OCTOBER 9-13, 2024
WILLIAM TYNDALE
In 1524, William Tyndale embarked on a dangerous journey to translate the first English Bible. As a result, the Western world owes a great deal of its biblical literacy and accessibility to Tyndale’s work.
In honor this 500th anniversary, the theme of GO Conference 2024 is The Word to the World, as translation remains a central part of the missionary endeavor.
