ISOW School of Ministry's 1 Million Souls Initiative is part of our missional effort to impact the world with the gospel of Jesus Christ. This strategic evangelism course will be offered to ministers for FREE in the five most-spoken languages of the world: English, Spanish, Chinese, French, and Hindi.
Thank you to these organizations for partnering with us to help us disseminate this course to ministers around the world.
The Church of God is committed to making disciples throughout the world, obeying Christ by fulfilling the Great Commission: “Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world. Amen” (Matthew 28:19-20).
The scriptural purposes for the involvement of the Church of God in missions are:
· To fulfill the Great Commission of Christ
· To share Christ’s love for the world
· To minister to the totality of human need
· To bring men and women to the knowledge of God and to His redeeming grace
· To obey Christ by confessing Him to the world
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.
In the midst of this tense situation, God gave him a vision:
“I saw a massive wave sweeping across the globe, with countless Christians boldly preaching the Gospel. It wasn’t about any ministry or denomination—it was all about Jesus. Believers everywhere, united in evangelism.”
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.”
2012: The First GO Day — A Powerful Start In Nigeria
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.
GO Day was never about big names. It’s about every believer saying,
“Lord Jesus, here I am, use me.”
“And this gospel of the kingdom will be proclaimed throughout the whole world as a testimony to all nations, and then the end will come.” – Matthew 24:14
Here are some staggering facts: Earth's population numbers in the billions, and it's growing every day. There are over 7,100 languages spoken all over the world. 70% of people alive today primarily learn through audible communication, and 50% cannot read at a functional level. How will they ever hear the Gospel? There's no way that one ministry can complete this task alone.
Praise God: We are not alone.
Faith Comes By Hearing has come alongside the worldwide translation community in a movement to finish the task—to ensure that everyone on Earth has access to Jesus Christ’s Gospel in a format they can understand. The various ministries carrying out this work have entered into an unprecedented time of unity, meaning that at long last, after two thousand-plus years, we can finally see the finish line.
Our goal: To work in partnership to see that the Word of God is recorded and freely provided in every language that needs it by the year 2033.
This is it. The final sprint. The Great Commission completed in our generation.
With your help, we will see it done. Come with us on this journey and be a part of changing the world for Christ.
Imagine a world-wide network of hundreds of thousands of trustworthy men and women, young and old – of every race, nationality and language – united in one goal – winning the world for Jesus.
