How can I give securely online?

The simplest and most direct way to support the mission is through our secure online donation portal. You can make a one-time gift or set up a recurring monthly partnership to provide ongoing, stable support for our missionaries and projects.

What are the benefits of giving stock and securities?

Donating long-term appreciated stocks or mutual funds is one of the most tax-efficient ways to give. By transferring securities directly to Send International, you can generally avoid the capital gains tax you would have to pay if you sold them first, allowing you to make a larger impact at a lower original cost to you.

How can I give from a Donor-Advised Fund (DAF)?

If you have a Donor-Advised Fund (DAF) with a provider like the National Christian Foundation (NCF), Fidelity Charitable, or Schwab Charitable, you can easily recommend a grant to support our work. To make a grant, simply log in to your DAF provider's portal and search for Send International by our legal name and Tax ID (EIN).

How does giving from an IRA work?

For partners aged 70.5 or older, making a Qualified Charitable Distribution (QCD) from a traditional IRA is a powerful, tax-wise giving method. A QCD can satisfy your Required Minimum Distribution (RMD) for the year and is excluded from your taxable income.

Her First Bible

May 2023

By EK , a member of SEND’s Southeast Asia | Asia team

I met Malai at the basketball courts and invited her to come to church at our English center to learn more about the Christian faith. She didn’t know anything about Christianity other than saying, “I think Christmas has something to do with Jesus…?” so she was intrigued to know more.

At church, per routine, the Bibles were handed out at the beginning so that students could follow along with the story. Periodically, questions were asked to the group, to which Malai, too nervous to speak to the group, would quietly whisper to me the answer...

When the lesson ended I explained, “The book you’re holding is the Bible, which is what holds all of our beliefs as Christians. It’s kind of like a letter from God.” Her eyes grew wide as she exclaimed, “This is a Bible?!”

It was a sweet and humorous moment, but it was also a reminder of how few resources they have to know and hear about the hope of Jesus. A reminder of why I’m here. A reminder of why our work matters.
