THE SEND Ireland
Join THE SEND at SSE Arena, Belfast, on Saturday 17 May for an afternoon and evening of worship, teaching and commissioning. Come on your own or bring your whole church, everyone is welcome, but especially young people. More details coming soon.
Every time THE SEND gathers, they invite people to adopt real mission fields at home and abroad. They work with national and local mission organisations to equip and send people to be witnesses for Jesus wherever he calls them.
About
THE SEND was born out of the prayer movement, The Call. After a catalytic gathering called Azusa Now, a collaboration of leaders came together to found THE SEND. Those leaders were Andy Byrd (Youth With A Mission), Brian Brennt (Circuit Riders), Daniel Kolenda (Christ For All Nations), Michael Koulianos (Jesus Image), Teo Hayashi (Dunamis Movement), Todd White (Lifestyle Christianity) and Lou Engle (The Call). The vision was for a gathering where success was not the number gathered but the number activated to reach one of five key mission fields: Nations, Secondary Schools, Universities, Serving Vulnerable Children, Neighbourhoods and Workplaces.
From the first gathering at Camping World Stadium in Orlando, Florida it was clear this was not an event but a movement. A generation was ready to move from inspiration to action. Over the last years THE SEND has filled stadiums and arenas in the US, Brazil and Norway and tens of thousands of people have committed to take missional action is the result.
In 2024 THE SEND went fully international with events in England and events planned for 2025 in New Zealand, Scotland, South Africa, Finland, the Philippines, Armenia as well as here in Ireland.
