Mission partners
At Crosslinks, we’re passionate about helping you to get involved in God’s mission to take God’s word to God’s world.

What we do
Project partners
Crosslinks supports local partners running gospel projects in their own countries. These projects are all involved in training Bible teachers and church leaders, or in evangelism. They are held accountable, reporting regularly on their ministry, finances and sending prayer letters. This is a great opportunity to support our brothers and sisters in building up the church to stand against huge challenges and in sharing the gospel in a needy world.
What we do
Training local leaders
The worldwide church is grappling with many challenges, including the threat of false teaching, and lack of Bible training for leaders. Crosslinks is committed to supporting local leaders for their ministry by helping them access training where this is scarce or beyond their means, and by running training conferences around the world. We help to provide both financial and prayer support for individuals so that they can be trained for Bible-teaching ministries.

Short-term
Placed with one of our long-term mission partners involved in 'word based' ministry, our aims for short-term volunteers are to serve, making a difference to longer term work, to grow and be discipled in your own faith, and to have the opportunity to share the gospel. Crosslinks short-term volunteers are all ages and go all over the world. We are also looking for experienced theological teachers for short-term trips on our Bible Training Conferences.

The journey to long-term mission: How long does it take and what should you do to prepare?
According to our research, it usually takes many years for candidates to go from initial interest in overseas mission to actually going. Most commonly, it took our mission partners 7-10 years; for more than a quarter, it was even longer. This means we need to be realistic with people when they first express interest in global mission and as …

The value of short-term mission: Does it work in raising up gospel workers?
We know anecdotally that short-term mission placements are a brilliant way to get a taster of overseas mission, but we wanted to know exactly how many of our mission partners had begun their mission journey in this way. We weren’t surprised to discover that three quarters of Crosslinks mission partners undertook short-term overseas mission placements before going …
