GOCORPS - MARCH 2022

Hello !

It's been awhile but I hope you are all doing well! There has been a lot going on with GoCorps so I thought it was time for an update!

The GoCorps staff was able to gather in person for our annual Staff Retreat in January! It was a great time to focus on what God has in store for GoCorps for 2022 and beyond. On February 22, we announced that GoCorps is partnering with the Urbana Missions Conference. If you haven't already seen our announcement video you can see it here.

But Mike...what have YOU been doing?
Good Question! I have been able to do a little bit of everything since my last newsletter! While my main role with GoCorps is in Operations, I get to put on my mobilization shoes and visit college campuses and talk with students and faculty. Here are some highlights:

• Northwestern College (Iowa) campus visit in November and February to talk with students about using their degree overseas and network with staff and faculty (and I got to have lunch with a great friend both times!)
• Researching and implementing processes to be able to recruit, train and send 100 Goers each year! (See video above for more info!)
• Attended the Midwest Conference on Missionary Care at Bethany Global University in Bloomington, MN
• Implemented a new texting service to keep everyone updated on what God is doing through GoCorps!

Starting April 24th, GoCorps is having its 3rd annual Walk Week.This year we'll be sharing 7 stories of Goers who are serving overseas and sharing 7 ways you can pray for your neighborhood and the world. I'd love to have you participate with me! Please let me know if you have any questions or would like more information.

Some things you can definitely be praying about are:

• Upcoming mobilization trips (Crown College and Northwestern College) would be fruitful
• Prayers for the smaller group of Goers we have for this coming Spring
• Prayers for 2 people on staff with GoCorps who are going through cancer treatments
• Praise God for health and provision for the Nelsons

Thank you for your continued prayers and support! Please know that I try to keep all fo you in my prayers as well. Let me know of any specific ways that I can be lifting you up in prayer.
