About GoTEN

Go to every nation.

We help followers of Jesus build meaningful relationships and make disciples among people from every nation—across the street and across the world.

Why we exist

The nations are closer than we think.

Founded in 2009, GoTEN—Go To Every Nation—takes its name from Jesus’ words in Matthew 28:19–20. We believe the Great Commission calls every follower of Jesus to make disciples of all nations.

The biblical word for “nations,” ethne, describes distinct peoples with their own languages and cultures. God is bringing the nations into our neighborhoods, while people around the world still have little access to the gospel. We help the Church respond faithfully in both places.

Our approach

From neighbor to friend to family.

Disciple-making begins with presence, grows through trust, and becomes a shared life in which spiritual conversations happen naturally.

01

Neighbor

Notice the people God has placed nearby—especially those who may feel unseen, new, or isolated.

02

Friend

Build trust through shared moments, consistency, curiosity, and growing cross-cultural understanding.

03

Family

Share life deeply enough for honest spiritual conversations, faith journeys, and disciple-making.

What we do

Four commitments. One mission.

Each initiative helps ordinary followers of Jesus take a practical next step toward the nations.

01

Mobilization

Events, local engagement, and guided pathways help people discern where and how to serve.

02

Training

Online and in-person learning builds cultural understanding, relational confidence, and disciple-making habits.

03

Care

Practical resources and ongoing encouragement sustain volunteers, missionaries, and global partners.

04

Partnerships

Collaboration with churches and global organizations expands access to the gospel among unreached people.
