How often does a GO Group meet?
We suggest that GO Groups meet once a month. This allows for group members to still be involved in their regular small groups and other ministry activities.
Does my GO Group replace my regular small group that I am already apart of?
No, your GO Group is not meant to be a replacement for your church small group. The main focus of your GO Group is missions so it is important that you are also meeting with your regular small group to discuss other issues and to live in accountability to other believers.
Where do GO Groups meet?
GO Groups meet throughout the Philippines, wherever a trained GO Group leader is present.
Who are GO Groups for?
For anyone who is interested in missions and would like to grow in their missions involvement. Whether you are just learning about missions for the first time or have already been overseas, GO Groups can be extremely beneficial to you.
What will be discussed in my GO Group?
The short answer is missions. Specifically you will learn more about missions and God’s heart for the nations, the needs of countries for missionaries and prayer, and you will discuss your own personal journeys into missions.
I want to start up a GO Group in my area. How can I do this?
All GO Group leaders have to go through the half-day Group Leader training. See the Group Leader training tab below for upcoming training dates, qualifications of a Group Leader, and to apply to be a leader.
Do you have to be a member of SEND in order to join a GO Group?
No, we welcome people from all different churches and organizations to become a part of a GO Group.
Do I have to go on missions or be preparing to go on missions in order to join a group?
No. GO Groups are perfect even for those who do not feel called to go on missions but rather to send others.
How long should I be a part of a group for?
It is really up to you. We suggest that group members be a part of a group for a year, but for some, this is not possible and that’s ok!
How many members are in each GO Group?
A GO Group can be as few as 3 members and as many as 8. We encourage groups that reach about 8 people to split off to allow for more personal discussion.
