Chicago Vision Tour

4/29/2025 — 5/1/2025

Send Relief's primary aim is to provide continuous opportunities for you to visit our Ministry Centers and witness firsthand what compassionate ministry looks like in action. We hope you can draw from our experiences to initiate a similar endeavor, strengthen an ongoing effort, or directly collaborate with one or more of our Ministry Centers.

During your time with us, we'll introduce you to our specific context and demonstrate how the principles of ministry can seamlessly transition into your local community. We invite open conversations about what strategies have proven effective, what hasn't worked, and why. We also plan to explore your short-term and long-term goals, whether you've meticulously planned the next five years or just the next five minutes. We are here to assist, brainstorm, and pray alongside you as you consider your next steps.

We desire that by the end of your tour with us, you will identify one of the following three goals:

1. Equip you with the knowledge to replicate ministry in your local context
2. Present opportunities for you to collaborate with our Ministry Center & Partners
3. Inspire and empower you to continue developing ministry initiatives
