We at SEND North have been blessed to see God’s hand providing and guiding since 1936. Throughout the years, God has moved us through many phases of growth using the leadership of several gifted men as our Area Directors. We covet your prayers as we enter another season of change.

Our current Area Director, Dr. Barry Rempel, has accepted God’s call to be Director of Program Development for Radius International’s missionary training program in Tijuana, Mexico. The following is how Barry describes his heart:

While we are sad to see Barry and Ruth leave SEND North, we are confident in the Lord’s leading. Barry and Ruth have faithfully served SEND North since August 2001, first as Church Ministries Director, and then as Area Director. The Council and all of SEND North express deep appreciation for their 14 years of leadership.
