Servants of the Kingdom

The Mission: to make disciples for the glory of God and the joy of his people. We at the Crossing desire for all of our Covenant Partners to see themselves as missionaries. Specifically that Jesus has sent us into the world and wants to use us in the lives of those around us everyday. This can be with family, friends, co-workers and anyone Jesus opens a door for a relationship.
With that, there are a few folks in our body that have been called by God to serve in various capacities both locally and abroad. We’ve recently highlighted some of the folks during some of our Sunday Gatherings. Here’s a recap, contact info and ways your can specifically pray for these missionaries.
