Why Go With SEND

SEND believes in caring for our missionaries as they make disciples among unreached peoples. Click on the categories below to see some of the benefits you and your family will receive if you become a missionary with our organization.

Development & Training

SEND values training at all stages of a missionary’s career. We provide training onsite, online, or through local seminars, and we also recommend other training resources that will help you become a missionary and make disciples.

Pre-field: We provide training on raising support and preparing for cross-cultural, disciple-making ministry. We assess personal needs and may recommend other beneficial training.
On-field: Missionary coworkers coordinate language and orientation for you. You will also have access to ministry skills and missiological training, such as church planting and coaching workshops.
Leadership: For those in leadership roles, SEND provides training and coaching to help you effectively guide your team as you make disciples among the unreached.
Returning home: SEND offers Reconnect, a three-day group retreat offered at least twice a year for returning missionaries. Reconnect focuses on debrief/reflection, spiritual encouragement, necessary training, and connection to the SEND community and office.

We encourage SEND missionaries to pursue graduate programs, professional seminars and conferences. SEND is a missions organization that values lifelong development.

Missionary Kid Care

SEND cares for the whole family. We offer a specialized focus on missionary children that includes: pre-field training, kids’ programs at conferences, debriefing for children, and care for college MKs who live far from their families.

Missionary Kid Education

Your child is unique and you know them better than anyone else does. Our consultants come alongside you to determine the best education options for your children. Academic testing and MK education seminars are also available.

Support Raising Assistance

We offer a variety of tools to help you raise support so that you can start making disciples among the unreached: training, Member Care Coaches who help you stay on track, timely and accurate receipting of funds, multiple donation options, and access to financial databases to track your progress.

Counseling & Crisis Intervention

The added stress of the mission field can sometimes compound life’s challenges. Our missions organization provides counseling assessment and referrals for those who need extended debrief or professional counseling. Our Member Care Team works with field leadership, the sending church and the missionary to find the best approach.

Personalized Care

SEND cares for you as a person. We stay in touch to encourage you and engage with you on issues of importance. We regularly pray for you. We offer a personal debrief to all missionaries on home assignment and assign a Member Care Coach to help you navigate the demands of home service and accomplish your objectives.

Communication Services

SEND’s Communications team helps you present your ministry to the unreached in a clear, compelling way. Our ministry presentation package includes:

Personal ministry brochure
Prayer cards
Business cards

Your personal web page on send.org will include online donation tools.

We also offer field-specific brochures, videos and web pages that communicate the opportunities to make disciples among the unreached in the place where you plan to serve.
