Three
Rock-Solid Reasons to partner with SEND International
1. A Focused Purpose
2. A Commitment to the Local Church
3. A Commitment to Values
1.
Focused Purpose
In light
of the urgency of the hour and the lostness of men, we are committed
to a life of obedience to Jesus Christ to proclaim the Gospel
and establish His church. Our ministries involve the following:
Starting
Churches
SEND's primary goal is to start churches where none exist and
serve the church where it does exist. This is done through evangelism,
nurturing disciples and developing leaders.
Evangelizing
the Unreached
SEND missionaries use a wide variety of outreach methods to meet
unbelievers and bring them to a saving faith in Jesus Christ.
Nurturing
Disciples
SEND missionaries strive to disciple new believers into responsible,
reproducing Christians who will form reproducing churches.
Developing
Leaders
SEND is committed to train, teach and develop leaders in every
place of ministry, under the accountability and authority of the
local church.

A Commitment To the Local Church
We believe
that close partnership with the local church is key to operating
a ministry above reproach. We work closely with churches in sending
countries to recruit and serve their missionaries. We work with
local churches in ministry areas as they establish new churches.
Under the local church, we work in cooperation with other similar
missions.
Churches
at home
In North America, SEND ministers to thousands of local churches,
helping them send their missionaries to fulfil their great commission
responsibilities around the world. Also in North America, SEND
continues it's work in Alaska, partnering with Alaska Bible College,
Crossroad Medical Center and two radio stations started years
ago. Churches are planted and strengthened through pioneer evangelism
in Alaska, the Yukon and British Columbia.
Churches
abroad
In Europe, SEND first partnered with evangelical churches in Spain
to assist their outreach to new neighborhoods and villages.
In
the 90's SEND moved dramatically into Poland, Czech Republic,
Hungary, Slovenia, Croatia, Romania, and other countries we can
not even mention on this web (see Creative Access countries).
New teams partner with believers who survived years of oppression
and now want to evangelize, plant churches and train new believers.
SEND
has more than 50 years of partnering closely with the national
church in Asia. SEND plants churches and trains leaders in Japan,
Taiwan and the Philippines, and parts of East Asia.
The
former Soviet Union, SEND was privileged to be invited by the
established national church there to work under their authority.
This has given SEND long term ability to work where new religious
organizations are challenged. Bible schools, seminaries, church
planting seminars, teacher training classes, and new churches
result. The believers zeal to plant new churches fits closely
with SEND, and SEND offers tested experience.

Values Do Count
SEND
International is a multinational organization of born-again people
whose purpose is to glorify God through establishing the Church
where
it does
not exist and serving it where it does exist. To achieve this
purpose we give ourselves to aggressive evangelism, intensive
discipling and intentional leadership development. To fulfill
our basic purpose, we are committed to the following fundamental
values:
URGENCY: In light of the urgency of the hour and
the lostness of men, we are committed to a life of obedience
to Jesus Christ to proclaim the Gospel and establish His church.
DEPENDENCE: We depend completely on GOD to supply our resources
and enable our ministry. We depend on the Holy Spirit to use
the written and spoken Word of God. The Bible is our guide for
faith and practice.
SERVANTHOOD:
We are servants of Jesus Christ, committed to give our lives
for others and show Christ’s love in word and
deed.
BELONGING: Each member of SEND is important. We seek to build
a spirit of teamwork and goal ownership so each member has a
sense of belonging.
INTEGRITY:
We strive to live morally above reproach with honesty and fairness
in all relationships. We are committed to the highest
standards of ethics in all areas.
UNITY IN DIVERSITY: We incorporate missionaries of many nationalities
in the task of discipling the nations. Our desire is to have
a multinational membership working together in harmony towards
the fulfillment of the Great Commission.
