The GO Conference allows students to see how they can use their vocational training and interests to be part of the Great Commission. During morning and evening chapel services, missionary speakers encourage students to use their lives for kingdom impact, while afternoon displays and workshops expose students to the many cultures and people groups that still need to hear the Gospel. 19 Professor Profile: Jim Leightenheimer
