The name is an instruction.

It was during Reformation weekend in 2010 that Werner Nachtigal had a powerful encounter with God. He was in Pakistan at the time, an extremely dangerous place for sharing the Gospel, so dangerous that their team had to be protected by several snipers.

For two days, Werner was overwhelmed by God's presence. Yet one question kept repeating: “Mobilize the whole world for evangelism? I was just an unknown evangelist with no money and no network. Either this vision was from God… or it was completely impossible.”

The first GO Day (Global Outreach Day) was launched in Lagos, Nigeria, at one of the world's largest church arenas. The day began with a powerful prayer gathering on Pentecost Saturday, followed by believers going out to share the gospel.

The next day, the GO team took many Christians to Kuramo Beach, home to some of Lagos' poorest. Around 500 people gave their lives to Jesus that day. Not long after, a tsunami hit and wiped out the entire beach. Many died, but those who had accepted Jesus were no longer there.

That moment drove home a powerful truth: the Gospel needs to be shared with urgency — someone's eternity could be at stake.

GO Day spread to over 100 countries. At a mission conference, leaders from Nepal committed to reaching every household with the Gospel, an ambitious goal in a largely Hindu nation. Some Christians walked for days to bring the message to remote mountain villages.

By now, believers in 135 nations were involved. In Ghana, 741,150 people came to Christ through a nationwide campaign. In China and India, evangelists faced intense persecution. Across Africa the movement surged: in Nigeria alone, 30,000 churches were trained in personal evangelism, leading to 95,030 conversions.

In the Dominican Republic, 200,000 believers joined GO Day. Over five years, more than 100,000 were baptized, including a 100-year-old woman and several prisoners.

On 21 February 2018, the day Billy Graham passed away, global church leaders met and launched the vision for GO 2020: to mobilize 100 million Christians to reach 1 billion people.

After two years of planning, GO 2020 was ready. Then Covid-19 hit, and it felt like the world stopped. Yet Christian leaders believed GO 2020 was meant for this moment. Despite the crisis, over 50 million Christians united in prayer, compassion and Gospel outreach.

In 2023, Christians from around the world united to launch the Decade of Evangelism, a global mission to reach the world with the Gospel by 2033. On the Southern Steps of Jerusalem, 850 believers gathered in person, joined by millions online, as leaders from many nations prayed for a worldwide harvest.

Three things are remembered from that day: the first May rain in Jerusalem in 46 years, seen as a sign of God's favour; the largest protest against Christian prayer in recent city history, which did not stop the prayer; and a power cut mid-prayer, during which the livestream continued and Werner Nachtigal declared, “Not by might, not by power, but by Your Spirit!” (Zechariah 4:6)

GO Movement launched its Training of Trainers initiative, a strategic effort to build a multiplying network of leaders. The program certifies Master Trainers who commit to training others, creating a sustainable cycle of evangelism and leadership.

Initial trainings took place in Nairobi, Honduras and Brazil. In Nairobi alone, 326 participants were trained, with another 310 reached across Kenya. Each session ended with practical street evangelism.

Every participant makes a personal “I will” commitment to live a lifestyle of evangelism. Each Master Trainer pledges to equip at least 20 others, following a generational model inspired by Paul and Timothy.
