It is official. 2013 is the Year of the Duck. This calls for a celebration. Instead of trying to round up Kool and the Gang to help us celebrate properly, we decided to join in the fun. I hope you will enjoy it as well. We present to you the iGosian Harlem Shake. Tell your friends.
In honor of Valentine’s Day and the 2011 mascot, we wanted to send a special message from our staff to you:
We decided to record one of our staff meetings for the three people that read our blog and who might wonder what a day in the iGo office is like. None of this is planned, staged, scripted or any other synonym you can think of. We tried to filter through the boring stuff. Hope you enjoy the ridiculousness that is our staff:
The day Allison edited this video was the SAME day we found our new office! Praise the Lord! Be praying for us as we transition to the new location in Wylie.
At iGosia we celebrate the 12 days of Christmas. Check out this sweet video!
In case you can’t understand us due to all the laughter, here’s the list:
1. Suitcase full of T-shirts and Jeans
2. Fake Bus Passes
3. iGo Dollars
4. Flying Footballs
5. Cucumbers
6. Payment Deadlines
7. Different Accents
8. Busy Jimmys
9. iGosian apples
10. Awesome T-shirts
11. Mustard Bottles
12. Octopuses
From iGosia to you – “We hope you have top of sweet celebration with families this season of holiday!”

All of our 2009 Alumni should be receiving the packet Shu mentioned in the video. For those of you who didn’t receive a packet, here’s a little more about the iSend Project:
As you may know, iGo Global is a 100% support-based ministry. Outside of the cost to travel overseas (which is raised by each student), it costs iGo Global $336 per year to send one student. This cost includes recruiting, promotion, website, office expenses, and interns. All of this money comes from supporters who believe in the ministry of iGo and who want to see more students trained to live missionally.
This means that you could help us send one student overseas by agreeing to invest $28 per month in our ministry. You could even send multiple students or an entire team! Here’s the breakdown:
Think about it. We had over 500 students serve with us last year. If more alumni and families decided to stay involved by becoming a sending partner with us, we would be free to pursue more partnerships and continue growing the scope and vision of iGo. The impact would be amazing and it starts with a simple, but very significant commitment.
Plus, if you join by December 31, 2009 you will receive a free copy of Mark Batterson’s book Wild Goose Chase.
If you’re interested in joining the iSend Project and did not receive a packet, please email us at info@igoglobal.org. Be a part of the impact.

Thanks to those of you who were able to join us for the 2009 Annual iGo Global Celebration Banquet this past Saturday. We enjoyed celebrating all that God has accomplished through this ministry. If you were unable to make it, we wanted to post a few highlights from the evening!
Leon is a Chinese college student and living in Japan. Leon met one of iGo’s interns (Turner Vinson) in the summer of 2007 on a university campus. After joining a group discussing Christianity (which involved iGo interns), Leon asked Turner to meet with him later that night after he got off work (which was midnight). Turner met with Leon, shared the gospel with him, and learned of all the Ancient Work in this Chinese college student’s life. That night, Leon became a Christian, and went to the interns’ apartment (where all the interns were awake and praying for Leon and Turner’s meeting) to follow his decision with baptism. The night involved a lot of tears, worship, and celebration for their new brother.
Leon now leads his own house church that he began shortly after becoming a Christian. He is still attending the same university in Tokyo, and helps iGo’s summer interns by being a great connection for ministry on that campus.
Here is a video of his baptism which we showed at this year’s banquet:
We also showed a highlight video featuring pictures of our various teams from the summer. Thanks to all of you who submitted pictures to our office!
Prior to several of our Base Camps this summer, some of our staff decided to show off their dancing skills…Kent clogging and Brad breakdancing?!
