About SEND - History

SEND International began as Far Eastern Gospel Crusade (FEGC) shortly after World War II by a group of men and women who returned from military service burdened for the spiritual needs of Asia.

The early years of FEGC were marked by rapid growth and expansion into new areas. In 1971, Central Alaskan Mission, with its multi-faceted ministries in Alaska, merged with FEGC. In 1981, FEGC became SEND International to better represent the geographic scope of the mission. In 1985, Spain opened up as the next country. At the end of the cold war in the early 1990s, SEND expanded into Central and Eastern Europe. Today, there are approximately 500 SEND missionaries serving in more than twenty countries of Europe, Asia, and North America.
