THE SEND FUND
Stage: Funding
A structured missionary-sending programme identifying, assessing, equipping, deploying and sustaining African believers for faithful cross-cultural mission, particularly among communities with limited access to sustained gospel witness.
How we can work together
Partners may sponsor the complete project or agree on a defined phase after reviewing the scope, budget, timeline and reporting plan. Ameliorate Missions will serve as the local implementing partner: coordinating consultations and required approvals, recruitment, training, execution, safeguarding, financial records and progress reports. Responsibilities, payment arrangements and any restrictions will be set out in a written agreement before work begins.
For projects at a planning stage, activities and targets below are proposals. We will publish verified field updates as work progresses.

During the first funded 12-month cycle, mobilise and assess up to 50 prospective missionary candidates, train 20 and responsibly deploy up to 8 approved missionaries through accountable church and field partnerships.
The SEND Fund operates through a defined pathway:
Mobilisation → Application → Screening → References → Assessment → Training → Approval → Commissioning → Deployment → Field Reporting → Member Care.
Candidates are not deployed merely because they apply. Progression depends on assessment, preparation, safeguarding, appropriate church accountability and a viable receiving-field arrangement.
How partnership helps
Missionary calling alone does not provide assessment, cross-cultural preparation, deployment logistics, field supervision or member care. African missionaries need responsible sending structures capable of walking with them from discernment to sustained field service.
The SEND Fund exists to help close that gap. Partnership supports candidate mobilisation and assessment, missionary formation, deployment, field support and member care through an accountable missionary pathway.
What we intend to achieve
Year-One targets are forward-looking programme objectives, not achievements: up to 50 candidates assessed, 20 trained and 8 approved missionaries deployed. Verified reporting will track candidate progression, training completion, deployment, field reporting, member-care engagement and ministry outcomes appropriate to each assignment.
