Missions -Go-Ye Fellowship

A.E. and Jennie Mitchell founded Go-Ye Fellowship in 1932 in Los Angeles. Go-Ye Fellowship began as a missions-themed Sunday School class at evangelist Paul Rader’s church. The first photo below is a photo of that class. (Andrus Merritt for whom the Victory Vase is dedicated is on the second row, second from right. He was also on the Board of Go-Ye Fellowship.)

Andrew and Jennie traveled all over the world (India, Japan, Africa, Trinidad, Brazil, the Holy Land, etc.), mainly visiting their missionary children and working with them for weeks at a time, going door-to-door evangelizing. For the last few years of Andrew’s life he, Jennie and Jennie’s sister Nellie went as missionaries to Brazil. To the right is a photo of Andrew looking out over Sao Paulo, Brazil.

The Go-Ye Fellowship started to send out missionaries in the 1930s. As they went Andrew carved their names on the tiny prayer chapel door in the Go-Ye Prayer Garden at the family compound. (see photo below).
The Go-Ye Fellowship held services in the “Prayer Garden”, and special speakers included Louis Zamperini, subject of the book and movie “Unbroken”, Dick Hillis, Corrie ten Boom, Jack Wyrtzen, “Borneo Bob” Williams, Andrew Gih, Cameron Townsend, Charles Fuller, Mary Stone and others.

Go-Ye Fellowship still exists today and is now called GlobalGrace.
They are based in Plano, Texas.

Go-Ye Fellowship published newsletters, tracts and books, and Andrew sent rubber molds for his plaques all over the world so missionaries could make plaster plaques for ministry. For foreign language plaques the missionaries would send him the words for the plaque and he would draw a design, and then send it back for a craftsman to carve it in clay in order to make a rubber mold. To see the foreign language plaques see the bottom of the “Plaques” section.
