Mission trip planning for churches, in one place

Applications, the team roster, gifts, waivers, tasks and reminders for every traveler. GO keeps the paperwork of a trip together so the leader can spend their attention on people.

What GO takes off a trip leader

The same trip, from the leader's desk and from a traveler's phone.

One roster for the whole team

Take applications, approve people, and see every traveler with their role, their info sheet and what they still owe. Invite links bring people straight onto the trip. Parents and guardians are connected to the minors they sign for.

Tasks that tick themselves off

Give tasks to one person or the whole team, with automatic reminders as due dates come and go. When a task asks for something the traveler has already given, like a passport copy on their info sheet, it completes on its own instead of asking twice.

Every gift counted, however it came

Donors can give online by card or bank transfer with no platform fee, or you record checks and cash as they come in and batch them for your finance team. Import a spreadsheet of gifts and undo it if it went wrong. Gifts to the whole team can be split across travelers' budgets.

Each traveler knows what is left

On their phone, every traveler sees how many days until they leave and exactly what they still need to do. Waivers and forms are signed online, a parent co-signs for a minor, and each signer gets a copy of the signed document by email.

Questions churches ask

What is mission trip planning software?

A single place to run a church mission trip: applications and the team roster, fundraising and gifts, waivers and forms, tasks and reminders, and the trip itinerary, instead of spreadsheets, group texts and paper.

How much does GO cost?

Up to 5 active trips cost nothing. Starter is $9 a month and adds online gifts by card or bank transfer. Ministry is $39 a month for unlimited trips, trip templates and every team reading plan. There is no platform fee on gifts on any plan.

Can donors give without creating an account?

Yes. Donors give on the trip's page with a card or bank transfer and get a receipt by email. They can choose to cover the processing fee so the traveler receives the full amount.

Can we raise money for each traveler?

Yes. Each traveler has a goal and a page, and gifts can go to one person or to the whole team. Team gifts can be split across travelers' budgets, and you see who is on track at a glance.

Can travelers sign waivers online?

Yes, on every plan. Travelers sign with a checkbox and their typed name, a parent or guardian co-signs for a minor, and each signer is emailed a copy of the signed document with a record of who signed and when.

A team standing together in a circle
“How then will they call on him in whom they have not believed? How will they believe in him whom they have not heard? … And how will they preach unless they are sent? As it is written: ‘How beautiful are the feet of those who preach the Good News of peace.’” Romans 10:14-15
The beauty of following God comes with the first step. The consistency comes after you realize the power of the first yes. Robert Krause, Founder

The logistics exist so the sending can happen

Nobody starts a mission trip because they wanted to build a budget spreadsheet. They start because someone has not heard, and going is how hearing happens.

But the spreadsheet still has to exist. Flights get booked, applications get read, waivers get signed, and money gets tracked to the dollar. GO takes that weight off the trip leader so the trip can be about the people rather than the paperwork.

There are two yeses, and underneath they are the same one: yes to follow Christ, and every yes after it, from opening his word to going next door or to the other side of the world. Start Discipling is built for the first yes and the daily yes that follows. When that yes sends a team somewhere, GO carries the logistics.

What prepares your team

Booking the flights is the easy half. The harder half is a team that arrives ready, and comes home without losing what happened to them. Both are courses your church already has access to on MKDSCPLS, the discipleship platform GO is built alongside.

Before the trip

Mission Trip Preparation, seven sessions: why go, expecting the unexpected, cross-cultural sensitivity, team dynamics, spiritual preparation, being ready to serve, and what it means to be sent.

After the trip

Journey Home, seven sessions of guided debrief, beginning on the last day. What did I see, the hard parts, what God taught me, how to tell the story, and what now. The weeks after a trip decide whether it changes anything.

Before either of those sits a third: The First Yes, six sessions on why anyone goes at all, written for people with no trip on the calendar. The argument behind it is on Start Discipling.
