Partnerships

"G.O. Ministries seeks to empower passionate, local leaders serving inside their own cultures to Redeem people, Renew communities and Restore Creation by developing dynamic International, mutually transformational Partnerships."

This morning, we dropped off Beechland Baptist Church at the airport, finishing up my first ever GO team! I forgot how deep and real relationships can be formed in such a short amount of time. This week was an incredible introduction to the crux of our ministry: Partnerships.


During this week I got to see an amazing example of how a church has rallied around a specific family that has worked with GO for many years, the husband as a construction worker and the wife as a cook. This family has become an extended part of the church family, and there are many people from the Louisville church that ask about and pray for this family even though they have never met them! This encouragement does wonders for our nationals, as they feel equipped and supported in order to really serve and minister here in Santiago.


Honestly, I didn't understand this crucial aspect of the ministry here. I was so excited about discipleship and my role in the baseball/basketball academies that I never really took the time to investigate the partnerships and relationships that play such a huge role in the ministries. God completely knew what I needed to see/experience in my first week and as always he proved faithful to helping equip me to effectively serve here. Which is perfect because I have no clue!


I hope each group this summer will be as big of a blessing as this past group has been!
