Compare – GOMAP

How do I compare?

The compare feature of GOMAP allows you or your ministry team to compare yourself to the people you are trying to reach.

The compare tool can help you discover communication preferences, leading you to ask better questions. For example, a church can better understand a neighboring community, or a short-term team can better prepare for a cross-cultural trip.
