This is the CROSS Ministries Brief for the third quarter of 2025.

“QUOTE FOR THE QUARTER”

"And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in the whole world as a testimony to all nations, and then the end will come.” Matthew 24:14

God opened another door for the distribution of more materials worldwide!

The year 2025 has provided CROSS Ministries with positive opportunities to continue to be responsible stewards of operational funds. The higher cost of mailing packages to international locations has led us to investigate more efficient procedures. We are now happy to announce that we are partners with the ministry, Love Packages (www.lovepackages.org) in Butler, Illinois, allowing us to send more materials at a lower cost. After we collect literature, Christian books, and Bibles, we take them to one of their distribution points, in Decatur Alabama, for bulk distribution in 20-ton cargo containers. We will continue to mail packages of literature and Bibles to more cost-effective locations in the United States. We also provide funds directly to trusted ministries for the purchase of Bibles, eliminating mailing costs. We will also continue to ship individual boxes internationally for a small number of ministries as necessary. We will make every effort to connect ministries in foreign countries with the Love Package distribution network. Our assignment from God 25 years ago has not changed; to provide Christian materials around the world to spread the gospel!

Third Quarter 2025 Activities

BOXES GOING TO LOVE PACKAGES

This Quarter, CROSS Ministries collected, sorted and boxed Bibles, Sunday school materials, tracts, and study materials and other Christian materials from East Tennessee Associations, churches, and individuals for distribution by “Love Packages”. These boxes (140 boxes on four pallets weighing approximately 5,000 pounds) will be distributed to several countries and locations around the world. Also, CROSS Ministries direct-mailed boxes of Christian materials to Zambia, Nigeria, Ghana and Liberia plus an additional twenty-nine boxes were provided to ministries located in Tennessee, Kentucky, and North Carolina. This quarter, CROSS Ministries also provided funds for the purchasing of 80 Bibles in Ghana, West Africa plus transporting 28 boxes (560 bibles) to Book-Link International, Eubanks, KY, which distributes Christian Literature toWest African countries and thousands of individuals as part of their mission.

We are now able to send abundantly more Christian materials abroad. We covet more materials.
