THE STORY

It was born out of the prayer movement of The Call. After a catalytic gathering called Azusa Now, a collaboration of leaders came together to found THE SEND.

The vision was for a gathering where success was not the number gathered, but the number activated to reach one of five key mission fields:

• (1) Nations
• (2) Universities
• (3) High Schools
• (4) Children
• (5) Local Communities.

From the first gathering at Camping World Stadium in Orlando, Florida it was clear this was not an event but a movement. A generation was ready to move from inaction to a missional lifestyle. Over the last years THE SEND has filled stadiums and arenas in Kansas City, Brazil and Norway and tens of thousands of people have committed to take missional action is the result.

In February 2019 The Send launched with the heart of seeing every congregation activated. After the very first gathering it was clear that this was not just a moment, but a movement — a generation ready to move from inaction into a missional lifestyle.

Since January 2023 we’ve explored the potential of The Send happening in Australia. Many hours have been spent listening, asking questions, and seeking input from a vast array of Christian leaders spanning church movements, denominations, mission leaders, and national voices, both across Australia and globally.

Yet not only have we sought input, we have also sensed a strong and unmistakable sense from God — a deep conviction that this is His initiative, His timing, and His invitation to this generation. From the early beginnings of the journey we have continually asked how we might contextualise The Send for Australia.

The response has been clear. There is a nationwide resonation with the heart behind The Send and a remarkable alignment with what God is already doing in our nation. After much prayer, testing, discussion, and careful planning, it has become evident: Now is the time for The Send Australia!
