Testimonials

My time overseas has been such a rich experience. Through witnessing injustice and brokenness day in and day out I was faced with the reality and weight of sin. I am so much more aware of the need and goodness of the Gospel. It truly is good news! And we are commanded to share with those who have no hope and are in the dark. Personally, I grew in my dependence on the Lord for strength every day; I understood more fully how I am finite. Moving overseas shortly after graduation also enabled me to grow in professionalism as I was independent in my responsibilities. Finally, I grew in understanding of what it means to trust God with my life and the lives of those I care deeply about. He sees them! And is an all-knowing, sufficient, loving Father. (Dec. 2023)

I entered the mission field as a young man with big ideas and little (no) experience. GoCorps came alongside and paired me with a long-term missionary, and the two years that followed tested and tried me in ways that I never expected. My time in the field was life changing, and I would not trade it for anything. After serving overseas, I joined GoCorps to put the lessons learned to use supporting others as they took the leap to say yes to God and see where He leads them! Though I no longer work in ministry, I am still using the lessons learned by serving overseas to witness to friends and coworkers from all walks of life. Saying yes to two years will lead to some of the hardest and greatest experiences you could ever imagine! (Dec. 2023)

I am so thankful that I got connected with GoCorps! They made narrowing down the vast pool of teams and organizations so much easier. The staff at GoCorps truly care about their Goers and are committed to partnering with us. I've thoroughly loved my time overseas and I wouldn't have found this team if it wasn't for them. Even if there's a little part of you that thinks "maybe I could do this," I'd highly encourage you to go for it! Who knows what doors God will open when you say yes? (Oct. 2023)

I initially discovered GoCorps at a winter missions conference. I had recently graduated from UT Austin in Petroleum Engineering but was considering various options for what was next post graduation. GoCorps fit the need of combining my interest in sports/business with missions. 

I ended up choosing a business placement in Eastern Europe. Now I am currently working part time at a local tech firm in sales/marketing while still getting to serve with the church and do ministry with kids in rural towns. GoCorps helped me to bridge my career/work interests with my passion for ministry and missions overseas and provides a great stepping stone for anyone looking to try out midterm missions.

I am very grateful to GoCorps and the role it played in helping me get overseas. I really believe that without GoCorps, I wouldn't have come at all. I was initially recruited by a coach who is a dancer, and she opened my eyes to see how dance could be used on the mission field. The one-on-one coaching helped me make the final commitment and find the right team for me. My coach also supported me a lot during the fund-raising process when I was experiencing a lot of anxiety about whether this was the right decision. GoWeek and the fundraising training gave me such important spiritual foundations and practical tools. My sending organization has very little fundraising training, and so I am extremely grateful that I joined through GoCorps and was helped every step of the way through was can be a very difficult process. Throughout my time overseas, my coach periodically checked in to see how I was doing. I am extremely grateful to GoCorps and the role they have played in my journey overseas. (Sept. 2023)

I knew I wanted to go overseas at some point in my life, I just wasn't sure when. GoCorps' challenge to tithe the first fruits of my career & how easy their excellent coaches make the process of finding & choosing a placement made it obvious to me that God was saying "go now." (Jul. 2023)

The GoCorps staff are amazing! The coaches are so intentional and organized. Everyone is committed to their mission/vision and find fun and creative ways of making it happen. They have amazing tools and resources that make the support raising process feel less daunting and do an amazing job of taking it one step at a time while being your cheerleaders for the whole process. They are great! :) (Jul. 2023)

I highly recommend serving in a foreign cultural context for all young adults. Living outside my comfort zone forced me to rely on God. During these times God molded my heart working in me more than I feel through me. This paradigm-shifting, perspective-altering 2 year experience was invaluable in my personal growth professionally and spiritually. (Jul. 2023)

A big reason of why I wanted to serve with a ministry for my first two years of work was because I wanted to build the foundation of my working life on biblical principles with people who were like-minded and would point me to Christ, both enlarging and focusing my sights on God. I'd say this experience did just that. I was able to learn and reflect more on my spirit, interactions and tendencies with people, my relationship with Jesus, my trust in God and guidance by the Holy Spirit. All the while gaining experience in professional networking and program development which was new and challenging. These two years were a unique period of growth that I'm really grateful for, and positive it will continue to shape my future growth. (Jun. 2023)
