About Go Now Missions

Go Now Missions sends Texas college students to carry the gospel of Jesus Christ across our state, the nation and the world. Our goal is to grow  up a generation of mission-minded adults, investing in God’s work across the globe.

Opportunities vary from building a house for an impoverished family to starting a church in a coffee shop. From Alaska to Zambia, students can serve from 1 week to 12 months. Opportunities for service are available during Christmas break, in the summer or for a semester.

To serve, a student must be enrolled in a Texas university, have membership in a Baptist church or be involved in a local Texas Baptist Campus Ministry (BSM). Students attending university out of state can apply if their home church is a Texas Baptist or a GC2 church.

It all began in 1946 when a student missions program, now called Go Now Missions, sent four students to Hawaii to conduct a youth revival and Vacation Bible School. Since that beginning, over 13,000 students have been sent around the world as student missionaries. Students throughout Texas have raised more than $3.9 million dollars to support their peers who have served as missionaries.

Go Now Missions a ministry of the Texas Baptists (Baptist General Convention of Texas, BGCT). Texas Baptists are a cooperative organization of Baptist churches in Texas. The Baptist General Convention of Texas encourages, facilitates and connects churches in their work to fulfill God’s mission of reconciling the world to himself.
