“But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth.” – Jesus, Acts 1:8

This verse contains the marching orders for Jesus’ followers. Theirs would be a life on mission. They were going to be witnesses to all the nations.

But they didn’t…at first. They holed up in Jerusalem, which wasn’t all bad. After all, God was adding to their number daily. But that all changed the day Stephen was killed. The Bible tells us that on that day persecution broke out against the church. Notice the result of that persecution:

And there arose on that day a great persecution against the church in Jerusalem, and they were all scattered throughout the regions of Judea and Samaria, (Acts 8:1)

The result of the persecution is that Christ’s followers were scattered throughout Judea and Samaria. Sounds familiar doesn’t it? We could probably camp out right here for a while and discuss a lot of deep doctrinal truths (and maybe someday we will come back and do that), but let me make one simple observation on this point.

God will accomplish His purposes. 

This is without question. You can count those chickens even before they hatch. God wants His disciples to take His message to Judea and Samaria, and He will make that happen.

In fact, God is still pointing His disciples to the nations. His plan and purpose is to be worshipped by every nation (AKA people group) on the planet. And His plan is Right. On. Schedule.

At iGo Global, we have had a front row seat for the last 14 years. We have been able to watch (and be a small part of) God carrying out His plan with a generation of students. A generation willing to go the ends of the earth to make Him famous. And we have countless amazing and inspiring stories.

God seems to be writing a new chapter in this story. Over the last few years, we have noticed some significant changes. The nations have come to us. In Acts 8, God scattered his disciples into the nations. In 2014 it seems that God has scattered the nations into places like Plano, Texas, Oklahoma City, and Fort Worth.

At iGo Global, we want to join God in this part of story as well. And we want you right there with us.

Introducing Launch Box 2015. Launch Box is a week on the ground in Plano or Oklahoma City engaging some of the world’s least reached peoples. People from nations with little or no access to the gospel…until now. Now they have been scattered into Plano looking for a new start or a better life. Now they have found themselves in Oklahoma City in order to escape serious danger back home. iGo has partnered with a couple of local churches in these two locations in order to provide an opportunity for your student group to engage the nations.

Come join us. We are going to worship together that week. We are going to learn together from the Word. We are going to get trained together on how to effectively live on mission. We are going to have some serious camp-style fun together. We are going to make Him famous together. And we are going to launch your group from this week back into a life on mission in your hometown. It’s going to be amazing.
