New York GO is a Bona fide nonprofit organization established in New York City in 1986 to serve as an auxiliary to the church.
For over 25 years, New York Gospel Outreach (New York GO) has offered a unique, cross-cultural missions conference in New York City with a focus on street evangelism and apologetics. Days revolve around a time of worship, prayer, and thorough training in evangelism. Participants would then take to the streets of New York and apply what they had learned. At the end of the week they were challenged to continue sharing their faith within their own communities – at school, work, in their city streets.
In 2007, New York GO entered a season of hibernation in order to recalibrate and evaluate our mission and its service. We have adopted our new name for these two reasons.
1. We have renewed our focus on New York City.
2. We have reignited our desire for impact. “GO” signifies constant action. As people come in contact with us, we approach them as catalysts—inspiring Gospel-centered passion and equipping a Gospel-driven generation of students.
Today, New York GO’s continues to provides High Impact Missional Experiences (HIME) designed to renew, refocus and reignite youth ministries.
