Imagine traveling to over 50 nations and taking hundreds of believers overseas every year to experience God at work, but not having a relationship with a single person in your own city to pray for.
That was John Gash’s story.
After a powerful time in Africa where John saw God move in miraculous ways he’d never expected to witness himself, he was hooked. Experiencing God by partnering with him in mission ignited his faith like never before. John spent many years leading short-term mission trips, inviting hundreds of people to experience God for themselves around the world every year, like he had.
Then, after almost 20 years of missions, he joined Novo’s Activating Prayer Cohort back home in Orange County, CA. There he was asked to write down five friends in his network who didn’t know Christ.
He literally couldn’t think of anyone.
“I’ve lived in the same house for 43 years, and I realized I didn’t even know the names of most people in my own neighborhood.”
