“Later the Lord chose 72 other followers and sent them out two by two to every town and village where he was about to go”
About Go!
Jesus did not select disciples, he selected “followers”. He gave them instructions and sent them on their way. He told them to look for people of peace, to heal the sick, and to tell people about God’s kingdom.
Go! Is a new innovation that will transform Northern Virginia. It is an initiative focused on building relationships and creating community. It is an equipping and training experience that will prepare you to have life-altering conversations.
GO! began in August of 2024 with a group of travelers embarking on a journey. They did not travel alone. They met with others who are experimenting with building community. They had coaches who will walk with them. By the time Go! concludes, this group will have experimented, innovated, met new people, and changed the landscape of Northern Virginia.
