SEND MISSIONARIES WELL

For a lasting kingdom impact

Helping your church SEND and Serve well

Sending a missionary into hard places with the gospel requires clear calling, thorough preparation, ongoing care, and a partner who walks with your church for the long journey.

  • SEND WELL — Before They Go

    We help your church prepare missionaries with clarity, confidence, and strong support.

    • Readiness + calling discernment
    • Initial assessments (spiritual, emotional, relational, ministry fit)
    • Cross-cultural + ministry equipping
    • Interpersonal + personal development skills
    • Partner development + financial preparation
    • Safety + security preparation
    • Deployment requirements (insurance, medical, visas, documentation)
  • SERVE WELL — While They’re on the Field

    We help provide the ongoing coaching, care, and support missionaries need to thrive and bear fruit.

    • Ongoing coaching with care
    • Field onboarding + team integration
    • Ministry guidance from experienced field leaders
    • Holistic care focused on missionary wellbeing and longevity
    • Security support + crisis response
    • Comprehensive insurance coverage
    • Team environments + shared accountability
  • FOR A LASTING IMPACT — Long After They're Gone

    We pursue sustainable ministry where the gospel can take root, grow, and multiply through empowered local communities.

    • Strategic engagement in unreached and least-reached communities
    • Long-term presence supported by strong preparation + care systems
    • Discipling + raising up local believers for continued ministry
    • Pathways toward reproducing, locally led churches
    • Collaboration with the sending church throughout the missionary lifecycle
    • Communication + shared decision-making between church, field, and SEND
    • A commitment to ministry that endures + strengthens communities for future generations

For 80 years, we’ve partnered with churches to prepare, send, and care for missionaries well.
