Our Local Vision

SEND Eurasia’s vision is to partner with local believers wherever possible to plant and nurture healthy, culturally relevant disciple-making communities that can become a movement of the Spirit in unreached and least reached communities across Eurasia. We want to do this by entering local Eurasian communities in ways that make sense to local people, and by building natural, gospel-focused relationships, fostering Bible discovery, and partnering with/training local leaders to lead missional Jesus-following communities in their local contexts.
