Crossworld

Our History

For most of the history of missions, we have sidelined 99% of believers from the Great Commission. We have said, “You can pray and you can give. But leave the full-time missionary task to religious professionals.” Meanwhile, the world has changed. Most of the unreached live in countries where you can’t go as a vocational religious worker. What will it take to bring God’s love to life there? You may not be a pastor or a Bible teacher. But don’t count yourself out of the Great Commission. God can use you in exciting ways among the least-reached. And if you are a vocational religious worker, we still need you! There are many places in the world where you are welcome. Your gifts and skills are a key part of making disciples cross-culturally. All professions includes you.

Our Mission

We are disciple-makers… Biblically superior? The religious elite? That’s not us. We simply live and love like Jesus and help others to do the same. It could be over coffee or a friendly game of soccer. It could be while swinging hammers or discussing an invoice. Wherever our lives happen, we love people and share God’s transforming truth. What about you? From all professions… So you’re not a pastor or seminary graduate? Don’t count yourself out. The world needs pastors. But the world also needs you, accountant. And you, landscaper. It needs disciple-making dentists, musicians, engineers, nurses, managers, designers, farmers and every other profession. Rather than “give it all up for Jesus” (leave your job and do ‘full-time ministry’), why not use it all up for Jesus — use your job as a bridge to make disciples cross-culturally? You serve Him best when you serve Him through the unique skills and passions He has given you. Bringing God’s love to life… Pour cement for a rain tank and introduce the Living Water. Treat an injured shoulder and convey Christ’s love to a heavy heart. Just like God imparted truth to shepherds in fields and fishermen in boats, go into their world and share the message of life in Christ.

Our Values

The least-reached people used to be hidden in deep forests and jungles. So we went to the forests and jungles. Today, they’re hidden in the slums of the world’s greatest cities and in the high rises of affluent capitals. So whether you want to reach the ultra-rich, the blue-collar workers or the poor and oppressed, today you go to the cities. In the world’s least-reached marketplaces, great need — and great opportunity — awaits.
