Purpose
SEND International ("SEND") strives to evangelize unreached people in all areas of the world through evangelism, church planting and development, Christian education and training of nationals, as well as other ministries such as medical, publications, and radio. In light of the urgency of the hour and the looseness of men, we are committed to a life of obedience to Jesus Christ to proclaim the Gospel and establish His church. SEND is organized as an interdenominational faith mission. SEND has over 450 missionaries in more than 20 countries of Asia, Europe and North America.
Mission statement
Our mission is to mobilize God's people and engage the unreached in order to establish reproducing churches.
Statement of faith
We Believe:
1 - In the plenary and verbal inspiration and inerrancy of the Bible as originally given; that it is the only infallible Word of God, and the supreme and final authority in all matters of faith and conduct;
2 - That there is only one true God, eternally existing in three Persons: Father, Son and Holy Spirit;
3 - In Jesus Christ, God the Son, the world's only Savior; in His preincarnation, virgin birth, sinless life, vicarious death, burial, bodily resurrection, and in His personal, visible return to earth;
4 - In God the Holy Spirit, who convicts the world of sin, regenerates, indwells, and empowers the believer;
5 - That all people are sinful and lost and can be saved only by grace through faith in the shed blood of Christ;
6 - In the resurrection of the dead, the believer to life everlasting, and the unbeliever to eternal condemnation;
7 - That the church is the body of Jesus Christ, for which He will return, consisting of all who have accepted the redemption provided by Him;
8 - That the presence of Jesus Christ by the Holy Spirit in the believer will result in the life of holiness and a walk of obedience to the will of God.

History
SEND International, an evangelical mission agency, was started as Far Eastern Gospel Crusade (FEGC) shortly after World War II by a group of young men and women. Many of these had, as enlisted soldiers, been involved in gospel meetings from Australia to Manila to Tokyo. After the war, they returned to Asia, burdened for the spiritual needs of the Filipinos and Japanese.
The early years of FEGC were marked by rapid growth and expansion into new areas in the Philippines and Japan. In the 1960's, FEGC missionaries moved into Taiwan and in 1971, Central Alaskan Mission, with its multi-faceted ministries in Alaska, merged with FEGC. In 1981, FEGC became SEND International to better represent the geographic scope of the mission. In 1986, SEND missionaries began work in Spain, followed by new ministry in Hong Kong in 1988. Starting in the 1990s, SEND expanded into Central and Eastern Europe, Russia, Ukraine, East Asia, and Central Asia.
From the very beginning, SEND International members were international and interdenominational. Coming from many evangelical church backgrounds, they agreed on fundamental doctrines and sought to proclaim the gospel together, discipling new believers and establishing churches that would best meet the needs of each new culture.
