Last week I discovered something that caught me by surprise: May is “Go Month”!
Never heard of it? I hadn’t either — and I’m part of one of the 100+ ministries involved!
Go Month is part of the Go Movement, a global initiative uniting Christians to focus on prayer and evangelism during the month of May. We chose May because it usually includes Pentecost Sunday — the day the early church received the Holy Spirit and boldly began to share the Gospel.
I downloaded their 21-day prayer guide last week and was impressed by its simplicity and focus. The challenge is clear:
Pray for 21 days. Then, on the last Saturday of May — GO Day — share the Gospel with at least one person.
Last year, they estimate that over 1 billion people heard the Gospel during Go Month. That’s astounding. But here's the thing: You don’t need to wait for GO Day.
Some people are sharing with one person a day, others with one person a week. The point is to make space this month to intentionally talk with others about Jesus.
So what could Go Month look like for you?
At our church, we’re hosting a fun day — I’ll be dressed as a clown and using simple tools to start conversations about Jesus.
You might take a different approach.
For example, you could ask a friend:
“I’m looking for someone to read the Bible with me. Would you be interested?”
Or use a simple Gospel presentation like The Four, or engage in conversations through stories using a relational approach.
I’ve gathered a few ideas and resources that might inspire you — all in one place:
Let’s dream big.
What if more than a billion people heard the Gospel this May?
What if some of your friends or your neighbors took a step toward Jesus — just because you prayed and opened a conversation?
Let’s pray. Let’s go. Let’s see what God will do.
