Integrity in Mission. Excellence in Every Step.
GO InterNational follows the 7 Standards of Excellence in Short-Term Mission to ensure every trip, partnership, and project honors God and serves people well.
Why These Standards Matter
Excellence isn’t just about good organization, it’s about faithfulness.
These seven standards guide everything we do, from how we prepare teams to how we serve our global partners.
They reflect our conviction that every mission experience should be God-centered, relationship-driven, and effective in advancing the gospel for the long term.
Our 7 Standards of Excellence
1. God-Centeredness
Everything begins and ends with God’s glory.
We seek His kingdom first through sound doctrine, prayerful dependence, and methods that bear spiritual fruit.
2. Empowering Partnerships
We don’t go alone - we go together.
Healthy, interdependent relationships with global partners ensure mutual trust, accountability, and shared benefit in every mission effort.
3. Mutual Design
Every trip is planned with, not for.
We collaborate with local partners so that both the sending and receiving teams can implement their part of a shared, long-term vision.
4. Comprehensive Administration
Integrity behind the scenes matters as much as impact on the field.
From truthful communication and transparent finances to risk management and logistics, we steward every detail with care.
5. Qualified Leadership
Servant leaders make strong teams.
We train and develop leaders who are spiritually mature, organized, and committed to empowering others through their example.
6. Appropriate Training
Preparation builds confidence and cultural humility.
Each participant receives biblical, timely, and practical training before, during, and after the trip.
7. Thorough Follow-Through
The mission doesn’t end when you come home.
We ensure every participant and partner experiences meaningful debriefing, reflection, and next steps toward continued growth and service.
Our Commitment to Excellence
These standards, developed by MissionExcellence, shape the way GO InterNational plans, partners, and serves around the world.
Because the way we go matters as much as where we go.
