6,000 young people in London mobilised for mission

The Send launch event in Wembley stadium.

This summer, the stands of Wembley Arena, normally filled with fans singing football chants, were instead filled with 6,000 young people singing the praises of God.

This was the launch event of The Send UK & Ireland - a new collaboration between churches and mission agencies for the purpose of inspiring teenagers and young adults to live missionally in five key areas: secondary school, university, family life, workplaces and the nations.

The thousands who attended spent the evening praying, hearing testimonies and listening to facts from the Evangelical Alliance’s Talking Jesus report. Towards the end, over 1,000 stood to demonstrate they felt called to mission – lifting their mobile phone lights into the air. 500 indicated they felt called to mission overseas.
