Our Doors Are Open
We’re pastors, missionaries, strategists, and storytellers - each called to help the church live out the Great Commission.
Our team is small in size, but global in heart, connected to hundreds of partners and leaders around the world.
Together, we serve the same purpose: to do whatever it takes to see disciples made, churches planted, and communities transformed by the gospel.
If you ever find yourself in beautiful Wilmore, Kentucky, stop by our offices, we’d love to meet you in person, pray with you, and share more about how you can be part of what God is doing through GO InterNational.
