GO Teams
Each year we work with our Global Outreach partners to determine which locations and ministries would benefit from having short-term teams come. Teams then work with these partner ministries to accomplish specific ministry objectives that would not otherwise be possible. Information about each team and resources to begin your application process are below.
2011 GO Teams
We are excited that the Lord allowed us to send teams to Haiti and Cambodia in early 2011. Our teams had great experiences of living out their faith in another culture and making an impact in the lives of brothers and sisters in Christ around the world.
In October our team to Nepal worked alongside national Awana leaders to reach over 1,300 children with the gospel.
2012 GO Teams
February
Honduras
February 24-March 4, we will partner with World Gospel Outreach to send a team to Tegucigalpa, Honduras. This medical / evangelism brigade will have the opportunity to work with nearly 1,500 people over one week. You do not need to have any medical skills; 80% of a traditional team going to serve with WGO will not have any medical backgrounds.
Jobs for the 1 week trip will range in many different areas including assisting in: dentistry, children’s ministry, construction, optical , medical doctor or nurse, pharmacy, and most importantly evangelism. This is a great missionary experience for anybody who would love to spread God’s word to those in need. Team members can range in age 15-90 as long as your health is in good condition. Dr. Ryan Schroeder is leading this team. For more information, contact Ryan at or 701-318-5357.
This trip is currently full.
March
Poland
At the invitation of Darwin Anderson with International Messengers, Pastor Matthew and his family will minister to the International Messengers staff team at their annual gathering in Poland. Please pray for Pastor Matthew and his family and for the International Messengers staff that this will be a time of refreshment and renewal. (Team Closed)
Italy
Continuing our investment in Italy, we are sending a team of women to partner with the local church in a women's ministry. Please pray for this team as they seek to minister to the hearts of Italian women through testimony and music. (Team Closed)
June
California
High School and College students will join together to share the gospel along the beach near San Diego through Operation Good News. Contact Pastor Jonas or Pastor Neal for more information!
July
Haiti
Long term friends in ministry, the UEBH, have invited us to join them for their national gathering to invest in the UEBH school teachers. Most churches in Haiti have a private elementary school providing education and a caring environment for students who otherwise would not be able to go to school. We are priveleged to partner with the UEBH by investing in the teachers and leaders who make this happen. For more information contact Pastor Jonas.
Other Opportunities
Masters Heart Ministries is a local organization having a broad impact in Africa. Through their short term work in Mozambique, South Africa, and Zimbabwe, they have established strong relationships with local churches. We encourage anyone at Bethel to consider joining their teams! In 2011, we are partnering with Masters Heart on a clean water initiative to benefit churches in Mozambique and South Africa. Read more about this effort on our Advent in Action page.
