We have been praying for you as your teams get updated and you navigate conversations, questions and creatively engaging our partners in this season. As we celebrate Easter this weekend may we find joy in remembering that our Savior is alive! He is with us. His timing is always perfect. Please let us know how we can support you.
As a reminder, the next wave of GO Team updates and cancellations will go out tomorrow, Friday April 10th. Here’s what to expect, along with some important updates:
- International June & July GO Teams will be cancelled. I will be reaching out to our partners by email and copying team leaders. Your team members will also receive emails with notification and the link to the form they must submit regarding their funds.
- If you are a Leader for these teams please make a plan to connect with your team next week to pray together, answer questions and talk about what it looks like for you to ‘stay on mission’ this year.
- If your team has been cancelled, remember to monitor the ‘Cancellation Fund Request Form’ task in Managed Missions and follow up by phone with any team members that have not submitted their form after 1 week.
- Domestic June & July GO Teams will remain active until further notice. After speaking with our partners at TRAC, Ability Ministry and JAARS we have agreed to reevaluate these teams every 2 weeks and make a final decisions no less than 30 days before their scheduled travel.
- Details regarding how these teams should plan to engage moving forward will be sent to those leaders tomorrow.
- Support raising for these teams remains suspended until further notice. We continue to ask that teams not raise financial support until your team’s travel is confirmed. We will communicate new funding deadlines as more information becomes available.
- GO Teams scheduled for August or later will be reassessed on May 15th on a case by case basis. With cautious optimism we are lifting the suspension of Team Formations for these teams so that you can continue preparation. Here is the information they will receive tomorrow:
- It is our hope these teams will travel dependent on meeting our established safety & security guidelines.
- You are encouraged to meet virtually, pray, and plan as much as is practical at this point.
- Support raising for these teams remains suspended until further notice. We continue to ask that teams not raise financial support until your team’s travel is confirmed. We will communicate new funding deadlines as more information becomes available.
