What types of missionary opportunities does SEND International offer?

SEND International offers a variety of service opportunities to match your calling and availability. These include long-term service roles (3+ years) for those investing their careers in ministry, mid-term trips (1-2 years) for those with professional skills, and short-term trips (2 weeks to 1 year) for those wanting to explore a call to missions.

What short-term and mid-term mission trips does SEND offer?

We offer short-term trips (2 weeks to 1 year) where you can serve alongside our long-term teams in a variety of support roles. We also have mid-term opportunities (1-2 years) that allow you to take on a more significant role that utilizes your professional skills or ministry experience. These are powerful ways to experience cross-cultural ministry firsthand.

Why should I serve with SEND International?

When you serve with SEND, you are joining a family committed to seeing you thrive. We provide a strategic focus on unreached people groups, comprehensive support including a worldwide crisis response team, and family-centered member care to ensure our missionaries are fully equipped and protected so they can focus on their ministry.

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.

Why Serve with SEND International?

God is at work around the world, and He invites us to join Him. If you are exploring a call to use your life and skills to make an eternal impact among the nations, you are in the right place.

SEND International exists to mobilize God's people to engage the unreached. This page is the starting point for exploring the many missionary opportunities available through our ministry. Whether you are a church planter, a medical professional, a teacher, or a student, there is a place for you to serve.

Choosing a mission agency is a significant decision. We believe that for missionary work to be effective long-term, it requires a deep commitment to the well-being and preparation of the missionary. When you serve with SEND, you are not just joining a mission; you are joining a family that is committed to seeing you thrive.

A Strategic Focus on the Unreached

Our primary calling is to the 2.8 billion people who have no access to the Gospel. We strategically focus our efforts on planting reproducing churches in the world's most difficult and spiritually dark places, ensuring your ministry is focused on the front lines of the Great Commission.

Comprehensive Support & Crisis Response

We ensure our missionaries thrive, not just survive. From a rigorous 12-18 month preparation process to comprehensive insurance and retirement planning, we have you covered. Our unique worldwide security team monitors global issues and provides immediate crisis response and emergency extraction, allowing you to serve with confidence.

Family-Centered Member Care

We know that healthy families are essential for effective ministry. We provide robust educational and emotional support for missionary children (Third Culture Kids) and comprehensive care that sustains the entire family through the transitions and challenges of cross-cultural life.
