The Global Fund

Send the Unsent

Behind every healthy missionary is a church that knows how to send. The Global Fund helps churches become that kind of church.

The church sends. We help. Your gift equips local churches—through training, coaching, and resources—to discover their sent identity, develop missionaries, and send them well.

Thank You from the Sent

We believe our God is a sending God.

That means every believer is sent—into a neighborhood, a workplace, a family, a nation. Some cross oceans. We exist to walk with churches through every step of the sending journey.

The church sends. We help.

We're inviting you into the “we.”

When you give to the Global Fund, you help the local church step into its God-given role as sender and caretaker of its missionaries. And we start where every good sending relationship starts: alongside them, from the beginning—through conversations, training, leadership development, resourcing, and strategy.

You Send the Unsent

Your gift doesn't go to a program. It goes to people—churches, leaders, and missionaries—learning to send and be sent well.

You send the unsent…

when you help a church discover its sent identity.
when a struggling lay leader gets someone to talk through the complexity of influencing from a part-time role.
when church leaders on every continent mobilize their congregations to live sent—locally and beyond.
when you give sent-ones a place to gather, process, sharpen one another, and return to their fields refreshed.
when you invest in a mission that's genuinely upstream in a river of busy missions activities.

Your Gift Opens Up

Equipping, without a gate.

Every resource we create—training, coaching, tools—is for all churches, regardless of context, size, or budget. Your gift keeps those gates open for under-resourced churches who couldn’t otherwise access it.

A growing network of partners.

Upstream doesn't train churches alone. We work through a growing group of partners who are multiplying this training in their own contexts—reaching more churches, in more places, than we ever could on our own. Your gift fuels that multiplication.

A sending movement that's still growing.

More churches discovering their sent identity means more missionaries—sent well, to more places, by teams that are ready. Your gift is an investment in where this is headed, not just where it is today.

The church sends. We help. Join the “we.”

Give to the Global Fund and become part of the “we”—equipping churches, strengthening leaders, and sending the sent, together.
