Globally, and also in the Netherlands, we are seeing something happening that we haven't organised, but do recognise. This isn't a fad. This is a call. <\/h1>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Throughout history, there are moments when God's power becomes visible in a special way. When a generation rises up in faith and takes action, it can change the course of history. We believe God wants to use this generation for a new missionary movement, born out of a deep relationship with Him.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

THE SEND is a movement born out of prayer and emerging from \u2018The Call\u2019. Leaders like Andy Byrd (YWAM), Brian Brennt (Circuit Riders), Daniel Kolenda (Christ For All Nations), Michael Koulianos (Jesus Image), Teo Hayashi (Dunamis Movement) and Lou Engle (The Call) worked together and thus THE SEND was born.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

From the first event in Orlando, it was clear: this is not an event, but a movement. A generation was ready to take action. Since then, THE SEND has filled stadiums in the US, Brazil and Norway, where tens of thousands gave their lives to Jesus and dedicated themselves to spreading the gospel.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

The decision to bring THE SEND to the Netherlands came from prayer and speaking from God. The dream arose to stand up in the same spirit as Billy Graham, whose ministry began with a simple prayer of surrender.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

THE SEND is a youth movement. THE SEND Netherlands organisation connects with churches and organisations to turn calling into action. The organisation is structured so that young people are followed up directly after events: via five mission areas, with outcome partners who provide practical next steps, training, and guidance.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

From a vision team, outcome partners, a broad advisory council, and in connection with local churches, this movement is supported, facilitated and healthily built. The SEND Nederland is facilitated by Jeugd Met een Opdracht Nederland. Read more about the organisation here.\u00a0<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
