The GO Equipped courses run by Global Intent and Tent International are hard hit by the Covid 19 travel bans. The two sister agencies are now working hard to make their training courses available online.

“Our GO Equipped-courses have been in higher demand than we have been able to deliver. For years we have wanted to make it possible to take the courses online. The increased number of ‘live’ courses has however slowed down the work of preparing things for a digital platform. Now it looks like course cancellations due to the Covid 19 outbreak may give us the needed time to bring the teaching online. Online courses will give us capacity to train more people, so something good will definitely come out of this crisis,” says Global Intent’s director Phill Sandahl.

Many cancellations

For now planned GO Equipped courses in Nigeria in March and South Africa in June have been postponed or cancelled. A course in Norway in May is pending until Norwegian authorities give further instructions on what people there may or may not do next month. GO Experience seminars in Liberia and Brazil have also been postponed or cancelled.

How can the wonderful, connected world of instant communication be seen as a challenge? Are these “channels” not an incredible way to remain connected with family, friends, co-workers and even the church back home? Have you noticed that most video calls are now high definition?

The vision of every tentmaker I have ever worked with is to bring the Gospel message to hard places, where few if any Jesus followers are seen or heard. It takes a commitment to that vision every day if we are to see people being transformed and disciples being made.
