About Go & Tell Ministries

Fulfilling the Great Commission by making disciples who make disciples.

Go and Tell Ministries Workshops and Resources are based on scripture, stories, and simplicity to equip you to share the gospel and make disciples. Go & Tell Ministries seeks to equip the church to share the gospel and make disciples through a variety of evangelism and discipleship tools. 

Our mission is advancing the Gospel through strategic evangelism and discipleship tools.

Go and Tell Ministries was born out of a critical need for effective evangelism and discipleship tools. We fill this need by empowering every Christian with fundamental steps for intentional ministry.

We believe evangelism is for all church members.

That’s why we focus on equipping believers with powerful tools to share their faith. Our goal is to encourage Christians to befriend the lost. We reverse the evangelistic strategy from “you come” to “we go”. In doing so we enable all believers to focus on making disciples who make disciples.

OUR VISION

"The body of Christ fully engaged in their walk with Jesus Christ by delighting in God declaring the gospel and making disciples."

About the Ministry

Go & Tell Ministries was founded and received its 501(c)3 non-profit status in September of 2020. This ministry was created out of a great need for more laypeople to be equipped to share the gospel with the lost. After much prayer and supplication the Lord gave Pastor Jim a vision of how to equip the body of Christ to easily share the gospel and fulfill the Great Commission. With the Lord’s continued leading he analyzed the best evangelism materials out there incorporated his 40+ years of evangelism experience and produced a step-by-step easy-to-follow evangelism approach. Since then he has been teaching and providing these evangelism materials to churches ministries and laypeople who wish to be better equipped in their evangelistic efforts.
