Our CHALLENGE

Our challenge is to see the Great Commission completed in our lifetime.

More than three billion (3,000,000,000) individuals who make up about seven thousand (7,000) people groups have not heard the good news of God’s Love and the salvation that He provided through the sacrifice of Jesus Christ. And the end of time as we know it, is near!

Matthew 28:18-20 Jesus came and said to them, “All power has been given to Me in heaven and on earth. Go and make followers of all the nations. Baptize them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit. Teach them to do all the things I have told you. And I am with you always, even to the end of the world.” (New Life Version, NLV)

Our Mission

CrossPassion exists to express the purpose and passion of the Kingdom of God to all those who have never heard. This organization is a part of the movement of Christ followers in the end of time, dedicated to sharing the gospel of His LOVE with every Unreached People Group (UPG) in the world.

1 Corinthians 2:1-5 

Christ Crucified

And I, brethren, when I came to you, did not come with excellence of speech or of wisdom declaring to you the testimony of God. For I determined not to know anything among you except Jesus Christ and Him crucified. I was with you in weakness, in fear, and in much trembling. And my speech and my preaching were not with persuasive words of human wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power, that your faith should not be in the wisdom of men but in the power of God.

(New King James Version, NKJV)

Our vision

CrossPassion Ministries International sees a movement of global Christ followers that work by the power of the Spirit. Our organization envisions every people group in the earth engaged with an indigenously-led church planting movement that glorifies the name of Christ in the three billion plus (3B+) people. We see the fulfillment of Revelation 11:15.
