A Milestone for Global Gospel Impact: The Evangelism Covenant

Recent events have heightened a sense of urgency for sharing the Gospel. People are more open than ever, and believers are stepping forward with renewed boldness. It’s a unique moment for collaboration, innovation, and igniting a worldwide faith-sharing movement.

In January 2025, leaders from key evangelism ministries; dear friend of GO Movement; gathered in Colorado Springs with a shared mission: mobilize and equip every believer to be a witness. Out of that gathering, the Evangelism Roundtable (ER) was born, with a clear purpose: “Activate every believer to share the Gospel with every person by 2033.”

Seeing the ER take shape has been one of the highlights for our movement. From the beginning, we sensed this was a God-ordained moment; a milestone in global evangelism. Steve Douglass, former President of Cru, captured the vision well shortly before his passing: “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 are witnessing that crescendo in real time.

The Evangelism Covenant: A Global Commitment

A defining milestone of the ER was the signing of the Evangelism Covenant—a shared commitment to accelerate gospel engagement worldwide. Leaders from ministries including GO Movement, Finishing the Task, Baptist World Alliance, Child Evangelism Fellowship, Evangelism Explosion, Every Home for Christ, Jesus Film/Cru, YWAM, and more were present to affirm this unified vision.

The covenant includes three core commitments:

  1. 100 Million Lifestyle Witnesses Equipping and mobilizing believers to share Christ personally, naturally, and confidently.
  2. Activating Pentecost Centering prayer, evangelism, and worship as the heartbeat of mission.
  3. Every Country Roundtables Fostering national-level collaboration to multiply gospel impact.

As Werner Nachtigal of the GO Movement said: “This covenant represents more than words on paper—it is a commitment of heart and action.”

By signing, leaders committed to pray together, align strategies, track collective progress, and encourage one another—working toward a future where faith-sharing becomes a normalized, everyday part of life for every believer.
