THE SEND was born out of The Call, a mass prayer movement in the US, which gathered people in stadiums to pray for the nations. For over 20 years The Call planted a seed of hope until God spoke radically to its leaders that The Call was to become THE SEND, to move from praying for missions, to commissioning a missionary movement. Around this a team of highly experienced international leaders have come together to lead THE SEND: Andy Byrd (Youth With A Mission), Daniel Kolenda (Christ For All Nations), Francis Chan (Crazy Love), Teo Hayashi (Dunamis Movement), and Andreas Nordli (YWAM Norway).

After 5 mass events in the US, 3 in Brazil and 1 in Norway THE SEND is continuing to spread to new nations who can taste and see what God is doing and are hungry. In October 2023 teams from 5 nations and The UK & Ireland were trained and commissioned to carry THE SEND into their nations.

THE SEND seeks to minimise the gap between inspiration and activation.

It aims to both inspire and call people to engage with God’s mission whilst equally providing clear and accessible opportunities to do so by partnering with local churches and organisations. 

This happens in two interrelated ways:

There are several partnership roles we are seeking for THE SEND UK & Ireland. These vary in depth and commitment but each position requires people who are committed to our vision to see Jesus move radically in our young people.

Key factors we will be looking at:

THE SEND UK & IRELAND is under the legal and financial responsibility of YWAM Harpenden, with CCX as a key partner. It is dependent on the generosity of individuals, churches, and organisations for funding.
