Why GO with ShareWord Global?
Short-term mission trips can often feel like “parachute evangelism.” Foreigners arrive in an area, do their mission, and then leave. But this has shown to be ineffective in the long run, and can undermine evangelism initiatives of local churches.
That’s where ShareWord Global’s Gospel Outreach (GO) Trips come in.
GO Trips present an exciting opportunity to train, equip, and launch believers to share their faith. Our partnership with local churches allows us to reach communities with the gospel and provide new believers with a family of faith. This means the work continues even after you go home. The experience is life transforming; not just for the souls you reach with the gospel, but yours as well. It’s a great way to exercise faith and to grow in your walk with God.
We take care of everything. We make your next step easy by giving you an inclusive package.
The team at Head Office is ready to help you at every step, including filling out the application form, how to raise the funds, what to pack—even what the weather will be like when you get there. Remember, you won’t be alone, you’ll be joining a team!
We’ll show you exactly what you need to do! We show you, you show them, they show others. It’s that easy.
Never shared the gospel before? Worried you won’t know what to do? If you’re an everyday person just like the rest of us, you’re ready to go! The best people for a GO Trip are people who love Jesus, love people, and love the idea of sharing the gospel. As for the rest, you’ll be trained on how to share the gospel with people from other cultures, and learn from the experiences of other believers.
It’s not just about street evangelism.
So much more happens on GO Trips than street evangelism. Some trips have kids’ ministry events, others have open air concerts, and sometimes God opens doors we hadn’t even planned on. Like prisons, government buildings, marketplaces, schools, praying with people in hospitals—even beaches! Plus, part of every GO Trip is mobilizing churches to share the gospel and grow the local church.
We work with the local churches.
GO Trips aren’t about outsiders coming in. It’s about working together as the universal church to spread the Gospel and build up the local church, mobilizing them to reach out to their communities. Partnering with local churches connects new believers to a family of faith that will guide and assist them throughout their journey. Pastors will check up on new believers after you've returned home, so they’ll have a solid foundation for their new life with Christ.
All you have to do is say yes.
There is no better way to ignite a passion for the gospel than to sign up for a ShareWord GO Trip.
