What is
the send?

The Send is a catalytic movement; gathering, training and mobilising young people into the Great Commission.

We are hosting, local, regional and national gatherings across the Uk & Ireland, uniting the church and empowering primarily 16-25 year olds to live for jesus at home and abroad by adopting real mission fields.
In July 2024 the send gathered over 5,000 people at Wembley Arena in London. see the recap:
A Generation on the move
Since launching in the US in 2018, The Send has seen thousands saved, trained and commissioned into mission. What started in one nation is now a world wide movement in over 10 countries.
Global

The Need for the send
A generation
is in crisis:
Current statistics:
1 in 4 people have 'no religion'
over 100,000 children in care, with many more in challenging circumstances
20% of people in England EXPERIENCING suicidal thoughts
94% of UK adults with no faith or are non-practicing christians

The rise of the digital age, the collapse of the nuclear family, Political uncertainty, and an identity crisis.

Young people today live in a culture of fear, meaninglessness, hedonism and disempowerment.

The Send rejects this. Believing that young people are vital to seeing lives changed and a cultural shift towards missional living, consecrated lifestyles and national REJUVENATION.

How the send Mobilises

As the Send gathers it also equips and sends believers to then live out the great commission in a specific mission field. We work with existing missional organisations, building on the work they are doing.

We have 5 core mission fields supported by 3 discipleship functions that aim to root people in the Bible, Prayer and Local community; providing a traditional support structure from which they can discern, grow and understand what it is to missionaly serve their chosen mission field.

At all of the send's gatherings people are given the option to commit to a mission field by scanning a qr code and filling out a form. team from the send and our trusted partner orgs then follow up, helping them to take action by connecting them with EXISTING missional opportunities and encouraging them to talk to discern it further with their local church leaders.

Our Beliefs

The Send is a collaborative, global coalition of Jesus followers, dedicated to the fulfilment of the great commission. We are centred on the Gospel, equipping then sending a global force of messengers to relationally deliver the Gospel message to every person in the world – this is the sound of “GO.”

  • We believe that the Bible is God’s inspired and authoritative word, revealing that Jesus Christ is God’s son

  • That people are created in God’s image

  • That He created us to have eternal life through Jesus Christ

  • That although all people have sinned and come short of God’s glory, God has made salvation possible through the death on the cross and resurrection of Jesus Christ

  • That repentance, faith, love and obedience are fitting responses to God’s initiative of grace towards us

  • That God desires all people to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth

  • And that the Holy Spirit’s power is demonstrated in and through us for the accomplishment of Christ’s last commandment to go into all the world.

These statements signify our belief and what we stand for. We work through the power of unity with those who share these beliefs and with the global Church to remain solely focused on ensuring the world knows Jesus.

Funding

The Send is totally reliant on donations

Imagine if in the next 5 years there was a new generation of God loving young men and women in our nations; boldly living out their faith in their CAREERS, lifestyles, churches, families and friendships. this is what The send called to awaken.

As we gather and commission thousands into DISCIPLESHIP structures and mission fields we believe that God will raise up boldness in a new generation and speak a radical calling over thier lives that will EXPONENTIALLY develop a new generation of CONSECRATED disciples who raise up disciples.

This vision is only possible through churches, organisations and individuals choosing to sow into this vision and give to the send.

THE SEND UK & IRELAND is a registered charity under the legal and financial responsibility of YWAM Harpenden, with CCX as a key partner. If you'd like to have a discussion about ways you'd be interested to give please contacT info@thesend.uk
