About the Go Concert

The GO Concert is committed to providing life-changing events that inspire a generation to live radical, faith-fueled lives which impact the world. Through cutting-edge multi-media driven concerts, seminars and worship experiences, we engage global justice issues such as poverty, human trafficking, child soldiers, homelessness, famine and many more to help people realize Gods heart for the poor (James 1:27) and to see their role in combating injustice (Micah 6:8) around the world.

We believe that no matter ones age (1 Tim 4:12), we are all called to be an example of Christ to unbelievers. Global justice issues are being discussed in Bible studies, over meal times, school playgrounds and all throughout social networking sites, where people join groups as an outcry against some of these injustices. We as believers have a unique opportunity to repaint Jesus to a generation who are skeptical of the church, by leading the charge in being the voice for the voiceless, holding out our hands to the hurting and showing great compassion and mercy to the broken.

Jesus taught that the greatest law in the universe is to “love God and love people”. Our events aim to re-energize Christ-followers and their passion to reach their families, communities and the world (Acts 1:8). Therefore every event has been carefully crafted and designed, combining some of the best worship leaders, bands, speakers, authors and organizations in “ONE” event, with the goal to EDUCATE, EQUIP and INSPIRE worldchangers.
