Loving God; Loving People.

Start Here. Meet the Neighbors.

The nations are already here—right in our own city. You don’t always need a passport to be on mission.

At the GoTEN Training Center, we offer free services to refugee neighbors who are rebuilding their lives in Phoenix. This creates a natural meeting place where everyday Christians can connect, serve, and build genuine friendships. As the Church steps into this welcoming space, meaningful relationships form—growing our faith and theirs. Let us guide you as you take steps in God's global journey.

"You have a friend with a truck."

Anyone that’s attempted the classic D.I.Y. move before understands the value in having a friend with a truck. One of GoTEN’s driving purposes is to connect the refugees we serve with an American friend. This often happens naturally in our ESL classes at the training center, as volunteers and students form connections throughout the course of the lessons. However, not everyone connects naturally through small talk. This was Dale’s predicament, as he struggled to establish bonds with the students he was serving, but knew that God had placed in him a desire to develop discipleship relationships within the refugee community.

Dale pondered on this for some time, asking himself “how can I naturally show these students that I am their friend?” Then, one night, it hit him. He had recently lent his truck to a member of his church so that she could move, and was able to be a blessing to this lady simply by offering up a resource. Refugees move rather frequently, and often lack adequate transportation, making the task expensive and/or difficult. Dale had always felt he was more a man of action than of words. Responding to God’s urging, he printed out a simple message on a piece of paper: “Do you need to move a large item? You have a friend with a truck” followed by an invitation to call or text him.

A few days later he got a text, and was able to help a lady who attends class, and her husband, move some items. The couple has since followed up a few times, thanking Dale for his help and letting him know how much God had blessed them through his offer. A couple of weeks ago, Dale got his second opportunity to help — this time, a student that he had been encouraging in ESL class. With the help of several of the young man’s friends, they were able to knock out a pretty large moving project, and Dale was even introduced to some additional members of his student’s community.
