General Strategy
General Strategy: Our goal is to reach out to hurting people with the love of Jesus. As felt needs are met, there are opportunities to share the meaning of life and hope in Christ. As with all CrossWorld ministries, we seek a movement of growing and reproducing churches.
Type of Ministry
Ministry Type: CrossWorld's first missionary to Kosovo found open doors to the Gospel in 1999 on the heels of the Balkan war with Serbia. The work began with food and clothing distribution and help with home reconstruction. In 2001, a community center was begun as a light in the community, aiming to aid the 50% of the population which is under 22 years of age. Sports, the English language and computer training provide opportunities to share the Gospel. Currently we know of 3 believers in the town in which we minister. All of them came to Christ as a result of the continuous and faithful ministry of summer teams.
