Advancing the Gospel in “Word”

Shannon Coenen

As President and Co-Founder, Shannon leads the organization and oversees numerous overseas projects. She also administrates GOF's Shepherd School, a ministry training program. She is an accomplished administrator, preacher, teacher, and speaker with more than 25 years nonprofit and ministry experience.

Our mission is to advance the Gospel in Word and Deed. I am excited to report updates on just some of what your partnership is accomplishing “by Word.”

In some areas where we minister, people do not have the entire Bible in their own language. Further, their leaders lack the tools to teach every part of the Word of God.

And most all Bible students lack basic materials to help them UNDERSTAND the Bible. So, you help us minister to the lost, converts, and believers in ALL of these critical ways.

How and Where You Are Helping Advance the Word

PAKISTAN

A GOF Missionary and the South Asia team are working to translate Old Testament Bible studies into Urdu, the main language in Pakistan. A network of pastors study each Bible book once it is translated to then teach their congregations.

Pakistan pastors study a newly translated Bible guide.

 

DEMOCRATIC REPUBLIC OF CONGO

GOF Missionary Euclide Mugisho and the Congo team just completed translating GOF’s New Testament Bible studies into French. Now they are working to complete the Old Testament studies. These studies will soon be on our website and available to any French speaker worldwide!

A portion of the Book of Matthew study guide translated into French.

AMERICA

Through GOF’s Shepherd School, future and current ministers are receiving practical ministry training. Those in the school are busy serving in churches, marketplaces, jails, and police departments.

We’re working to turn these trainings into a seminar format for our overseas partners who lack internet access.
