Overview

Mission

GO Ministries empowers local leaders to make disciples as God redeems people, renews communities and restores creation through mutual transformation. Church planting teams spend time in a community supporting local leaders as they make disciples, help their church live on mission and develop new leaders. Church Planting teams support the work of the local pastor and leaders through children’s and student ministries (VBS, Crafts, Lessons, Games & Activities), discipleship groups, minor construction projects (painting houses, pouring concrete), kids’ clubs, field days, and worship events. These initiatives and other projects provide creative avenues for local leaders to clearly communicate The Gospel in their specific context, build relationships between teams and local leaders, and support the work of the local church in their community.

What it reported doing in 2024

Medical: in 2024, go medical continued its mission of bringing disciple-first healthcare to underserved communities, athletes, and families across the dominican republic. Through clinics, mobile care, and our medical center, we met both physical and spiritual needs-walking with patients in health and in faith. This year we expanded our reach with the launch of a new satellite clinic at the leadership development complex (ldc). This clinic now provides direct care for go sports athletes, staff, and ldc visitors, embedding healthcare at the heart of discipleship and community development. 2024 at a glance: 70 patient visits through mobile clinics in local communities 356 patient visits at the new ldc clinic 11,868 patient visits at the go medical center together, these numbers represent more than 12,000 opportunities for physical healing and gospel-centered care. Each patient is seen, prayed for, and pointed toward the hope of christ-reminding us that medical care is a bridge to transformation, both body and soul.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 83% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.

The verdict

SUPPORTED - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and most voting board members are independent. The filing reports few safeguards for money sent abroad and the filing does not identify recipients for some grant dollars.
