Bob Wielenga, Founder & President
1980 changed Bob’s world when he went on his first short-term mission trip to the Dominican Republic. It was on that trip that Bob began to realize that if he was to become a disciple maker he needed to become aware of the opportunities God was giving him on a daily basis to teach others about Him. Now, with 40 years of ministry experience, Bob has directed and coordinated more than 500 short-term mission experiences, leading more than 15,000 individuals to an understanding of a Christian worldview. An internationally known public speaker on the topics of effective stewardship, generosity, mission development, and discipleship, Bob has trained and educated leaders in more than 80 countries.
With a passion to train others to become disciples of Jesus and disciple makers, Go Develop was launched in 2003 to equip God’s people to do His work and build up the Church, the body of Christ.
