GO CORPS UPDATE - JUNE 30

Dear Valley Christian Church,
GoWeek 1 finished three weeks ago and it was a great week together. 19 Goers and 1 new staff member all participated in our newly revamped GoCorps Face to Face Crowdfunding Training. All of our Goes spend the 12 weeks after GoWeek enlisting a team of friends and family to partner with them financially and in prayer for their two year placement. They will set-up 10 meetings each week and share a compelling presentation with their prospective partners. GoCorps staff Julia and Katy led the new and improved training and it was the best one yet! In fact, this class of Goers is off to the fastest pace ever in their number of meetings and in receiving commitments toward their fundraising goals!

Here’s two observations from GoWeek 1:
  1. All of us on staff were especially impressed with the depth and quality of the young men and women who were in this class of 2018. From the first welcoming event of GoWeek until the prayer sendoff that closed the week, this group of Goers bonded quickly and were up for full participation and engagement with each of the meetings, activities and trainings. They are a joyful and committed bunch!
  2. Our staff team is made up of 12 staff based in 6 locations in 4 different states. So we always look forward to GoWeek 1 because it's an opportunity that all of us get to work together in close proximity. Each of our staff had a different role in making the weeklong event successful, and it was great to see each of them thrive and work together a team.  

What's next?

For our Goers… They are 3 weeks into their summer campaign to raise up a team of people who will partner with them financially and in prayer. They have 9 more weeks to complete their funding and partnership needs.

For our Staff… For the next month or so, much of our staff are focused on connecting with our supporters to give ministry updates and express our appreciation for our partners.

For GoCorps… We are in the process of creating a specific effort to do much more of our recruiting in the digital landscape, putting things in place to connect our vision with students and young adults through social media channels and other online venues.

Please pray for each of these next steps! For our Goers, staff and for the mission of the organization, each of these are super crucial to going after the vision God has given us!


Together for God’s global work,
Paul Van Der Werf
Founder and Executive Director
GOCORPS
