“But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and you will be my witnesses.”
– Acts 1:8
MESSAGES FROM OUR INTERNATIONAL
PRESIDENT AND EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR
WERNER NACHTIGAL
Dear GO Movement Family,
First and foremost, I want to express my heartfelt gratitude to God for using us as GO Movement to reach so many people with the Gospel. Over the past 13 years, I’ve had the privilege of witnessing and experiencing so much, yet my deepest gratitude goes to the amazing team behind GO Movement — those who carry this vision through prayer, practical involvement, and generous support. Through it all, God is glorified. Every day, I’m reminded that the Gospel truly is the power that transforms lives. My desire is that every believer would experience this same freedom; the freedom that comes when we live out what God has called us to do: to be His witnesses.
The momentum of GO Day, now taking place on Pentecost Saturday, is absolutely breathtaking; it feels like a wave of revival sweeping across the world. I’m deeply encouraged that the entire IPC and 24/14 prayer networks have fully embraced Pentecost Saturday as one of their Global Days of Prayer. Their combined networks represent more than 170 million Christians who unite in prayer and evangelism during this time – an incredible testimony of global unity in Christ’s mission.
Everywhere there is a growing hunger to be equipped in evangelism. I see how God is giving us supernatural favor with leaders and is opening many doors. This year we were able to form several Evangelism Roundtables (ER) with the shared goal of working strategically to see entire nations reached with the Gospel by 2033.
God is truly making the impossible possible, and we continue to witness His hand at work in ways beyond what we could imagine. I look forward seeing even more in the years ahead. Together let’s keep moving forward in faith, unity, and boldness; until every person has heard the Good News of Jesus.
International President / CEO
DAN BROKKE
Recent events around the world and here in the United States have stirred an increased sense of urgency for sharing the Gospel. This is a time for boldness in being witnesses for Jesus. We are seeing a new openness to the Gospel. This is a time to work together igniting a global faith-sharing movement. In January 2025, leaders from key evangelism ministries, dear friends of GO Movement, gathered in Colorado Springs with a shared sense of urgency to mobilize and equip every believer to be a witness. This led to the formation of the Evangelism Roundtable. The Evangelism Roundtable’s purpose is to “Activate every believer to share the Gospel with every person by 2033.” We sensed this was a God-ordained moment.
Steve Douglas, former President of Cru, wrote shortly before his death, ”I believe that God is causing a crescendo in His movement on earth – an increase in prayer, an explosion of evangelism, and an incredible amount of unity to get the job done. We have the privilege of being part of that crescendo.” GO Movement is experiencing a global crescendo as God stirs the Church around the world to prayer and evangelism.
Our goal is to call every believer to pray and be a witness, to live a lifestyle of evangelism with boldness and accountability, and to normalize an evangelism culture in the global Church.
In prayer,
Executive Director / COO

ENGAGING BELIEVERS THROUGH YOUVERSION
Through six Guided Scriptures, we encouraged 12,849,270 believers to share their faith, inspiring app users to embrace their calling as witnesses. We are also excited to have four Bible reading plans online that equip and guide people in evangelism, alongside one plan specifically designed for those beginning their journey with God. Looking ahead, we plan to expand our teaching content with new video clips in Spanish, Portuguese, and German. So far in 2025, 81,561 people have started a Bible reading plan with us.
Honored by YouVersion, United for GO Day.
This year marked a meaningful milestone for us as we received our first-ever GO Movement “Share Your Faith” award; a recognition we are deeply grateful for. It was presented during YouVersion’s celebration of reaching 1 billion downloads, a moment that made our partnership even more special.
What encouraged us most, however, was their commitment to join us in the mission. In their own words:
“When you think of someone living out their faith passionately and boldly, I think of GO Movement. Every year, the Saturday before Pentecost, they call GO Day—a day to share your faith with just one person. And next year, I’m going to take part in that. We’re inviting our entire YouVersion community to join GO Day, and I just want to say thank you once more for everything you’ve done with the Share Your Faith initiative.”

TRAINING
OF TRAINERS
This year, we launched the Training of Trainers (ToT) initiative, inspired by 2 Timothy 2:2 model:
“And the things that thou hast heard of me among many witnesses, the same commit thou to faithful men, who shall be able to teach others also.” – 2 Timothy 2:2 (KJV)
The ToT program equips master trainers who each train at least 25 others to share the Gospel. Those 25, in turn, train at least one more person, creating an ongoing chain of multiplication as participants continue sharing the Good News in their daily lives.
In March, the first Training of Trainers programs launched in two major cities:
LAGOS
leaders from 11
countries trained
as master trainers.
NAIROBI
master trainers from
18 countries trained.
Movement conducted both quantitative and qualitative studies to measure and validate the program’s impact. The results exceeded expectations: each trainer trained an average of 32 people, surpassing the initial goal of 25. Many of these newly trained believers are now actively sharing their faith in everyday life.
In June, another ToT event took place in Cairo, training 63 master trainers representing 13 countries across the MENA region – further expanding the reach of this multiplying movement.
COLLABORATION
EASTER TO
PENTECOST
A Global Season of Mission.
Flowing out of the GO Movement, this 50-day season builds on the historical momentum of GO Month, which has long been a time of preparation and outreach. Now, many major ministries and movements are joining together to embrace this as a clarion call to the whole Body of Christ—a united season of prayer, bold witness, and mission from Easter to Pentecost. GO Day is part of this global move of God, as believers everywhere rise to share the hope of Jesus through the power of the Holy Spirit.
This year, from Easter to Pentecost, we saw a wide range of gatherings taking place around the world — including prayer gatherings, worship events, crusades, and outreach teams sharing the gospel. Believers were also being equipped and mobilized for personal evangelism.

THE EVANGELISM
ROUNDTABLE
Building a Global Collaborative Framework.
The Evangelism Roundtable (ER) initiative continued to grow in 2025 as a platform for uniting key leaders and organizations committed to advancing gospel witness worldwide. Conceived as a space for collaboration, prayer, and shared learning, the Roundtable serves to strengthen relational and strategic ties among diverse movements engaged in evangelism, discipleship, and mission.
In August 2025, the Roundtable convened in Minneapolis, Minnesota, gathering leaders from more than a dozen global networks*. The diversity of participation reflected the breadth of the global Church—crossing generations, denominations, and ministry approaches—all united by a shared conviction that every believer should be equipped and active in sharing the good news of Jesus Christ.
A significant outcome of the 2025 gathering was the signing of the Evangelism Covenant, a collective affirmation of shared mission and mutual accountability. The covenant identifies three key priorities for collaboration:
Mobilizing 100 Million Lifestyle Witnesses – encouraging every believer to share Christ personally.
Activating Pentecost – integrating prayer, evangelism, and worship movements for spiritual renewal.
Establishing Every Country Roundtables – developing national and regional collaborations to multiply impact.
The covenant marked a new level of trust and cooperation among partner movements, committing them to shared strategies, joint prayer, and the measurement of collective progress toward gospel engagement goals.
Beyond formal agreements, the Roundtable continues to cultivate a culture of unity and humility among leaders. As one participant reflected, “Our shared yearning for the glory of Jesus and for His gospel to be known among the nations is what binds us together.” This spirit has shaped the Roundtable into more than a series of meetings—it has become a movement of mutual encouragement, spiritual alignment, and coordinated mission.
Looking ahead, the Roundtable network is focusing on the acceleration of gospel initiatives leading to 2033, the 2000th anniversary of the resurrection of Christ. The 2025 gathering served as both a milestone and a launching point for deeper collaboration toward that shared horizon.

STORIES FROM
REAL PEOPLE
Throughout the year, God moved powerfully through the lives of many believers connected with the GO Movement. From small acts of service to bold evangelistic initiatives, ordinary people stepped out in obedience and love, opening doors for others to encounter Jesus.
The following testimonies highlight just a few of the life-changing ways God worked through His people to bring hope, salvation, and transformation in communities near and far.
From the Streets to Home:
Dani’s Journey of Restoration
During this year’s GO Day, we met Dani, a young man living on the streets and struggling with alcohol addiction, cut off from his family. As we shared hope and prayed with him, we witnessed a remarkable transformation—his spirit lifted, and light returned to his eyes. Walking with him to his neighborhood, Dani suddenly recognized his home, and his family rushed out to embrace him with tears of joy. What began as a simple outreach became a powerful encounter with the Holy Spirit, restoring Dani’s life and reuniting a family.
Bold Faith in Paraguay
From the city of Loma Plata
Where two sisters gave their lives to Christ and immediately began sharing their faith.
Mikaela (15) and Kyla (13) accepted Jesus as their Lord and Savior, then went through a GO training in personal evangelism. Without hesitation, they joined an outreach to share Christ in their community. Their enthusiasm and joy in evangelism have inspired other believers to do the same, and many souls have already been won to Christ through their witness.
Irene’s New Life
Monrovia, Liberia
In the cemeteries of Monrovia, Liberia; where many young people struggling with addiction live among the graves and endure unimaginable hardships; an outreach team, together with former warlord-turned-evangelist Joshua Milton (General Butt Naked), brought the hope of the Gospel. Among those they encountered was Irene, a 25-year-old pregnant woman, trapped in prostitution, addicted to drugs, and carrying deep pain. When asked if she wanted a new life, she said yes; and in that moment, she gave her life to Jesus and experienced His healing. The team provided her with a warm meal, new clothes, and a safe place at a newly opened women’s shelter and rehabilitation center. Today, Irene is drug-free, following Jesus, and embracing a fresh start.
Love in Action Transforms a City
Carcarañá Testimony
In Carcarañá, local churches came together to cook and serve locro, a traditional Argentine stew. As people received their meals, they were also offered prayer and the chance to hear the Gospel. During the event, over 100 people chose to follow Christ. This outreach was inspired by pastors who had participated in a Training of Trainers training two months earlier and wanted to apply what they had learned in a culturally meaningful way.
This testimony reminds us that evangelism doesn’t always start with a stage or microphone—sometimes it begins with a warm meal and a heart ready to serve, opening doors for life-changing encounters with Jesus.
Remaining Fruit
The evangelistic efforts have resulted in significant church growth, with over 1,1M people integrated into churches and 84,124 baptisms reported globally. Additionally, nearly 49,000 new churches planted.

Meet Harrison
In 2022, a GO Movement team met Harrison in a Liberian cemetery, where he was living in addiction. That day, he chose to give his life to the Lord. The team helped him enter rehab, where he began an apprenticeship and a new chapter of hope. This year, they met him again—completely transformed. Now, Harrison returns to the same cemetery to share the Gospel with others trapped in addiction, bringing light to the very place where he once lived in darkness.
“Our church was hesitant to participate in joint evangelism efforts, but the mobilization efforts brought us together with other churches. We’re now working together to reach our community.”
“Our city saw churches from over 10 denominations, plus various ministries, working hand-in-hand for GO Day. We prayed together, planned together, and went out together. The unity was palpable, and it opened so many doors. People were asking, ‘Why are all these churches suddenly working together?’ It was a powerful witness, and we saw hundreds come to Christ because of this joint effort.”
WHAT'S NEXT? - AND HOW YOU CAN JOIN
The global harvest is massive, and the momentum is accelerating. As we enter the coming year, we are focused on three priorities:
Mobilizing 25 million believers to share Jesus at least once.
Expanding Training of Trainers hubs across Africa, Asia, and Latin America.
Strengthening digital evangelism and Scripture engagement worldwide.
You can help advance this mission:
Partner with your church to mobilize believers for GO Day.
Support the movement financially to equip leaders and launch new training hubs.
Live the GO Lifestyle – daily, weekly, or monthly gospel conversation.
The world is ready. The church is rising. And together, we can reach every person with the message of Jesus.
