What is GO 10/40?
More Than a Mission Trip
An immersive eight-week experience placing followers of Christ alongside seasoned missionaries among unreached peoples. Through hands-on ministry, biblical teaching, and discipleship — it is an opportunity to learn, serve, grow, and prayerfully consider how God may want to use your life in His global mission.
The reality
Billions of people
have never heard the name of Jesus,
the One who changes everything.
Not because they rejected it—
but because no one showed up.
Not because they don’t care—
but because they never took the first step.

In a different culture.
