Crossworld

www.crossworld.org All professions. Making disciples. There's nothing magical about the method. You might even call it ordinary. Just be who God made you to be and do what Jesus tasked you to do. The result? The world's least-reached marketplaces will never be the same. And that's extraordinary. We're Crossworld. We're disciple-makers from all professions bringing God's love to life in the world's least-reached marketplaces. The least-reached people used to be hidden in deep forests and jungles. Today, they're hidden in the slums of the world's greatest cities and in the high rises of affluent capitals. In the world's least-reached marketplaces, great need — and great opportunity — awaits. Whatever your background, passion or skill set, there's a way for you to make a difference in cross-cultural and international ministry. You could serve as a pastor or a plumber and many things in between. Call it business as missions. Call it living on mission. The important thing is to do it.
