Tennessee has adopted The Golden Triangle as our State Missions Project - 2023-2024. The Golden Triangle is approximately 327,000 square miles centered around the Mekong River that connects Myanmar, Laos, and Thailand. The influence this area exerts on the reset of the world is almost indescribable.
The GTO (Golden Triangle Objective) will strategically target the Last, the Least, and the Lost of humanity by ministering in four main categories which are: prison ministry, human sex trafficking, drug addictions and Christ-centered evangelism.
