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.

God gives the growth

August 2020

The instructions on the back of a seed packet make sowing and reaping sound so easy. Plant the seeds in the proper place. Water them. Wait “x” number of days. Enjoy your fruit.

As anyone who has actually tried to garden knows, it’s not so simple. The seed packet forgets to mention the fickle weather. It says nothing about the work it takes to develop nourishing soil and to protect baby plants from weeds and worms or almost-ripe fruit from squirrels and birds.

Graphic showing the stages of a new church

Producing fruit takes work. Perhaps it’s a labor of love, but it’s labor nonetheless.

Missionaries know this. Though a church plant generally goes through the stages shown above, no one chart can capture every bud on the path toward belief, every unusual surge in growth, every pest that threatens to steal God’s fruit, every cluster of changed lives.

Thankfully, we rely on the God who cultivates human souls, planting love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control.

SEND International’s annual report— From Seeds to Harvest —highlights God’s work around the world, from new believers passing on their faith in Poland to Biblical values education spreading in Africa, to incredible transformation in an unreached community in Thailand. This online-only annual report includes articles and videos, all designed to encourage us to praise God, for he is the one who gives the growth.
