A message from the president

Many independent ministries help the Seventh-day
Adventist Church take the Gospel to the world. Some
are more supportive and loyal than others to the
church. One of the most loyal is Gospel Outreach
(GO).
In a very real sense, GO is not an independent
ministry, because 100 percent of the 2,400 lay
evangelists funded by this organization are employed
by the regular mission sections of the church. These
mission sections recruit, hire, train, and supervise
the GO evangelists.
All of the officers, division
directors, board members, and helpers are unpaid
volunteers.
GO is just a fundraising ministry enabling the
church to enter hundreds of otherwise unentered
cities and villages. GO has no employees, because
100 percent of the officers, division directors,
board members, and helpers are unpaid volunteers.
Claiming God's amazing promises, thousands of
people each month trust that God means what He says,
and they send a sacrificial gift.
"If men will become channels through which
heaven's blessing can flow to others, the Lord will
keep the channels supplied" (Counsels on
Stewardship, p. 36).
"The more we bring to God's treasure house, the
more we shall have to bring: for He will open ways
before us, increasing our substance" (Our High
Calling, p. 197).
