Problem --Gaining Access In Order to Take the Gospel

There are now 69 countries in the world that will not allow entrance in the traditional way it has been done for centuries - as a religious worker of missionary. CrossWorld is actively seeking new, legitimate means of entering into some of the least-reached places on earth, so that we can continue doing what we've been doing for the past 76 years - making disciples, preparing leaders and starting new communities of believers.

One Creative Solution
One of our appointees is going to a difficult place. How will he justify his entrance into that place? How about this cool opportunity that he just found out about...On Thursday I was contacted by a competitor to my present employer with a job offer. I explained that after I left them, I would be moving overseas. Then they asked if I would be open to working remotely from Western Asia! I would work as a consultant on a per project basis in a self-employed position. This seems to be an answer to our long term prayer request for a consultant or field position! Much would have to be worked out, but the level of interest from this company was definitely an encouragement that a position might develop.

Right now we need people with secular job skills (computer, art, engineering, physio, agriculture... the sky is the limit!), to help us form teams in places where there is little or no witness of Jesus. If you or someone you know is interested in helping us, would you please let us know? A one or two-year placement would be a great way to join in Gospel advance!
