Our Staff
Michael Acker, Executive Director
At a young age, Michael’s parents became committed followers of Christ. They left behind drug smuggling and new-age witchcraft to lead a life dedicated to service through YWAM, community involvement, and full-time missionary work in Mexico.
Their dedication marked Michael’s life and helped set him on a path toward ministry. After college and nearly twenty years of Pastoral ministry, Michael ventured into corporate sales and executive communication coaching, while still volunteering at GO for a season and at their local church.
In 2023, Michael and Taylor began a conversation with the leadership board of GO ultimately becoming the Executive Director at Go On The Mission, committed to aiding impoverished children and breaking the cycle of poverty.
Favorite part of working at GO:
Building relationships with people across the world and seeing the power of partnership.

Megan Aguilar, Sponsorship & Communications Director
Megan grew up in the sweet tranquility of small town life in Centralia, Washington. Her family attended church each Sunday, where Megan fell in love with the Lord. She attended the University of Washington, following her passion for science and the pursuit of laboratory research in oncology and autoimmune disorders.
Over numerous visits with her husband Pedro’s extended family in Argentina, Megan discovered her love for Latin American cultures. After 10 years of working in a lab doing the research she loved, Megan felt the Lord calling her into a new adventure, working in a new field. Having been a long-time supporter of GO on the Mission, and a passionate advocate for seeing children break the cycle of poverty into which they were born, she jumped at the chance to work for GO.
Favorite part of working at GO:
Working at an organization I have long supported!
