Go Teams

Global Outreach Teams

Ambassadors Bringing Immediate Help and Eternal Hope

GO (Global Outreach) Teams, bless, encourage, and help meet the needs of those we serve internationally. They also teach us to follow in Jesus’ footsteps as we serve others. They expand our worldview, our understanding of God, and grow us spiritually as we depend on God in new ways.

Through GO Teams, we seek to partner with long-term, embedded ministries in the communities we serve internationally. It’s not about us going out on our own as pioneers. It’s about us coming alongside others to assist in their ongoing ministry and outreach.

Ron and his team have since helped to create five orphanages and a school operated under Baan Immanuel Ministries that provide education, safety, and a loving and nurturing environment to learn about the Lord.

Tim Longo and his family have attended LBF Church since 2002. He is passionate about helping people use their gifts to draw them closer to Jesus through serving Him locally and globally.
