The GO International Five Star Standard was created with the understanding of the awesome responsibility that comes with coordinating international trips for young people. The following are 5 standards that we adhere to on all overseas trips:

FOOD AND WATER: The leading cause of sickness while traveling abroad is the consumption of food or water that is not properly prepared. GO International provides only those meals which have been prepared in accordance to proper health standards. Each day young people have access to unlimited amounts of bottled water.

LODGING: When available, GO International holds to a 3 star minimum for hotels that are used while abroad. This ensures that our young people receive ample rest, with the assurance of 24 hour staff security, working fire alarms, and a safe living environment.

SAFETY: When making any decision, safety is our first priority. Youth are required to be in “approved groups” which include at least one leader at all times. The Leadership Team oversees both traveling and group ministry.

QUALITY MINISTRY: We recognize that every young person has worked hard and believed God for the finances to effectively minister on the trip. Team members will be trained and equipped with effective ministry tools for reaching the lost.

SUSTAINED IMPACT: It is our goal that every young person who comes on a trip with GO International will be changed forever. We believe that they will go home with a sense of purpose and direction, and maintain a heart to reach the lost with the Gospel.
