One of the biggest hindrances to researching miracle claims in the evangelical movement is that Christians often don’t value the need for evidence. The purpose of Send Proof is to change their perspective by calling on those who claim to be healed and ministries that report those healings to allow the Global Medical Research Institute (GMRI) to investigate their claims. We believe the burden of proof falls on those making the claim. Thus, we want people to Send Proof of healing miracles.

It is the first documentary of its kind that shows miracle claims that have been researched and published in peer-reviewed journals. If miracles do occur, it challenges the prevailing naturalistic understanding of reality throughout the West. Modern miracles can point to the possibility of the existence of God, the resurrection of Jesus, and divine intervention in creation.

No one is unbiased. We all have worldviews that we bring to the data we examine. The key to thinking critically about topics is acknowledging one’s worldview and biases, and then directly addressing them. The team at Send Proof did this by defining our terms, and methodology for what we would accept. We defined a miracle as when a supernatural being changes the normal course of events. Secondly, we concluded that every healing miracle claim can fall into three categories: A supernatural being healed the person, the person was healed naturally, or the person was not healed. Our goal was to look at each claim from all angles and make an inference as to the best explanation.
We relied heavily on the work of GMRI, which researched each case to demonstrate that the person had an unexpected healing after a prayer event, and to identify possible naturalistic explanations. When they could not find any, they sought to publish the case studies in peer-reviewed medical journals. After their review, we included those cases in the film.
