Greetings in Christ from SEND North America!
We can't believe we are ending our second pioneering year of ministry! Wow! The time has flown by; and, tonight at our SEND training center, we are having our SEND graduation party. We have had an exciting year mixed with challenge, growth, perseverance, and direction! Thank you to all who have been involved on this missionary adventure. To all of our SEND North America Network: our supporters, teachers, churches, ministries, families, and friends, we are filled with gratitude. We look forward to year three, starting in just a few short months!

Experience SEND Weekends This Summer
This summer, SEND North America is inviting you to Experience SEND in a Weekend Immersion Event. This event is designed to be a fun learning experience in which you are immersed into the SEND discipleship and mission model of ministry. For an entire weekend, we will be living out our faith in all areas. We will have amazing teaching, discipleship, ministry, and we will learn about Christianity as a movement. We will learn how the millennial generation now has a vehicle, a process in discipleship. The process is designed for young adults to find purpose and direction. They will draw closer to God more than they ever have while being trained as a modern-day missionary. In this jam packed weekend event, we will learn outreach strategies for the 21st century and what it means to be a missionary. We will go out into the world, doing hands-on mission training and learn what happens in one day in the life of SEND! For more information on our events hosted June 21-23 and August 2-4, check out http://sendnorthamerica.com.

Prayer Request
As the second year ends, we are now in to full-time recruiting mode for the next unit starting this fall. Our prayer request is that we connect with the right millennials willing to be challenged and who want to pursue this process of discipleship and missionary training.
This generation is out there, wanting to do good and serve the Lord. We are doing everything to find them. We are actively searching and praying for young adults who want to find purpose and direction in life; individuals who would maybe want to pursue ministry as a career; young adults on fire for Jesus who want to usher in revival. These students are the future of our church.
Thank you for your prayer and support. We thank the Lord for the two young adults who already joined our unit and are ready to live a life for Christ! If you would like Josh to speak to your church, youth group, small group, or ministry, please shoot him an email, at [email protected] and SEND leads our way!
