We were blessed last month with the delivery of 20,800 Gospels of John. 50% were in English and 50% were in Swahili (13 cases of 800 each). These materials were provided and delivered by Bibles For The World (BFTW).
We thank BFTW for their generosity and willingness to work with us to serve remote communities in Kenya. This in-country distribution was done as part of our Church Mobilization work in Kenya, where we have 1,317 GO! Ambassadors serving in their communities. Pictured below are representatives of churches picking up their Gospels of John for their use in their communities.

Global Orphan Relief (GO) has been serving orphaned children since 2005. We have accomplished this work to date through local partners in each country that provides oversight and distribution of care through three care initiatives; Home-Based Care, Education, and Nutrition, In 2022, we launched our Church Mobilization Initiative where we are mobiizing the local church to care for orphan children. Last month, we impacted 16,094 children in Asia, Ethiopia, Kenya, South Sudan, and Zambia within these four initiatives.
Beyond the financial commitment of the workshops, this effort is to be indigenous, self-propagating, and self-supporting. Our objective is to engage local churches to expand our GO! network, mobilize the church body to serve orphaned children, and to advance the Kingdom through demonstrating the Gospel to others. Through these workshops we are:
Church Mobilization is our newest initiative launched in February 2022. We are currently working with local area churches to co-host Great Commandment Workshops where we bring together multiple subject matter experts to discuss the why and how to serve the poor generally, and orphan children specifically. We track the impact of children served through this effort to justify continued investment.
We have co-hosted and facilitated twenty workshops in Asia, Kenya, and Zambia that have hosted a total of 3,788 ministry leaders. At the conclusion of these workshops, we have been honored to commission 2,200 GO! Ambassadors who have received the call to serve orphan children in their communities during the workshops. In August, this GO! Ambassador Network served 13,558 orphan children.
