THE SEND was born out of the prayer movement The Call. After a catalytic gathering called Azusa Now, a collaboration of leaders came together to found THE SEND. Those leaders were Andy Byrd (Youth With A Mission), Brian Brennt (Circuit Riders), Daniel Kolenda (Christ For All Nations), Michael Koulianos (Jesus Image), Teo Hayashi (Dunamis Movement), Todd White (Lifestyle Christianity) and Lou Engle (The Call). The vision was for a gathering where success was not the number gathered but the number activated to reach one of five key mission fields:

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 the US, Brazil and Norway and tens of thousands of people have committed to take missional action is the result.

In 2024 The Send went fully international with events in England and events planned for 2025 in New Zealand, Scotland, South Africa, Finland, the Philippines, Armenia as well as here in Ireland.
