Quote for this quarter: Only one life, ’twill soon be past, Only what’s done for Christ will last.

--C.T. Studd, Missionary to China, India, and Africa

Second Quarter “Snapshot” In the second quarter (2026) CROSS Ministries shipped twenty boxes of Christian materials to eight countries and forty-two boxes to three states (see chart). In addition to the sixty-two direct shipments CROSS Ministries continues to designate boxes of material to ship to Love Packages which shipped twenty-six shipping containers to sixteen different countries in the second quarter. A total of fifty-one for the first 6 months this year. Each container contains forty thousand pounds of material. In the first quarter this year CROSS Ministries received a substantial number of books from a retired minister/missionary (see first quarter brief). In the second quarter we have been able to ship twenty-four boxes of these books to Southwestern Seminary that will deliver the books to Latin American Theological Seminary in Porto Alegre Brazil. Southwestern Seminary has a partnership with Global Theological Ministry (GTM)and Global Leadership Development (GLD) to place books on the shelves in seven start-up libraries. Because of that partnership, the Lord continues to open doors to strengthen theological education and equip Christian leaders around the world. Partnerships with seminaries and ministry leaders in Africa, Asia, and Latin America are creating relationships for faculty development, graduate theological education and technology enhancements and leadership training that will have a lasting impact on local churches and future generations of pastors. We are honored to be a part of this significant combination of ministries. Thank you for supporting CROSS Ministries. With your help we will continue to provide Christian materials around the world.
