About this organization
Mission
Cross International is a 501(c)(3) Christian relief and development organization that provides food, shelter, medical care, water, education, self-help programs, care for orphans and emergency relief to the poorest of the poor around the world in the name of Jesus Christ. We collaborate with dedicated Christian ministry partners who employ a community-minded strategy and who strive to increase the self-sufficiency of the poor. With our larger, more advanced partners, we provide not only financial and material resources, but also help with monitoring and evaluation, impact reporting, and financial accountability. They, in turn, open doors in the community and help ensure we can reach families with the greatest needs. Regardless of our church partner's size or complexity, we remain dedicated to serving the Lord and acting as good stewards of His resources. By working in partnership with existing church-based ministries and other faith-based Christian organizations, Cross International has developed an extremely cost-effective network for distributing food and other resources where they are needed most. Cross International also considers sharing the Gospel a priority and we strive to serve others with humility for the glory of God. Everything we provide is given in the name of Jesus, and we believe a strong, personal relationship with Christ is essential to the ultimate well-being of the poor. Our Lord is the only source of spiritual transformation and is the key to salvation and the blessings of eternal life.
About
Focus on Medical: (See Schedule O for description.)From July 2017 to June 2018, Cross International medical aid focused on needs in seven countries: Afghanistan, Vietnam, El Salvador, Guatemala, Haiti, Nicaragua and the Dominican Republic. This outreach has had a wide-ranging impact. For example, Cross shipped medical goods to Guatemalan ministry partner Friends for Health and Life for distribution among free community medical clinics as well as hospitals that use these needed medicines to treat the poor. In another case, Cross funded fully-stocked medicine cabinets for churches in Vietnam so that trained "lay pharmacists" could provide basic medical aid to low-income people in need of care. Ministry partners such as these rely on Cross donations to keep their medicine shelves stocked, their equipment up-to-date and their professional staff employed. By equipping hospitals, clinics, home healthcare and medical outreach programs with resources necessary to provide services to their communities, Cross helps thousands of families who would otherwise go without quality medical care.
