Starting here. Going there. Making disciples of all nations.
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.
Get StartedA month into 2026, we are hard at work and back to business at GoTEN, where we continue to focus on helping refugees learn English, get jobs, and experience Christian community.
Our sewing ministry and its storefront, Shop Refugee, saw encouraging success in 2025. In addition to opening the store for in-person shopping over the summer, the program has a healthy roster of 22 seamstresses currently enrolled and experiencing the community that we strive to create. These seamstresses connect with seven weekly volunteers, but there is always a desire for that to expand. Four currently active sewing classes are offered each week and we would love to get you connected!
ESL classes are back in full swing as well, and continue to fill classrooms with motivated students eager to practice their English with a native speaker. We are often operating at capacity in terms of students, but rarely volunteers. There are always opportunities to serve in our ESL classes!
