Go To Nations

What Go To Nations does

Go To Nations is a 501(c)(3) Christian missions nonprofit founded in 1981 and headquartered in Jacksonville, Florida. The organization recruits, trains, deploys, and supports Christian missionaries with the goal of igniting church-planting movements in unreached regions. Its core programs span three integrated audiences: local churches (empowered through the Global Pathway, Transformational Ministry Training, and Steps to the Mission Field curricula), aspiring individual missionaries (prepared through Missionary Preparation and Orientation, the Nations School of Ministry, and the 10-week Field Internship), and youth ages 14-21 (engaged via the Forerunner program and Mission+30 devotional). Reported outcomes include 2,091 missionary laborers across 121 nations, 7,300+ churches planted, 28,000+ Bible school graduates, and 39 Spirit-led replicating movements across 23 nations, with a 70% missionary 10-year retention rate.

The technology backbone is the GTN Learning portal, a Moodle Workplace LMS delivering courses in seven languages (English, Spanish, French, Nepali, Telugu, Malayalam, plus one additional). Distribution channels include the organization's website for direct donations, Amazon Marketplace for printed training manuals, a proprietary merch store, and a network of church partnerships that serve as both recruitment and curriculum-delivery channels. Go To Nations also operates a wholly-owned community development subsidiary, GloDev Inc., and co-locates with Eden Gardens Farm on a 120-acre northern Florida property that will host the new $9.4 million Global Missions Center (targeted 2026 completion).

Revenue is generated primarily through tax-deductible charitable donations (including monthly recurring tiers of $50-$5,000), supplemented by course enrollment fees ($49-$149 per student/trainer course on GTN Learning), Nations School of Ministry tuition ($1,250-$2,500 per semester with limited early-enrollment scholarships), a $75 non-refundable NSOM application fee, and merchandise sales through the company's own store and Amazon. The organization holds ECFA accreditation and a Candid (formerly GuideStar) Platinum Seal of Transparency, and is currently conducting a Relocation Capital Campaign that has raised $6.406 million of its $9.4 million goal.
