written by Christa

Preparing for an event or conference is not easy. The Send is takes preparing for their events very seriously. Prior to the event in Grand Rapids, Michigan they  held worship gatherings throughout the city.

Grand Rapids, Michigan

The Send has traveled nationwide mobilizing and equipping believers for the Great Commission. Additionally, they purpose to share the Gospel wherever they go.

Last weekend, The Send was in Grand Rapids, West Michigan, and filled the 12,000-seat venue of Van Andel Arena. People received salvation and were transformed as they encountered Jesus. Moreover, many committed to going to the mission field, whether it’s their school, workplace, family, or other nation, to share the Good News.

But before the event, The Send prepared for the event with worship and prayer throughout the city.

The Send

A day before the event, different teams were stationed across the city. Some gathered at the beach, others evangelized on the streets, another group prayed by a bridge, and others worshipped in a public park.

They spent their afternoon worshipping, praying, and shared Jesus with the community.

“We love Jesus! Jesus has made a radical change in my life. I met Jesus and was totally different,” one of the worship leaders said. “So, if you need help in your life, go over here, and we will help you, pray for you, and share the Gospel with you. Everybody’s welcome!”

Many people came to receive prayer and hear the message of hope!

In the Heart of Jesus unoffendable heart

Chloe Mack Delivers A Powerful Message At The Send: Have An Unoffendable Heart

by Christa
written by Christa

When we are called to follow Jesus, we are also called to have an “unoffendable” heart. But what does it mean to have an “unoffendable” heart?

Having an Unoffendable Heart

Chloe Mack, one of the speakers of The Send in Michigan, challenged believers to refuse the spirit of offense to fully live out their calling in following Jesus. She said, “If you follow Jesus, you will have to follow in His way of the unoffendable heart.”

Jesus has set the example for how to live without offense. Luke 23:24 says, “Then Jesus said, ‘Father, forgive them; for they do not know what they’re doing.”

Even in the face of mockery, beating, humiliation, and insult, Jesus did not hold it against the offenders. Instead, he released forgiveness and even prayed for those who were persecuting Him.

Releasing forgiveness and refusing offense is part of following Jesus’ ways.

Chloe emphasized this point when she said, “Do you know that the medical records today have classified unforgiveness a disease? Because your body wasn’t meant to carry the yoke of bitterness, the weight of holding grudges, offense.”

According to Karen Swartz, M.D. of The John Hopkins Hospital, unforgiveness and chronic anger results in “numerous changes in heart rate, blood pressure, and immune response.” These can put the person at risk of depression, heart disease, diabetes, and others.

So, what does this tell us?

We will face challenges in our faith. If we follow Christ, we are not exempted from hard things. But that is why Jesus commands us to rejoice instead of getting offended.

When we are able to do this, it reveals that we are truly living in the freedom Christ has given us. – free from pain, shame, and offense.

Hundreds Raised Their Shoes At The Send In Commitment To Preach The Gospel

by Christa
written by Christa

In the 12,000-capacity arena in West Michigan, hundreds raised their shoes to symbolize their commitment to preach the Gospel. The act represents their commitment in saying, “Jesus, we are ready! We say yes! We will go!”

The Send

The Send, a worship and missions gathering, exists to equip and mobilize people to fulfill the Great Commission. This past weekend, they hosted a powerful event at Van Andel Arena in Grand Rapids, Michigan. The venue was packed with hungry believers.

Bethel Music, Kari and Cody Carnes, Circuit Rider Music, and Lindy Cofer were some of the worship artists who attended the event. They led the participants in powerful times of worship, encouraging them to fully live for Christ.

Speakers included Francis Chan, Will Hart, Dr. Michael Brown, Nick Brennt, and several others who challenged believers to follow Christ and share the Gospel.

They ended the event with a time of commitment.

Brian Barcelona asked the crowd to hold hands and invited anyone who wanted to to give their lives to Jesus. Then encouraged those making the commitment to come to the altar.

Hundreds went down to the front encouraging those who wanted to commit their lives to Jesus.

Hundreds Raised Their Shoes

The Send wants to bring people to Jesus and equip them to be witnesses for Jesus.

The crowd was invited to raise their shoes as representation of their “going” according to Romans 10:15 that says, “How beautiful are the feet of messengers who bring good news!”

Hundreds committed to go and preach the Gospel as they unashamedly raised their shoes in the air.

This invitation an invitation for you too! Are you ready to say yes and go for Jesus?

The Send 2022 Gathers Thousands Of Christians To Respond To Call Of Action

by Christa
written by Christa

Thousands of Christians gathered in Kansas City last May 9-13 for The Send 2022. As a result, many have responded to the call of action to live out Jesus’ commission: “Going into the world and preaching the Gospel.”

Evangelists and Missionaries

The Send is birthed from the prayers of Christian leaders who felt God’s move of “activating believers to evangelism and mobilizing missionaries all over the world.” These national leaders are committed to doing what it takes to fulfill God’s commission and to see America’s faith in God burn once again.

Therefore, on February 23, 2019, they held the first “The Send” gathering. Sixty thousand joined the powerful event, and since then, they have waged war on inaction and passivity.

The Send 2022

And this year, they held their missional revival meeting at the Arrowhead Stadium, Kansas City. The service is not limited only to those in the city because they streamed it online, expanding their audience worldwide.

Prominent Christian worship leaders took turns in leading the congregation to worship. They are Jay Thomas, Rick Pino, Kari Jobe, Melissa and Jonathan Helser, IHOPKC Worship, etc.

Moreover, anointed speakers also participated in the momentous gathering. It includes David Bryant, Sammy Rodriguez, Mike Bickle, Todd White, Lou Engle, Heidi Baker, and others.

But, the speakers nor the worship leaders are not the faces of The Send. But, the attendees who committed themselves to going for the Gospel of Jesus.

They call every attendee to take one mission field and respond to it. The mission fields listed are High Schools, Universities, Communities, Vulnerable Children, and Nations. From May 16-21, The Send will host a “Take Action Interest Night” to talk about each mission field.

Once the participant has chosen, they are then guided with a follow-up process to encourage them as they take their first steps.

Today, 1,000 believers have committed to a missional life in High School. They believe that 1,000 more will take action for the Universities tomorrow.

by Christel Berns
written by Christel Berns

A historic day happened in Brazil when thousands of Christians including President Jair Bolsonaro gathered on Saturday to declare that Brazil belongs to God.

According to the report from Fox News, the massive event’s organizer never invited President Jair but he came on his own. He was there to witness the historic day for Brazil that was said to be the “largest Christian simultaneous event in Brazil’s history.”

 

Millennials In The Philippines Spark Revival To Fight For This Generation

The Send Brazil was held at Brasilia’s stadium. On stage, the honored President boldly declared his faith in Jesus and that “Brazil belongs to God.” He was then met by thunderous applause from hundreds of thousands.

The 12-hour event had more than 140,000 attendees held at three different stadiums. Brasilia Nacional Stadium, Morumbi Stadium and Allianz Parque Stadium in Sao Paulo, reports Fox News. Furthermore, 1.7 million people watched the Portuguese livestream and 560,000 on the English one.

Unity In The Body Of Christ

In an interview, two of the organizers Andy Byrd and Teo Hayashi told Fox News that it took “unparalleled unity” to put together the massive event. Amazingly, thousands of attendees turned to Jesus, “committed to fasting, Bible reading plans and missions to the nations, colleges and high schools.” The Send Brazil is part of “The Send” which was founded last year in Orlando by seven ministries.

“The outpouring of healing, miracles, signs and wonders was mind-blowing, the display of God’s power in all three stadiums,” said Andy, leader of Youth With a Mission (YWAM).

“This whole event was about the exultation of Jesus. And the empowerment of the 24-year-old, equipping the next generation to change the world.”

Big Names Were In Attendance

Teo, co-organizer and founder of the Dunamis Movement and Pastor Sao Paulo of Zion Church highlighted social justice. They encouraged “reaching college campuses and high schools, as well as adoption of vulnerable children and teenagers – struck a chord with the nation.”

“God activated a huge evangelical youth church to the great commission. And God empowered a generation to do the works of Christ beyond the four walls of the Church,” Teo said.

Moreover, well-known anointed evangelical leaders were also present at the event. Francis Chan, Michael Koulianos, Todd White, Daniel Kolenda, Randy Clark, Christine Caine and many others were there. Also, famed worship leaders joined: Lindy Conant-Cofer, Jeremy Riddle, Steffany Gretzinger, and Dante Bowe. Several prominent Christian leaders in Brazil also added to the line up. Overall, 180 people spoke during the 12-hour event.

God’s Moving in Brazil

Evangelist Daniel Kolenda declared, “God is on the move in Brazil!”

Christine Caine encouraged the younger generation, “We cannot keep this good news to ourselves. Empowered by the spirit of God, we must make Jesus’ last commandment our first priority.”

Among the thousands of attendees was 18-year-old João Bevilacqua.

“The most memorable thing for me was when a man got up from his wheelchair. And then raised his wheelchair for everyone to see that he got healed!” he told Fox News in an interview.

Another interviewee Carol Satyro, 23, said, “I saw young people telling testimonies of life transformation. I saw teenagers intercede for my country. And I saw thousands of people committed to read the word, adopt orphans, embrace university students and live the true gospel!”

Furthermore, a remarkable commendation from Carolina Martins, 22, said, “The Brazilian Church was exhorted to go in an extraordinary way. The glory of God was palpable, we were able to experience the cures and wonders. The deaf heard again, the blind saw, the paralyzed walked again. In one voice we declared: ‘Here I am, send me.'”

60,000 Christians From Across US Gather For A New ‘Jesus Movement’

by Rhoda Gayle
written by Rhoda Gayle

Over 60,000 Christians from across the United States gather for a new “Jesus Movement” organized by several different ministries.

60,000 Christians

Organized by Youth With A Mission, Christ For All Nations and Lou Engle Ministries, a 10-hour event “The Send” gathered 60,000 Christians. It happened at the Camping World Stadium in Orlando Florida.

The event featured pastors and evangelist from different churches such as Bill Johnson, Daniel Kolenda, and Francis Chan. Several worship teams such as Hillsong Young & Free, Jesus Culture, Tasha Cobbs-Leonard, and Bethel Music also took part in the great movement.

“The send is ultimately a war on inaction. It’s to be a twofold beautiful experience,” Michael Koulianos, evangelist and founder of Jesus Image, said. “Number one, we’re gathering here to be in the presence of Jesus to truly encounter Him and then be sent from His presence, to take His actual person, to our cities, to our towns, to our neighborhoods, to our families, to our marriages.”

The Send

“The Send” is an attempt to unify each Body of Christ, an attempt to come together for one purpose.

“I think it’s amazing,” Todd White, evangelist and founder of Lifestyle Christianity, said. “It’s God’s waking up a sleeping giant, His church to come together and being in unity of faith and not say, ‘I prefer my ministry before yours’ but we actually prefer each other. What we’ve done is a collaboration of ministries coming together saying, ‘Let’s all go forward in one purpose, one mind, and let’s go purpose, Jesus everywhere we go.’”

One purpose

The purpose was clear, according to one of the attendees, to worship Jesus.

“The most significant thing about the event to me was that it was obvious. It wasn’t about the people on the stage but the people in the crowd. There was a singular purpose that was felt. It was to seek Jesus and worship Him,” Yassirie Moreno, a youth ministry leader in a local Orlando church, said.

It is refreshing to see different ministries and different churches come together to worship Jesus. May this event spark up more unity around the globe aimed at uniting believers together in the name of Jesus Christ. In a world full of division, unity is what we need!

You Can Start The New Year Praying And Fasting For Revival

by Jared Laskey
written by Jared Laskey

2020 is now here! And I know it isn’t just me, but maybe you can also sense a palpable expectation of revival for Jesus in the air. There are pockets of incredible moves of God around the world. Sometimes I’ll see it or be part of it and be in agreement with it. Expecting greater things! But then, at other times, in my flesh I’ll almost set it aside thinking this happens at the beginning of every decade. Time to start praying.

But as I seek the Lord, I get more excited. There is something to 2020 and this decade of harvest. There is a great need for the fivefold team ministry to emerge. Leading the charge to influence and impact the culture for the glory of God. Seeing innumerable amounts of people come into relationship with Jesus. And there are movements you can be part of now to start the new year off seeking the face of God.

How You Can Be Part of Praying and Fasting Movements

Start by being part of prayer and fasting initiatives. The Roaring Twenties Fast is led by Marc Brown, calling for more than 1 million people to fast this year! Inspired by the late founder of Campus Crusade for Christ(now Cru), Bill Bright said, “Prayer has great power, but fasting with prayer has infinitely more power.”

The Roaring Twenties fasting webpage says, “The call for one million young people to fast and pray is historic but must not be about any one church, leader, organization or denomination but rather a collective of believers young and old who sense that God is about to do something historic in the roaring twenties.”

Awaken2020 is a prayer and fasting movement leading up to a large stadium event at Sun Devil Stadium in Tempe, AZ on January 18th. The collaborators, who are David Herzog Ministries, Lou Engle formerly of The Call, Daniel Kolenda of Christ for All Nations and successor to the late Reinhard Bonnke, Brian Head Welch, Cindy Jacobs of Generals International, and Jerame Nelson of Elisha Revolution. They are believing for, “a new era, a new decade, of revival that is bringing a movement of signs and wonders. Healing of the sick, and preaching of the gospel.”

Watch the Awaken2020 video here:

https://youtu.be/Cn4Rb9RaP_I

And starting March 1st through April 9th the Jesus Fast begins. They are contending for a love revival with Jesus, holiness, power evangelism. And for a global outpouring of the Holy Spirit, a global 24/7 unceasing prayer movement, reconciliation between generations, Christian unity and more.

Watch a video about the Jesus Fast here:

Praying: Expect God to do Greater Things

You can be part of changing the world this year by becoming part of a prayer and fasting movement. Always be wise in fasting seeking a doctor’s counsel first. And be in fellowship with others who can cheer you on and hold you accountable to the Word of God.

Let’s pray expectantly for revival and awakening!

Lou Engle Shares His Heart For AWAKEN 2020

by Christian Learning
written by Christian Learning

Dear Friend,

In all my years of ministry I have never been more excited for a year like 2020. I am calling all of Arizona, and all of America to gather for AWAKEN 2020 at the ASU Sun Devil Stadium on January 18!

Awaken2020 has a very personal and significant meaning to me because in 1997 I prophesied right outside of the Sun Devil Stadium “It would be filled!” That prophecy was the beginnings of the movement we now know as ‘The Call’.

I feel like we are in a breakthrough moment and God is calling Arizona, THE A STATE to open the womb for the 3rd Great Awakening in America!

You CAN NOT MISS THIS, it will be one of the most pivotal and historical events for America in 2020 and for the new decade!

To register for this FREE event, register online at AWAKEN 2020.

Lou Engle & The AWAKEN 2020 Team

AWAKEN 2020

Some of the most influential generals of our time will be gathering. Partnering with the AWAKEN 2020 team we have Lou Engle, Daniel Kolenda, David Herzog, Stephanie Herzog, Guillermo Maldonado, Cindy Jacobs and Jerame Nelson as well as Brian”Head” Welch, Jake Hamilton, Jeremy Riddle, Eddie James, Steve Swanson and several others.

NEVER in the history of the world has such a stage been set. Humanity NEEDS a fresh move of God NOW! The world is in need of a living and powerful SAVIOR.

We are in such a pivotal time in the history of the world. The body of CHRIST needs to rise up to the occasion. THIS is our time to bear the light of Jesus. It’s time for miracles, signs and wonders and the gospel of the Kingdom without shame or fear. You don’t want to miss this event!

The Send Was A Historic Event Declaring War On Inaction

by Jared Laskey
written by Jared Laskey

“A new era of evangelism and missions has begun,” say the directors and collaborators of The Send. It was a historic day as 58,878 believers gathered at Camping World Stadium in Orlando, Florida, Saturday, February 23rd. Thousands more watched the livestream online, being moved to be part of, “the war on inaction.”

Could this be the beginning of a new Jesus Movement? Many seem to think so, such as Andy Byrd of YWAM, Todd White of Lifestyle Christianity, Daniel Kolenda of Christ For All Nations, Lou Engle formerly of TheCall, and many others.

The latest stats released by The Send say 18,196 people committed to the Jesus Fast from March 1 – April 9. 531 people registered a first-time response to the gospel or rededicated their lives to Jesus. 2467 committed to reaching their high schools, with 2197 committing to reach their colleges/universities. And 5064 said they will reach their neighborhoods with the gospel with 5423 committing to reach other nations as missionaries!

Watch this recap released by The Send:

My Takeaway

I was truly excited to be going to The Send as I had previously written. Taking my 13 year-old son, Zechariah, the anointing of the Holy Spirit was present throughout the 12 hour event. I watched my son hear from God, praying over numerous people. He spoke life and destiny into people needing to hear a word from the Lord.

After walking through the gates, before The Send began, I saw a copy of, “Not By Might Nor By Power,” about Lonnie Frisbee at a resource area. I was ecstatic asking when the third book in the series about the Jesus Movement would be released. Those present at the table said, “Ask him, he’s the author,” pointing to Roger Sachs. Meeting Roger, I told him that the books he has written, in Lonnie Frisbee’s own words, are a gift to the Body of Christ. I asked Roger to lay hands on us, and we prayed and prophesied over one another.

I was also encouraged hearing a close friend of mine say his daughter received her prayer language while praying for many people in the evening. Her empowerment by the Holy Spirit was one of many taking place there, equipping them to go into all the world and preach the gospel.

The Send was a multi-generational gathering, praying and seeking God’s face for awakening. Many people were catalyzed to go into all the world under the anointing of the Holy Spirit. What God is doing through The Send and the upcoming awakening may be called something else other than,”the Jesus Movement,” as that was a revival of the past. But I believe a new thing is here!

God Sends Everyone

All of us are witnesses of Jesus’ life, death and resurrection. Everywhere we go, whether it is in our homes, neighborhoods, schools or workplaces, we are to live and preach the Gospel message. God’s wonderful Holy Spirit empowers us to lay hands on the sick and see them healed, to cast out demons and prophesy to the lost. Seeing many people enter in to relationship with Jesus.

We’re all missionaries right where we are as citizens of Heaven sent by Jesus to the world. But some of us are being called as missionaries to other nations. Yet all of us need to be equipped.

You can be part of what God is doing. Look at the resources being provided at The Send’s website. Be part of the war on inaction. Be activated in Jesus’ Name and go!

The Send Mobilizes Thousands Of Believers Into Christ-Like Action

by Jared Laskey
written by Jared Laskey

The Send was an incredible stadium event on Saturday, February 23rd. Held at Camping World Stadium in Orlando, Florida, tens of thousands of Christians gathered together seeking God’s face.

In obedience to the Great Commission, and praying for a new era of missions and evangelism, the power of God fell on those gathered together. Close to 90,000 registered for the event. And thousands more were watching the live-stream as people shared the link through social media.

Worship, prayer and praise to God was backed up by powerful teaching.  It was a great and diverse line-up, with many generals of the faith and up and coming leaders from across the Body of Christ. All were there focused on Jesus!

With the goal to, “catalyze every believer into Christ-like action,” there were four ‘mission fields’ where the collaborators of The Send are believing to inspire the Church nationwide to go! The mission fields were colleges, high schools, neighborhoods and nations.

Mission Statistics from The Send

Holly from The Send Team told me that 522 people gave their lives to Christ as Evangelists Daniel Kalenda and Todd White preached the Gospel with power and conviction. And 17576 people committed to participating in the Jesus Fast. Starting on March 1 to April 9, this is led by Lou Engle. It will be 40 days of intensive prayer and fasting for revival.

2137 people committed to reaching their colleges for Christ and 2384 will reach their high schools. 4893 people declared that they will reach their friends and neighborhoods, with 5038 saying they will go to the nations as missionaries! And the stats keep coming in.

The Spirit of Adoption

Not only were these mission fields being emphasized, but many were also being challenged in adopting and fostering children. During this challenge a close friend of mine and I were praying over a precious couple being moved to tears. We were calling on Heaven to be paving the way for their potential adoption of a child.

In the state of Florida, there are over 19,000 kids in foster care with 600 needing permanent residence. Just one large church in Florida can fulfill this need. Church members can pick up the cause, opening their homes and lives to these kids needing a home. Where they can receive healing, nurturing and love. Growing in relationship with God and others.

After The Send

The Send launched an online platform called The Suitcase. It is a, “collection of training content and resources to equip a generation to live a missional lifestyle.” Many of those who spoke at the event this last Saturday are on these video courses, activating you to live a Christ-like action lifestyle.

And right where you are, you can participate in any of these mission fields, the Jesus Fast and the Suitcase. If you want to be part of any of the four mission fields, you can use your cell phone, texting ‘fast,’ or ‘college,’ ‘friends’ or ‘nations’ to 97123. The Send will keep in touch with you through texting, email and social media. They’re using all means necessary to catalyze you and other believers into your calling.

And there is more to come from The Send!
