We call it the 60/70 Window: Alaska, the Yukon and Northwest Territories, Nunavut — names that signal harsh climate, immense geography, isolated communities and intense spiritual needs.
It is SEND North’s vision to see every community of the 60/70 Window filled with local disciple-makers who meet together regularly and have established regional leadership.
Ways that we engage the lost and train disciples:
Many of the communities in the 60/70 Window struggle with substance abuse, poverty, loss of culture, suicide and other problems that present unique challenges for church planting. The people of the north are known to be very creative and relational. They have a strong sense of community and a respect for both the natural and spiritual world.
SEND North personnel seek to:
SEND North is looking for:
The SEND Bulgaria team is small but very active in the community. Our passion is to help churches grow and shine. Currently, we do this by counseling in person and online. We are looking for teammates who can help us expand our reach in the community.
The Bulgarians and Roma are very social and love to interact. A local pastor believes that young people here need role models who can help give them hope and break the challenges of human trafficking, prostitution, drug addiction and domestic violence. In the village where we live, a lot of the younger generation have emigrated or moved to Sofia to work in the city or abroad. The older generation still in the villages have thriving, large vegetable and fruit gardens.
There are great opportunities in Bulgaria for people who are interested in living here and giving hope to the local community. How do you feel the Lord could use you here?
According to local Bulgarian pastors, the population is only 1-2% evangelical Christian. When Bulgaria regained its freedom in 1989, the people wanted to reclaim their national identity. To Bulgarians, this meant reviving Orthodox traditions. Unfortunately for most Bulgarians, that is all that religion means--identity and tradition, often mixed with superstition.
One local pastor said recently that the Lord is activating young people here to evangelize, and that what Bulgaria needs most is people who love God and love people.
In our local area, 70-80% of the Roma are Christian, but according to one of the leaders, they face challenges of unity among the leadership. The Roma youth say that they are bored and have nothing to do.
We have noticed that people are very open to being prayed with and very grateful that we take the time to share hope from the Bible.
Train Bulgarians and Roma in Christian counseling to reach out to their communities
Facilitate new missionaries coming to live and fellowship with the active, local church
Help the active, local church to develop children’s and youth ministries
Help the local church facilitate adult Bible classes and discipleship
Initiate Community Development Projects that create job opportunities and financial stability for local young people
Bulgaria needs people who are determined and optimistic. There are a lot of young people who are hungry for people with hope, who believe that life can work in Bulgaria.
The people are proud and passionate, loving their traditions, climate, language and food while at the same time lacking in confidence to effect change and make things happen. Bulgaria needs people who are persistent and believe that people can change.
Do you enjoy telling a good story? In Central Asia, sharing stories from the Bible creates opportunities to introduce Christ to Muslims. Global Gospel workers in Central Asia meet felt needs in order to build deep relationships through which to share the gospel. We encourage new disciples of Jesus to form fellowship groups and share their faith with neighbors, other people groups, and neighboring countries.
Many Central Asian communities prove hard to enter through conventional missionary service, so this part of the world offers great opportunities for bi-vocational workers whose gospel witness can spring from a visible commitment to loving the local community. Key sectors SEND Eurasia is already working in or hopes to enter, which hold potential for outreach include education, health, community development and administration.
Central Asia stretches from the Caspian Sea to China, and features cultural elements from the East, Middle East as well as from more Western cultures. Local relational ties bind communities together, and changes in faith create relational ripples that are deeply felt in the myriad proud cultures who call any of the five Central Asian republics home. Here, people hold honor, hospitality, courage, loyalty in high esteem. These values afford the global gospel worker with much rich opportunity and challenge in building a place for themselves in this world.
Historically, the Silk Road cut through these many miles of land, acting as a crossroads for the movement of people, goods, and ideas between Europe and Asia. And a centuries-long love of the horse and oral narrative poetry underscore the nomadic roots of this region. Today life in these high-altitude desert steppes, valleys and mountains can also capitalize on space launches, Alpine tourism, Uranium reserves, big oil, and cotton fields. Yet economic instability persists for most average citizens. And while the Russian language operates as the current trade language for many of the “Stan” countries, most Central Asian Republics promote the use of their own languages.
SEND Central Asia desires to build teams that thrive in their communities in order to demonstrate the glory of Christ’s love to the many peoples of the steppe, and have a lasting impact for Christ.
The Central Asian context calls for creative self-starters. As you explore ministry in Central Asia, consider:

Developing reproducing disciples is the key to establishing reproducing churches. SEND Croatia’s vision is to see all regions in Croatia have established, healthy, reproducing, Biblical churches that have societal influence. SEND Croatia comes alongside our national partners to mobilize God’s people, engage the unreached, and establish healthy reproducing churches. A variety of methods include youth ministry, tract distribution, Christian camping, Bible teaching, small groups, leadership development, and creative engagement.
SEND Croatia partners together with the Baptist Union in Croatia to encourage existing churches and to plant new churches in areas where there is no existing church. We work closely with our national partners following their leadership and helping where they need us. We also partner together with Scripture Union Croatia in providing religious education materials and camps for children and youth in the hopes of evangelizing and discipling the next generation.
The culture is shifting—while most Croatians still identify as Catholic, in actuality, they live a dichotomy of “God on one side and life on another.” Interest in church and God is declining. The majority of Croatians are pragmatic agnostics and a growing number would identify themselves as something other than Catholic—Agnostic, Muslim, Atheist, or other.
By the end of 2025, SEND Croatia will, LORD willing:
Croatia is a small country with many small cities. Life is a little slower than the hustle and bustle of the West. People here take time to grab coffee and enjoy each others' company. Many life-giving conversations happen over that cup of coffee. Croatia is a mix of East meets West. We enjoy the conveniences of the West but have a rich-Balkan history that influences many of the people here.
We are looking for humble, flexible, servant-hearted leaders who will come alongside us and our national partners to see God's Kingdom grow. We want teammates who have the heart to serve, being new ideas, make meaningful relationships, learn the language and culture, and listen to the needs of the people and our church partners. We desire to engage people with the gospel in creative and new ways but patience is key when serving here in Croatia. It takes time to see people come to faith, it takes time to see ideas come to life. As the Croatians would say, "polako," meaning take it slow.
The SEND Czech team offers opportunities for all types of people. In the Czech Republic we are looking for a wide range of personalities, abilities, and giftings in order to reach our vision of seeing the Czech people being transformed by the gospel and reaching their neighbors.
Our team is focused on partnering with existing local churches and helping them plant new churches in under reached towns and cities. As we move into these towns and cities we need people who seek to work with youth, young families, broken families, singles, or even the elderly. We want to plant churches that deeply care about reaching their neighborhoods and cities with the gospel. This means that we want to reach all types of people.
Our team is looking for people who love those who do not know the gospel. We want people who are interested in learning about the local culture and are willing to wrestle with the Czech language. The region of the country in which we are focusing our church planting efforts also has a high concentration of people who are unemployed, in poverty, or struggled with addictions. If you have a heart for the disenfranchised, this might be a good opportunity for you. Anyone who joins our team needs to recognize that work here is often slow and hard. We don’t care if you are an introvert or an extrovert, young or old, married or single, with or without kids. We want a diverse team that can help plant diverse churches.
The growing SEND Japan team offers opportunities for you to use your unique gifts and talents to proclaim Christ. We welcome creativity in ministry! Our teammates develop evangelistic relationships through Bible studies, conversational English classes, helping farmers harvest seaweed, cooking classes, YouTube videos, concerts, Christian education, and camp and youth ministries.
If you want to explore missions, our short-term Discipleship House (D-House) internship programs offer hands-on experience in cross-cultural ministry with an emphasis on discipleship.
No matter what type of outreach, in Japan you can help make disciples of Christ, with the goal of starting churches that will go on to start more churches.
The Japanese are the world’s second-largest unreached people group. While Shintoism and Buddhism are major religions, materialism, ancestor worship, and group conformity also influence Japanese culture. Most Japanese consider Christianity a good, but irrelevant, foreign religion.
SEND Japan has a long history of partnership with local churches. You can work alongside Japanese believers to start new churches in the region around Tokyo (Kanto), and in the northeast region (Tohoku), which was hit by the tsunami disaster in March 2011 and still bears scars from that trauma.
God has powerfully used camping ministry in Japan. One in five Japanese Christians put their faith in Christ at a camp! We partner with several camps to reach Japanese young people for Christ.
In the next five years, SEND Japan will:
Japan’s unique culture attracts missionaries who enjoy developing long-term relationships. You will need patience, as Japanese people tend to slowly grow in their knowledge of and commitment to Christ. Flexibility, willingness to adapt to the culture, and perseverance in language learning will help you thrive in Japan. SEND Japan is our oldest field, and our well-established team structures mean you will have ample support as you grow in ministry.
SEND has established a church in one of the fastest-growing suburbs of the capital city, and national leadership has taken responsibility for the ministry. Sports ministry, language classes, and Business as Mission initiatives are key platforms for building relationships and sharing the gospel. A second church is being planted, a third one is in early stages, and a fourth one is preparing for launch.
SEND Macedonia needs:
The SEND Poland team offers opportunities for you to make a lasting impact. We do this by teaming with national believers to establish new churches and facilitating developing churches in southwest Poland.
We are looking for team members to join us in connecting with Polish people through language classes, discussion and game clubs, and sports and youth ministries—anything that builds meaningful friendships!
SEND Poland needs workers who are flexible, adaptable, genuine and patient. We need people who connect easily with others but are willing to commit the time needed to develop real, life-long friendships. This involves learning the language and culture so that life-transformation and discipleship can take place. Biblical knowledge and personal transparency in your Christian walk will be extremely profitable during your time in Poland.
SEND’s work in Romania is just beginning. We are partnering with Romanian church planters to engage lost communities while also equipping local believers to become disciple makers in order to establish churches in unreached areas. Beyond this, we are eagerly working to raise up future church leaders and Romanian missionaries to go to the unreached peoples of the world.
Here in Romania, we develop meaningful relationships through life-on-life opportunities in both the village and city contexts. Our team engages the community through youth ministry, groups for young married couples, Roma ministry, neighborhood outreach, one-on-one Bible studies, and training of future church leaders.
We are currently looking for people to join our team that would diversify our lasting impact. Explore with us new potentials in college ministry, teaching English classes, business as missions, social media influence, community discipleship center, etc. All skills and interests can open doors for the gospel here in Romania.
Romanians Passionate for the Gospel. Romania Transformed by the Gospel.
In the next five years, SEND Romania will:
We are looking for humble, creative and authentic teammates who are eager to build relationships in the community. We are a team that partners with nationals in a variety of ways and it is important for us to be life-long learners. In order to thrive amidst all the demands of cross-cultural living, we prioritize Sabbath rest and spiritual growth. There’s a place for you in Romania if you are eager to: Explore new pathways for community transformation. Engage an unreached people group. Make meaningful relationships. Evangelize and disciple others. Train future church leaders. Mobilize missionaries.
Along with ethnic Russians, Russia’s vast territory includes more than 100 unreached, minority people groups. Ministry here can take many forms in order to reach each of these cultures with the gospel. Whether connecting with Buddhists through English clubs, evangelizing in Muslim communities, or running camps for Slavic students, SEND Russia partners with local believers to engage unreached people groups with the gospel.
While the country of Russia has become more complicated, isolated, and unpredictable than it has been in many years, the fact remains that many in this vast land remain far from any real gospel witness.
Our Russia team has experienced incredible upheaval in the last year, but we are also persevering in gospel ministry in a number of local communities. God is truly at work in the lives of many! Even as we are asking questions about how to persevere for the gospel, many people in Russia are asking questions, which soften their hearts to the gospel. We hold in tension the desire to strategically stay and expand our ministries to new communities, along with the many questions about what perseverance here looks like.
In this context of uncertainty, Russia still offers opportunities for co-vocational workers whose gospel witness can spring from a visible commitment to loving the local community. We are persevering to find how we can enter communities, push through barriers, and make connections for the sake of the gospel.
We invite you to discover how you can make a lasting impact for Christ in Russia. Strategic missionary service and Kingdom development start with prayer! Click here to find a prayer guide for unreached people groups in Russia.
Much of Russia has no gospel witness. About two-thirds of the Russian population identifies with the culturally and politically strong, but spiritually weak, Russian Orthodox Church. Evangelical Christians remain a small percentage of the population (less than 2%), while Islam is Russia’s fastest-growing religion. Large unreached communities of Tibetan Buddhists also live in Russia, as do people groups that practice folk religions. In this spiritual climate, SEND workers develop meaningful relationships through which they share the hope of the gospel.
Russia’s legacy of atheistic communism created a spiritual vacuum, with people attempting to fill their emptiness with wealth, sex, and other material pursuits. As a result, Russia suffers from rampant social problems, including high suicide rates, human trafficking, alcoholism, drug use, and HIV. Mourning casualties of war and the separation of families are also new realities for many, especially in minority communities. In this spiritual climate, SEND seeks to bring the light of the gospel to unreached places and partner with local believers to start new churches. With many local communities within Russia becoming harder to enter, SEND workers, now more than ever, need to be co-vocational, so their gospel witness can spring from a visible commitment to loving the local community.
Eleven time zones sprawling from Eastern Europe to Far East Asia hardly characterizes the utter vastness of this country. The fall of the Soviet state left behind an aged, sometimes crumbling modern society. A continual process of upscaling hums in many urban areas across the country. Today the hard-won stability that people in Russia enjoyed appears again to be precarious. While many in Russia continue to embrace a brand of realism and nationalism that has allowed them to make sacrifices for family, and community, many are searching for more meaning in life.
SEND Russia desires to build teams that thrive and have a lasting impact in their communities—an impact that makes Christ’s great love famous to the diverse peoples of the Russian forests, steppes, cities, and Taiga.
God can use a wide variety of gifts, talents, and experiences in Russia's diverse context. As you explore joining SEND Russia, here are some areas to consider:
The SEND Slovenia team offers opportunities for you to use your unique gifts and talents to proclaim Christ in a beautiful but spiritual needy place in Europe. Our team is praying and working to see a movement of Jesus followers, disciples, who are committed to one another and to bringing hope and transformation to Slovenia and beyond.
In addition to Bible studies, a huge part of our ministry is building and maintaining relationships in our communities in various ways. A lot of this is happening in everyday life. We are committed to live life with gospel intentionality. This includes helping with teaching English and German, activities for kids and teens, creative and learning workshops for adults and working together with local projects. We would love to do more -- you and your individual gifting can help expand what we are doing and leave a lasting impact.
You are a good fit for this team if you enjoy sharing your life and Jesus with others. Our ministry is more about being with people and relationships than it is about programs. We are very open for new creative ideas and want you to use whatever skills God has given you (teaching English, playing sports, music, etc.) for outreach, to serve and to connect with people.
Do you view yourself as a learner? Awesome! We welcome curiosity and a willingness to learn is essential. There is lots to learn here: language, culture(s) and new skills.
We are a diverse team looking for others to join us long term in sustainable service to make disciples here in Slovenia.
Please consider reaching out to us to explore joining our team!
Muslims in this part of Southeast Asia—over 10 million people—have been ignored for centuries by messengers of the gospel of Jesus Christ. Team Hope is our answer to this need. Team Hope aims to be the physical presence of Christ in the midst of a large Muslim community, and to bring the message of our loving Lord, Jesus Christ. This multinational team ministers through education, community engagement, development farming, and community health.
Team Hope focuses on a Muslim group we call the Miga, who were first introduced to Islam by Arab traders nearly 1,000 years ago. They are disadvantaged and poor, often living on the fringes of land taken from them by immigrants from the north. The team builds bridges to Jesus while meeting this community’s significant needs through agricultural training, literacy development, tutoring, community health, and more. We have open doors to minister at a local university and in three unreached communities.
Team Hope needs followers of Jesus to help:
Members of Team Hope love Jesus, enjoy investing in relationships, like to tell a good story, and have a passion to serve Muslims. If this is you, consider:
Members of Team Hope should demonstrate genuine love for people and intentionality in their time, skills, and conversations, in order to bring a Kingdom perspective of holistic ministry into the context of daily life and trusting relationships.
The growing SEND Spain team offers opportunities for you to use your unique gifts and talents to proclaim Christ. Our teammates develop relationships through conversational English classes, business as mission, youth events, music, sports, and community activities. We welcome creativity in reaching all of the people of Spain for Christ. Spain also needs workers who engage and disciple the next generation for Christ. Life-on-life relationships are critical to inviting people to faith and discipling followers of Jesus.We are constantly exploring new ways to engage people in Spain and welcome new teammates who want to make a sustainable, lasting impact!
Spain is at a crossroads: still recovering from the economic crisis during the pandemic while moving from a long history of cultural religion to a modern culture of secularism and materialism. Spain has a deep history that has impacted several continents and traditions that go back hundreds and thousands of years. At the same time, people struggle to navigate the present and future challenges in Spain. The Roman Catholic Church continues to have a significant influence on the life of Spaniards.Spain still has one of Europe's higher unemployment rates. Young people often lack hope for the future. True hope in Jesus Christ is shared through relationships built on time and trust. A strong evangelical testimony is needed, though not present in many towns and cities in Spain. It is estimated that 10 million people in Spain live in rural towns and smaller cities without an evangelical presence. There are many ethnic minorities, refugees, and immigrants in Spain as well in need of the gospel. Most evangelical churches in Spain are small and have few resources, and response to evangelism is slow.
SEND Spain has a long history of partnership with denominations and local churches, working in provinces around Spain including areas surrounding Madrid and Basque Country. Though, the team is not limited to working in these areas.
Our vision is reaching Spain with the gospel and establishing reproducing churches that impact the world for Christ through healthy teams and partnerships. Our team values include service, respect, teamwork, development, and bearing fruit.
- Service - We are devoted followers of Christ who, through a life of servanthood, love and humility, give ourselves to helping others to know Jesus Christ and to grow in their relationship with Him.
- Respect - We in SEND Spain value the strength found in a diverse intercultural community, and through good communication we develop an atmosphere of transparency, trust, and respect.
- Teamwork - We partner together with likeminded co-laborers, whether nationals or fellow missionaries. We commit to serving SEND Spain and to mutually supporting one another.
- Development - In Spain we remain equipped, adaptable, and constantly improving as individuals, local teams, and as an organization to cultivate new ideas and new ways of building relationships, to reach people for Christ and build His Church.
- Bearing Fruit – As competent servants, we persevere in engaging with people by meeting holistic needs to make disciples who assemble in multiplying churches of Christ formed by the Word.
We are currently working on new five-year goals that will help SEND Spain develop as a team, mobilize new workers, reach the lost in Spain, and establish reproducing churches. One initiative we are exploring is expanding a gospel presence into Muslim communities. We invite you to learn more about joining our team!
Life in Spain looks like:
- Continually building relationships with people
- Adapting to the rhythms and culture of Spain
- Using your skills and passions to meet people, share your faith, and disciple believers
- The beauty of the seashore, mountains, and small towns
- Amazing food
- Sharing your story and journey of faith with people in meaningful ways
- Navigating the cultural differences and learning the Spanish language
- Investing in long-term relationships and partnerships
Would you be a good fit for this team?
We are looking for humble, creative, teachable, and persevering teammates who are eager to build relationships in the community. We partner with nationals in a variety of ways and it is important for us to be life-long learners. We walk closely with Jesus in work, rest, and spiritual growth in order to thrive amidst all the demands of cross-cultural living. Passion for Jesus, love for people, and patience are all characteristics that fit well working with the Spain team.
Please note: Due to Spanish laws, children of workers are required to be registered in a school recognized by the government. As a result, homeschooling is not a legal option in Spain for those interested to serve with SEND.
As we look around the small island nation of Taiwan, our focus is drawn to the needs of three groups: the Hakka, university students, and diaspora people from around Asia.
The Hakka are a people group who originally migrated from China to Taiwan in the 1600s, and at 4.6 million people, they comprise nearly 20% of Taiwan’s population. Currently, only a handful of missionaries are working among them and we want to take the opportunity to reach the Hakka community with the message of Jesus through hospitality, English activities, Bible studies and storytelling, and supporting the very small number of Hakka Christians as they reach out to their community. Investing in this minority group and the local Hakka believers is a powerful display of Christ’s love for them.
Taiwan’s university students highly value opportunities to connect with native English speakers. This provides an open door for ministry which includes meeting needs through English activities, building friendships, sharing the gospel, and mentoring young believers. During these pivotal years, students are willing to question the world’s expectations for them. We get to be a voice that speaks love, hope, and purpose into their lives.
SEND’s Diaspora ministry serves diverse communities of Vietnamese, Thai, and Indonesians living in Taiwan. They often come in search of work and a way to support their families at home, but sometimes find themselves in difficult situations. SEND’s desire is to reach out to these communities by offering friendship, sharing the gospel, planting churches, encouraging Christians, and caring for those who find themselves in prison. We have the opportunity to bring the love of Jesus to people who are longing for home and searching for hope.
Whether you are called to serve among the Hakka, university students, or the diaspora, Taiwan is a place where your light can shine. God can use your talents and skills, and even your weaknesses, to draw people to Himself.
In Taiwan, Buddhism, Taoism, Confucianism, and ancestor worship are an integral part of the culture—many people adhere to a mix of them all. Idols are paraded through the streets with a loud procession. Outside the front door of homes and businesses, paper money is burned and offerings are displayed to ward off evil spirits. Ancestors are venerated as a way of caring for them in the afterlife and seeking their favor in the present. When someone is deceased, shoes are placed on their expired body in hopes of protecting their feet from the fires of hell.
Some people perform religious rituals as a way to cover their backs because they are imprisoned by fear. To others, these acts are simply tradition and they acquiesce in order to appease their families. Still, others reject the cultural demands in favor of agnosticism.
Over all of this spirituality, there exists a layer of materialism. The pursuit of wealth and education is a driving force in society, but expectations placed on the individual are difficult to bear. Students spend long hours in school trying to live up to their family’s standards. Adults are often slaves to their employers, working tirelessly while earning very little. Eventually, this fury leads to burnout and disillusionment. When neither possessions nor performance produces peace, some will begin to seek the Lord.

What does it mean to model a cross-cultural vision of the Gospel to believers who have already served well in their own culture and community? What does it look like to work in God’s harvest alongside coworkers whose passport doesn’t look like yours? These are some of the questions God is helping SEND Ukraine answer as a decade-long vision to send Ukrainian missionaries from Ukrainian churches is being realized.
Believers who have been reached and discipled are now partnering with SEND Ukraine and Ukrainian churches to share the gospel with the hundreds of unreached people groups that live both across town, in diaspora communities within Ukraine, and across Europe, Asia, Africa, and the Middle East. SEND Ukraine supports this emerging missions movement through training, guidance, and member care.
In Ukraine, you’ll find a fascinating mix: ancient and modern, urban and rural, scientific and intuitive. Lately, long-held passions for both political freedom and stability characterize many people’s view of modern Ukraine. Clearly people in this ancient land tend to hold numerous values in tension. People in Ukraine often engage others with both curiosity and skepticism, a mix that allows for deep discussions, and requires patient relationship building. Whether you reach out to Ukrainians or to the many other people groups who live here, you’ll experience honest conversations about life, values and spiritual matters. Friendships can take a long time to build, but once trust is established, their roots run deep.
SEND Ukraine desires to build teams that thrive in their communities, deeply impact believers through discipleship and catalyze passion and resolve for God’s global mission.
Ukraine offers opportunities both to reach others for Christ yourself, and to equip Ukrainian believers as they develop their own view of and commitment to global missions. As you explore becoming a missionary with SEND Ukraine, here are some areas to consider:
SEND is sharing the hope and light of the gospel with Muslims in Asia, Eurasia, Europe and North America, with new ministries launching regularly. It often starts by addressing tangible needs through projects such as improving literacy, micro-finance, medical clinics, and community health and development—all in order to build bridges of trust into communities. Through all of this, we explain the truth clearly, with gentleness, love and compassion. Our desire is to make disciples who make disciples. We invite you to join us in life-changing ministry to Muslims around the world.
We share our planet with about 1.7 billion Muslim people. Naturally, such a large group represents amazing diversity. There are regional, cultural and language differences. Some are deeply committed to their faith. Others are more nominal or practice a version of Islam that also incorporates folk religion. Some are refugees who have recently fled violence committed in the name of religion and, as a result, are questioning their faith. Some hear stories of Abraham and recognize Truth. Others dream of Jesus and ask to study his Word. Many see prayers in Jesus’ name answered and want to understand the source of his power. Because God is at work, “we are living in the midst of the greatest turning of Muslims to Christ in history,” says author David Garrison.
Worldwide, there are 300,000 Muslims for every one Christian worker. To change that, we are looking for people to join us. How is God calling YOU to share his Hope and Light?

There are many books that have been written on Islam and reaching Muslims, here is a brief list to get you started.
The United States and Canada have welcomed more than 50 million immigrants, many of them from countries closed to Western missionaries. SEND’s Diaspora | North America workers minister to these displaced people.
Diaspora comes from the Greek verb “to scatter.” Jesus’ parable of the sower features the root of this word; some of the scattered seeds wither, others flourish and reproduce. Many diaspora people — refugees, economic migrants, international students and government workers — have arrived in North America, where we have the chance to sow the seeds of the gospel.
SEND's diaspora workers live among the unreached in several distinct ethnic communities and engage people using diverse approaches that reflect the complexities of each group’s culture. Our overall vision is to share the love of Christ with diaspora people and see reproducing churches established within their communities both here and abroad.
Many of the immigrants that we work with are very open to talk about spiritual things, though they come from different religious backgrounds, including Islam, Buddhism and Hinduism. Being overseas, they are in a place where it’s safer to examine other belief systems. Refugees in particular may have witnessed horrific acts performed in the name of God, which can make them feel nervous about pushy "religion." They need to experience real love, care and friendship.
Our ambition is to love people deeply, help them explore who Jesus is, and see culturally appropriate churches develop that can reproduce themselves. We employ various approaches, but often start Discovery Bible Studies, which can then become reproducible house churches that spread throughout the immigrant community and filter back to people's home countries.
