A New Video Series for the Next Generation of Missionaries

Every church longs to see its people engaged in the Great Commission. Yet, for many, the path toward missions can be overwhelming or unclear. In response to this need, we’ve created Guide to GO—a new video series designed to help the next generation of missionaries discover, understand, and take their next step toward global missions.

What is Guide to GO?

Guide to GO is a series of nine short videos—each just three minutes long—designed to give clarity and direction to anyone exploring missions. The series begins with the big picture of what missions is and who can be involved, then moves step-by-step into practical questions like:

• What organization should I partner with?
• What training or education will I need?
• How does deputation work?
• What role does the BBFI Mission Office play?

Each video is paired with a webpage full of supplemental resources for those who want to dive deeper. For example, after watching Who Can Be a Missionary?, viewers can explore articles on seeking God’s will, maps of unreached countries, videos of missionaries sharing the need for more laborers in their country, and resources like the Joshua Project and Operation World.

Why Guide to GO Matters

Through Project938, we’ve been praying for God to send more laborers into the harvest. Our prayer is that Guide to GO will help individuals move from curiosity to clarity in their missions journey. Every believer has a role to play in God’s global mission, and these videos are a simple but powerful way to guide the next generation to say “Yes” to GO.
