Love Does currently operates schooling facilities and safe houses in Uganda, Nepal, India, Iraq, Somalia, Afghanistan and the Democratic Republic of the Congo.

Goff's books Love Does, published in 2012, and Everybody Always, published in 2018, were both featured in The New York Times Best Seller lists. In 2016, Goff created the Dream Big Framework, a step-by-step guide for individuals to realize their full potential and pursue their dreams. Goff enlivens his audiences with optimism, and he equips them with the tools to achieve their own definition of success.
