What is
the send?

The Send is a catalytic movement: gathering, training and mobilising young people into the Great Commission.

We are hosting local, regional and national gatherings across Ireland, uniting the church and empowering primarily 16-25 year olds to live for jesus at home and abroad by adopting real mission fields.
In July 2024 the send gathered over 5,000 people at Wembley Arena in London. see the recap:
A Generation on the move...
Since launching in the US in 2018, The Send has seen thousands saved, trained and commissioned into mission. What started in one nation is now a world wide movement in over 10 countries.
Global
Leaders
The Send was founded as, and still is, a collaborative organisation, led by a team of international ministry leaders who resource diverse local teams in ‘Sending’ nations.

The Need for the send
A generation
is in crisis:
Current statistics:
1 in 4 people have 'no religion'
over 100,000 children in care, with many more in challenging circumstances
20% of people in England EXPERIENCING suicidal thoughts
94% of UK adults with no faith or are non-practicing christians

The rise of the digital age, the collapse of the nuclear family, Political uncertainty, and an identity crisis.

Young people today live in a culture of fear, meaninglessness, hedonism and disempowerment.

The Send rejects this. Believing that young people are vital to seeing lives changed and a cultural shift towards missional living, consecrated lifestyles and national REJUVENATION.

5 different ways of gathering
How the send gathers
How the send Mobilises

As the Send gathers it also equips and sends believers to then live out the great commission in a specific mission field. We work with existing missional organisations, building on the work they are doing.

We have 5 core mission fields supported by 3 discipleship structures that aim to root people in the Bible, Prayer and Local community.

At all of the send's gatherings people are given the option to commit to a mission field by scanning a qr code and filling out a form. team from the send and our trusted partner orgs then follow up, helping them to take action by connecting them with EXISTING missional opportunities and encouraging them to talk to discern it further with their local church leaders.

Our Beliefs

The Send is a collaborative, global coalition of Jesus followers, dedicated to the fulfilment of the great commission. We are centred on the Gospel, equipping then sending a global force of messengers to relationally deliver the Gospel message to every person in the world – this is the sound of “GO.”

  • We believe that the Bible is God’s inspired and authoritative word, revealing that Jesus Christ is God’s son

  • That people are created in God’s image

  • That He created us to have eternal life through Jesus Christ

  • That although all people have sinned and come short of God’s glory, God has made salvation possible through the death on the cross and resurrection of Jesus Christ

  • That repentance, faith, love and obedience are fitting responses to God’s initiative of grace towards us

  • That God desires all people to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth

  • And that the Holy Spirit’s power is demonstrated in and through us for the accomplishment of Christ’s last commandment to go into all the world.

These statements signify our belief and what we stand for. We work through the power of unity with those who share these beliefs and with the global Church to remain solely focused on ensuring the world knows Jesus.

Funding

The Send is totally reliant on donations

Imagine if in the next 5 years there was a new generation of God loving young men and women in our nations: boldly living out their faith in their CAREERS, lifestyles, churches, families and friendships. this is what The send is called to awaken.

As we gather and commission thousands into DISCIPLESHIP structures and mission fields we believe that God will raise up boldness in a new generation and speak a radical calling over thier lives that will EXPONENTIALLY develop a new generation of CONSECRATED disciples who raise up disciples.

This vision is only possible through churches, organisations and individuals choosing to sow into this vision and give to the send.

What is
The Send?

THE SEND is a collaborative, global coalition of Jesus followers, dedicated to the fulfilment of the Great Commission. Centred on the Gospel, THE SEND is equipping and sending a global force of messengers to relationally deliver the Gospel message to every person in the world – This is the sound of “GO”.

The vision is to create mass gathering events where success is not the number gathered but the number activated to reach one of five key mission fields:

Nations
Secondary
Schools 
Universities
Serving Vulnerable
Children
Neighbourhoods
& Workplaces

From the first gathering at Camping World Stadium in Orlando, Florida it was clear this was not an event but a movement: a generation was ready to move from inspiration to action. Over the last years THE SEND has filled stadiums and arenas in numerous US cities, Brazil and Norway and consequently tens of thousands of people have committed to take missional action.

3 areas of impact:
origins

THE SEND was born out of The Call, a mass prayer movement in the US, which gathered people in stadiums to pray for the nations. For over 20 years The Call planted a seed of hope until God spoke radically to its leaders that The Call was to become THE SEND, to move from praying for missions, to commissioning a missionary movement. Around this a team of highly experienced international leaders have come together to lead THE SEND: Andy Byrd (Youth With A Mission), Daniel Kolenda (Christ For All Nations), Francis Chan (Crazy Love), Teo Hayashi (Dunamis Movement), and Andreas Nordli (YWAM Norway).

After 5 mass events in the US, 3 in Brazil and 1 in Norway THE SEND is continuing to spread to new nations who can taste and see what God is doing and are hungry. In October 2023 teams from 5 nations and The UK & Ireland were trained and commissioned to carry THE SEND into their nations.

“But how can they call on him to save them unless they believe in him? And how can they believe in him if they have never heard about him? And how can they hear about him unless someone tells them?”

how the send gathers

THE SENDs goal is not just to gather 100,000 youth and young adults into a stadium but to train and send 100,000 out ready for the Great Commission.

TRAIN 100,000, GATHER 100,000, SEND 100,000.

Our strategy is built in layers small to large with each layer building on the previous one and pointing to the next:

how the send follows up

THE SEND seeks to minimise the gap between inspiration and activation.

It aims to both inspire and call people to engage with God’s mission whilst equally providing clear and accessible opportunities to do so by partnering with local churches and organisations. 

This happens in two interrelated ways:

Partnering

There are several partnership roles we are seeking for THE SEND. These vary in depth and commitment but each position requires people who are committed to our vision to see Jesus move radically in our young people.

Key factors we will be looking at:

  1. A clear trusted ministry, visible through its fruit or trusted recommendation
  2. Committed to the vision and values of THE SEND
  3. Ethnic and gender diversity
  4. Willingness to take responsibility for the role they fulfil
  5. Willingness to represent THE SEND to their network of relationships
  6. Willingness to encourage financial and prayer support
