3.4 billion people have never heard the good news of Jesus,
millions of school & university students don't know a believer,
hundreds of children without a family and
countless lost communities and workplaces.
The send rejects this. Activating BELIEVERS to take action.
>> A generation in need:
In the UK & Ireland, less than 6% of 16-25 year olds (Gen Z) actively follow Jesus. Yet, all over we see that God is moving and that this generation is ready to live all in for Jesus.
Despite the constant CHALLENGES they are facing to their identity, purpose & morality, many are seeking authenticity, spirituality and truth. A growing percentage of whom, have never interacted with the christian faith before.
The Evangelical Alliance's latest research shows that a staggering 1 in 3 people are open to talking about Jesus.
This is the opportunity of a generation.
The Send is gathering these Gen Z into catalytic events. Here they are called into making an all in response to follow Jesus calling for a life of mission at home or abroad.
Youth and church leaders across the nation call this the catalyst they’ve been waiting for; a crucial piece in God’s answer to FERVENT prayers for this generation.
In 2024 the send gathered 6,000 across the UK at regional church gatherings and 5,000 in Ovo arena Wembly london for our first arena gathering. in 2025 we plan to EXPONENTIALLY grow this.
>> More than just gatherings
As young people are gathered and commissioned, The Send shares these COMMITMENTS with our partners organisations who follow up with each individual and help them to turn their commitment to action, discerning with them pathways into mission.
Our 5 core mission fields are secondary schools, Universities, Communities & workplaces, serving vulnerable children and the nations.
Each of these is grounded in 3 discipleship structures of prayer, Bible DEPENDENCY and community (Spotfires).
>> Working with What God is already doing
YWAM and The Gregory Centre for Church Multiplication (CCX) have combined their energy and decades of experience to host The Send UK & Ireland, alongside mission agencies and networks like Fusion, 24-7 Prayer, UCCF, Scripture Union, Steiger, Philo Trust, OM & Alpha.
The Send is not here to replace EXISTING organisations but to embolden them; Working with them to define PRACTICAL pathways into mission that UTILISING what God has already been doing.

Over the next 12 months, travelling teams will continue to release the vision of The Send through local church ‘Send Experience’ events, engaging over 1,000 churches and 30,000 young adults; building up to 5 arena events:
- Glasgow (29 March)
- Belfast (17 may)
- Dublin (01 Nov)
- London (16 Nov)
- Leeds (22 Nov)
These arenas will gather over 50,000 young adults for an afternoon and evening of live worship and COMMISSIONING from International bands and speakers alongside local contributors bringing inspirational teaching, worship and prayer.
>> £1.5M will enable us to secure all 5 arenas
From the start the send has been a step Of FAITH AND OBEDIENCE. A response to what we see in The Bible and to what we feel God has been speaking prophetically.
We are believing for God's provision through FINANCIAL partnerships from Churches, organisations and individuals; prayerfully and boldly funding the movement and investing in seeing a generation trained, equiped and mobilised.
The time for your help is now.
The cost to secure all five of our planned arena events is £1.5M. This amount covers the venue, production and LOGISTICS as well as allowing us to very heavily subsidise tickets to make each events as accessible as possible.
We don't take this lightly. many of our team are voluntarily sacrificing their time, resources and lifestyles to make the send happen, holding onto the belief that this could be the generation that sees the great COMMISSION fulfilled.
