Go Forth…
Go Forth... provides tools to connect with God's mission for you and your ministry. We offer commentary, podcasts, and community to support and form missionary disciples throughout the Church. Our goal is to animate the universal call to mission through the Sunday readings.
Amplify Your Mission with Go Forth...
Go Forth... aims to amplify our universal call to mission by exploring the weekly scriptures in two ways:
- Commentary on the Sunday readings from a missionary perspective - arriving in your email box on Tuesdays to help you prepare reflections, lessons, or homilies
- Podcasts featuring interviews with missionaries in the field, both in the U.S. and abroad, who share their lived reality and experience of the word of God
Our goal is to provide resources that help you amplify the Gospel message and strengthen the missionary church.
