Who is YUGO?
As the Spanish word for "Yoke", it reminds us that Christ said "Take my yoke upon you and learn from me...(Matt. 11:29). It is also an acronym for their incorporated name: Youth Unlimited Gospel Outreach. It is also a statement that even YOU can GO help fulfill God"s Great Commission to bring the Gospel to every nation.

YUGO began in 1964 and was incorporated as a nonprofit mission sending agency in 1965. Their purpose is two fold: to work to evangelize Mexico while challenging the church in Mexico and North America to be involved in missions.
