WELCOME MOVING TO MAKE DISCIPLES OUR MISSION: OUR VISION: CONTENTS MOVE. We are witnessing the unprecedented movement of refugees and immigrants across countries and continents. We are seeing powerful political and cultural systems crack and shift like tectonic plates.  In the midst of apparent chaos and change in many corners of our world, we need the constant reminder that the Creator and Sustainer of our universe is on the MOVE.  This year, SEND International is moving to bring the presence and message of the gospel to more least-reached peoples. We are taking steps to move toward healthier teams that reflect the unity of the Body. We are moving into deeper collaborative relationships with national partners and like-minded agencies to see greater collective impact and better stewardship of Kingdom resources.    We do not bring the gospel to places where God is absent, for there are no such places. God is there, he is here, he is ahead of every plan or strategy we make. God is on the MOVE, and he is inviting us to join with what he is doing all around us.  As Paul noted to the men of Athens (Acts 17:28), “In him we live and move and have our being.”  We can only MOVE because God has created us anew in Christ Jesus, to do the good works he has prepared for us to do from long ago.  We must MOVE to make disciples of all nations, to the ends of the earth, because that is the mandate of Jesus to his followers. We MOVE together with you, in partnership.  Your prayers, your financial support, and your presence with us enable us to MOVE as the Spirit directs. Please join me in praying this year that we would see God MOVE in powerful ways among us, through us, and in the lives of many who do not yet know him.
