Missions at Crossroads

Mission has always been at the very heart of Crossroads Church. The original team that planted Crossroads was from a mission organization that had a vision for planting churches in post modern Europe. You may not even be aware that 15% of the annual income of Crossroads is set aside for missions support.

In 2010 we are financially supporting 13 missionaries, 5 mission organizations and have given several onetime gifts for short term outreaches. By the end of the year we will have given €95.602,00 in total. This in itself shows our serious commitment to missions both across the street and across the world.

Our missionaries serve in many capacities: church planting, mercy ministries, urban missions, social justice, evangelism, leadership training. You can find Crossroads missionaries ministering in Amsterdam, The Netherlands, Europe, Africa and Asia. We are so very thankful for those from among us who are willing to “go” and share the very good news of Jesus.

If you would like to know more about missions at Crossroads or information about our missionaries and supported organizations, you can visit our missions’ board in the lobby on Sunday or join us for our monthly missions’ prayer time on the last Sunday of every month. We would love to have you with us.

As a final note, you should know that Crossroads now has an active Missions Committee. Though the elders are responsible for policy and final decisions for financial support, the missions committee is responsible for the day to day oversight of missions at Crossroads. This includes everything from prayer support, pastoral care for our missionaries, mobilization, training, interviewing missionary candidates and making recommendations to the elders. The missions committee at present is: Bill Hoopes, Theo Zwart (Frontiers), Phoebe Lagerweij and Steve Ashworth (YWAM). Please keep this team in your prayers as well as all our missionaries.
