”. The concept is simple. Come up with little ways you can bless a stranger, accompany this act with hand out cards that say “Love From Above: We wanted to show you by this simple act ...
Go Snapshot: Submerge off to a great start
It's been over ten years since Christa and I first discussed starting an international team missions base, last Friday we saw that dream fulfilled with the arrival of our first Submerge Team. We have spent this last week introducing the team to Quito, getting to know each other, and even doing some ministry together. We are excited about what is on the horizon and what God is doing in our midst. We truly are expectant about the things that will happen as a result of this team working together. As I shared with the team this week, our vision is ...
Go Snapshot: Go International Documentary and Other Exciting Updates
Things here in Ecuador couldn’t be going better. We are exactly one week away from our first Submerge team arriving. Last night we hosted a conference call with all of our new team and everyone is truly excited about this new season they are about to begin. Almost ten years ago when Christa and I first launched Go International there were 3 main components we envisioned for Go; short term mission trips, an internship program, and international missions bases. For over ten years we have been doing short term missions, we graduated 6 classes of the Go Internship program, and now ...

32 Things I’ve Learned in 32 Years
As I celebrate this my 32nd birthday I truly believe I am a better person than I ever have been and am in a healthier place than ever before. As I pondered this feeling of contentment in life I wrote a list of 32 Things I've Learned in 32 years that have helped bring me to this point. Perhaps these lessons can help you too. :) I have learned that... LIFE IS DYNAMIC It is an illusion to think that any given season will always remain. You can be sure that some sort of change is always around the corner. YOU CAN NOT DEFINE ...
Add One
You got perfume for mom. A sweater for your aunt. That gift card for your co-worker. Almost all the items on your Christmas list are crossed off... All but one. This Christmas, Go International would like to ask you to add one more to your list. The prostitute. The drug addict. The prisoner. The Orphan. The twenty-something who hopes to one day be a missionary. Often times when ministering to the multitudes the individual lives that are changed can tend to be overlooked. We ask that this Christmas you consider making a donation to Go International to help us reach the “ones” who are in need of hope, love, and the ...
Alumni Spotlight: Jonathan Adams
Check out this week’s edition of Alumni Spotlight, where we catch up with previous interns and staff to see what they’ve been up to. This week we talk with children's minister Jonathan Adams (or as our son affectionately refers to him: Big Jon). Jonathan interned with Go for two years graduating the program in 2011. In 2012 he joined us on staff working in our missions department. Jonathan is one of the most passionate people we know and he is an inspiration to many! We thought it appropriate to make this post today as he celebrates his birthday. Tell us about ...
Submerge
If you are done with “comfortable”... If you are looking for something more out of life... If you are ready to give all your heart to bring hope to the hurting... Then we invite you to Submerge. Maybe you’ve been on short term missions before, your eyes have been opened to the tremendous need that exists in the world, and now you’re ready to do more. Go International is happy to announce the launch of a brand new missions experience called Submerge. Submerge is a multi-month missions experience for those who want to dive into culture, roll up their sleeves, and love. The ...
Then & Now: Lauren Palomares
We are pleased to introduce a new blog series on Go International.tv called Then & Now. In each edition of Then & Now we will hear directly from alumni of the Go Internship to learn how they have taken their experience at Go and applied it in their current life. In this first edition it is only appropriate that we start with our very first intern, Lauren Palomares. Lauren began interning at Go long before she was Mrs. Palomares, in fact she was a 17 year old high school senior who interned with us before we even had an official program. ...
#go_inspiration – One Life
One life. You are here on planet earth for a reason. You could have been born in any other time of history- yet you are here now. You have been gifted with talents, dreams and desires; not by accident, but with a purpose. You only get one life, this is not a dress rehearsal, there are no do overs, you only get to live each moment once. What matters at the end of the day is what you did with it. How will you spend this one life that you have been given? You’ve got dreams, you’ve got ideas but you have no clue where to begin. ...
Go Snapshot: This Week At Go Nov 10
Open Doors: If there were a theme to this week that would have to be it. In moving here we felt in our hearts that the first phase of establishing our base would be Community Integration and Needs Assessment. Basically, building relationships and networking with others to see where Go can best contribute. This week we had some key connections. Tuesday we met with a man we worked with back in 2005 who runs a media company and a non profit foundation. There are many ways it looks like we’ll be able to work together. He has open doors with schools, ...
Alumni Spotlight: Matt Arbo
Check out this week's edition of Alumni Spotlight, where we catch up with previous interns and staff to see what they've been up to. This week we talk with adventurer and creator of EpicUncertainty.com, Matt Arbo. Matt interned with Go for two years and graduated the program in 2011. Matt is always an inspiration to us and we thought he might just inspire you too! Tell us about what your life looks like right now? My life looks like a map with lines going all over the place and little pins marking all the locations I end up in. Where was your last ...
