GO Student Orientation

Go Students Are On Their Way
More than 200 GO students from 96 Oklahoma Southern Baptist churches gathered the weekend of June 28 at Falls Creek Baptist Conference Center to prepare for a short-term missions journey to the United Kingdom.
Referred to as Base Camp, the missions training boot camp was initiated as James Lankford, led students and parents in prayer during a brief commissioning service in the Jennie V. Massey Chapel at Falls Creek.
Following orientation students bid their parents farewell and were immediately escorted to Igosia, a make-believe society where the students were exposed to challenges they might face while overseas.
With luggage, backpacks and pillows in tow, students quickly learned the skills necessary to navigate customs and immigration offices of a “foreign” land. In the end, the practice travel drills provided much needed insight certain to enrich the real-world life skills the students will need in order to be most effective on the missions field in the United Kingdom.
Throughout the experience students were led in a series of Bible studies that taught them the importance of prayer walking, teamwork and being sensitive to the Holy Spirit’s leading while seeking to share the Gospel.
By early dawn Monday morning the students had survived “Igosia” and were loaded on buses to the Dallas airport where they made connecting airplane flights to the United Kingdom. Their goal of making Him known during their short-term missions experience was well on its way.
