Our Story
We felt a prompting to support indigenous ministers in remote and unreached communities, recognizing the strategic importance of this work in fulfilling the Great Commission. We discovered that local missionaries are often more effective at reaching their own communities, particularly in areas where foreign missionaries may face cultural barriers and challenging living conditions. Additionally, sponsoring indigenous ministers is generally more cost-effective than supporting foreign missionaries who must travel and adapt to new environments. Driven by our passion to empower native missionaries, Send A Preacher was founded in 2017.
We believe Send A Preacher offers a unique platform for Christians who are passionate about fulfilling the Great Commission but cannot physically go to the mission field. Through Send A Preacher, we can still make a difference in unreached territories by empowering others to become our “hands and feet” on the Lord’s mission field.
Our Focus
Many ministers in rural areas lack effective training, essential resources, and adequate financial support. Send A Preacher prioritizes supporting local (native) ministers because they are often more effective at reaching their communities. Well-equipped native missionaries have the greatest potential for impact; they understand their culture and language better, know their terrain, and can effectively share the Gospel with their own people.
The Opportunity
Having witnessed these challenges firsthand in rural evangelism, we recognize a significant opportunity to enhance the efforts of local ministers in reaching the unreached. Send A Preacher serves as a platform to mobilize support for missionary work, particularly in rural and difficult to reach regions. Donations from individuals and organizational partners go directly to empowering local ministers of the Gospel, enabling them to reach more people, faster!
Joint Reward
We believe the missionary (the sent) and the sponsor (the sender) both have a reward in heaven. Send a Preacher exists to connect the two “… so that we can be their partners as they teach the truth” – 3 John 5-8 (NLT).
You’re Invited
And we would like to personally invite you, as the Lord impresses on your heart, to consider joining in this imperative mission to empower native missionaries for the Great Commission!
Join us, become a Sender today!
Yours in His Service,
