10 Ways to SEND the Message This Holiday Season
Over three billion people still haven't heard about Jesus. You can help change that now. Choose one of the 10 projects below to SEND the message of Christ’s love to the unreached.
1. Global | Break New Ground for the Gospel
Imagine living your whole life without ever meeting a follower of Jesus. For more than 3 billion people today, this is reality. Entire communities remain unreached – no Bible, no church, no knowledge of Christ.
SEND is pioneering new pathways into these places by listening, building relationships, and laying foundations for ministry where gospel access is scarce.
Together, we’re pursuing a bold vision: engaging 203 unreached communities by 2033, the 2,000-year anniversary of Christ’s resurrection. Each gift paves the way for first encounters with Jesus’ life-changing message.
The impact of your gift:
- $50 supports exploring new communities for future ministry
- $203 lays the foundation for early outreach and partnerships
2. Global | Missionary LAUNCH Scholarship
For many called to missions, the greatest challenge isn’t where to go – it’s when they can finally go. Each month of delay means another community still waiting to hear the gospel.
The Missionary LAUNCH Scholarship helps bridge that gap by providing timely support during final training and preparation, propelling new workers to the field faster – equipped, ready, and focused on bringing the good news to those who have never heard.
Your partnership turns calling into commissioning. Every gift sends another worker across the finish line and into a community where Jesus is not yet known.
The impact of your gift:
- $42/month equips a missionary to move from preparation to ministry among the unreached
- $500 helps propel a new worker across borders with visas and one-time deployment costs
3. Alaska | Fly a Kid to Camp
Life off Alaska’s road system is tough, especially for kids. Many rarely leave their villages, and opportunities to hear about Jesus are rare.
Bible camp changes that. Kids discover new friendships, a bigger world, and the good news of Jesus – often for the very first time. One boy recently returned home from camp singing worship songs through his headset. What began as a week away has grown into a desire to return as a counselor. For many children, camp is the spark that can begin a lifelong journey with Christ.
The challenge is getting there. Many villages are over 100 miles apart with no roads, so campers must fly by small plane. Together, we can help 60 children make the journey.
The impact of your gift:
- $280 provides a round-trip flight for one camper to attend a life-changing week at camp
4. Central Asia | Start a Learning Center
In one Central Asian community, only about 0.6% know Christ. Most families have never met a Christian, and opportunities to hear the gospel are almost nonexistent. A learning center can provide both education and a pathway to Christ.
This new learning center will give SEND missionaries a steady presence and a place to build relationships in this unreached community. Through language lessons and practical education, it will meet real needs while sowing seeds for the gospel. Over time, it will equip women, young professionals, and underserved families with skills and hope for the future. The vision is for local believers to one day lead the center, multiplying its impact and establishing a lasting gospel presence.
The impact of your gift:
- $56 affords learning materials for a student
- $550
helps furnish the classroom and welcome students (total need: $11,000)
Each project is a bridge for the gospel. Your gift sends the message of Christ’s love farther.
5. Croatia | Share Jesus Through Alpha
In Croatia, many are quietly asking life’s biggest questions: Is there more to life? Who is Jesus? Why did he die? For most, no one has ever walked with them through these questions in light of the gospel.
Through Alpha courses, SEND missionaries and the local church provide a welcoming space where spiritually open seekers share a meal, explore faith, and hear about Jesus clearly — often for the first time. As relationships grow, meaningful conversations about faith begin to take root and open hearts to the truth of the gospel. Recently, seven Croatians were baptized, each sharing how Alpha was a vital step in their journey to faith!
The impact of your gift:
- $56 covers meals for one Alpha group for an evening
- $112 provides a scholarship for one person to attend an Alpha weekend retreat
6. Southeast Asia | Equip Frontline Clinics
When care is out of reach, families in vulnerable communities endure illness that drains resources and too often leads to preventable loss of life. In Southeast Asia, SEND’s Team Hope – physicians, nurses, and health specialists – provides compassionate medical care while pointing people to Christ.
What began as one annual medical clinic is now expanding. By hosting more mini clinics in vulnerable neighborhoods, Team Hope will provide medicines, health education, nutrition support, reading glasses, counseling, and prayer. Each clinic meets urgent needs and reveals God’s love in tangible ways.
The impact of your gift:
- $112 helps provide medicines and supplies to care for patients
- $3,360 sponsors a mini-clinic to serve vulnerable families (Goal: 4 total)
7. Global | Care for Missionaries & Their Families
Cross-cultural ministry is rewarding, but it often takes a heavy toll. Transition, spiritual battles, and ministry demands can leave missionaries and their families weary. Without proper care, many cannot continue long-term. Missionary care ensures those who pour out their lives for others also receive the support and renewal they need.
SEND provides coaching, debriefing, and support that renew workers for the road ahead. One couple shared, “When we lost visa access to our country of service, the SEND team walked with us every step. Their steady presence sustained us as we grieved and began rebuilding our lives.” Your gift helps missionaries endure with joy so the gospel spreads through their faithful witness.
The impact of your gift:
- $110 helps fund debriefing care for weary workers
- $120/month sustains care systems for missionaries and their families
8. Alaska/Canada | Reach Isolated Villages
Across Alaska and Northern Canada, many villages have little or no gospel presence. With no church or pastor, people live in spiritual isolation, often without ever meeting a follower of Jesus.
SEND North launched Project Caribou to change this reality. Just as caribou thrive by traveling together, missionaries are forming strong teams in strategic hub communities. These hubs provide encouragement and stability for workers serving in some of the most challenging conditions.
From each hub, missionaries reach surrounding villages – building relationships, discipling youth, opening homes for Bible studies, and seeing lives transformed by the gospel.
The impact of your gift:
- $56 supplies resources to strengthen outreach in hub villages
- $280 provides lodging and essential support for missionaries
9. Spain | Raise Up Youth Worship Leaders
In Spain, many teenagers feel disconnected from the church, with no role to play and no place to belong. Together with the local church, SEND missionaries are using music to help them find their place.
Through a youth music school, teens receive instruments, training, and mentorship to develop their God-given gifts and join in the life of the church. As their skills and confidence grow, they form worship teams that strengthen their faith and bless their congregations.
Josué, a SEND worker, knows this impact firsthand: at 12, learning piano gave him a way to worship and serve, shaping his walk with God. Now he longs to see the same opportunity offered to today’s youth.
The impact of your gift:
- $336 equips one student with an instrument, accessories, and lessons
- $4,032 provides course materials and 12 instruments needed for the music school
10. Ukraine | SEND Help & Hope Amid War
Since Russia’s invasion on February 24, 2022, millions in Ukraine have faced displacement, loss, and daily uncertainty. In some regions, air raid sirens still sound every day. Though the headlines have quieted, the suffering remains for Ukrainians.
With decades of ministry and deep relationships in Ukraine, SEND and our local church partners have been able to respond quickly and effectively. In the past three years, more than 800 relief efforts have reached 435,000+ people with food, fuel, shelter, and the hope of Christ. Yet the needs remain great.
Today, churches still need help to provide food for families, fuel for generators, and spiritual rest for those serving tirelessly on the front lines.
The impact of your gift:
- $80 can feed one family for a week
- $675 heats one church for a month
(costs vary by size/season)

1. Who is SEND International?
SEND is an international Christian missions organization. We partner with local churches to send missionaries who reach the unreached and establish reproducing churches. SEND serves in more than 27 countries (across Asia, Europe, Eurasia, and North America) with the goal of seeing lives and communities transformed by the gospel.
SEND’s story began in the aftermath of World War II, when a small group of believers stepped out in faith to bring the hope of Christ to war-torn Japan. Eight decades later, that same vision continues — reaching the unreached and planting churches in some of the hardest places on earth.

We partner with churches to send well so God’s people can serve well and pursue lasting impact among the unreached.
