SEND offered our 'non-negotiables’—and more

Relationships were the key

We knew the importance of serving alongside a team

One thing that was very important for us was to go with a team. We see a biblical principle in how God sent people out not as individuals, but as teams, and we had experienced the strength of working together with others. In addition to this, an organization can help by providing systems and support so that you don't have to decide and figure out everything by yourself.

We chose SEND because of the focus on church planting and discipleship and the locations where the organization was working. Beyond that, I have come to respect the willingness to grow and change within the organization, and the continually developing efforts to hear the voices of peoples from around the world on how to best move forward. In my experience, SEND has also done a good job of respecting and being humble with the local churches in the places we work. It shows a desire to live out servant leadership.

We could tap into the organization’s years of experience and wisdom

An organization gives you the gift of time to learn language and culture

Every person's different, so as you explore mission organizations, feel free to ask questions to make sure they can meet your individual needs. If you're not even sure where to start, this blog post can give you some ideas of questions that might be relevant to your journey.

The path to missions can feel overwhelming! Our experienced mission coaches will walk alongside you every step of the way.
