Crossing Cultures International

HISTORY OF CROSSING CULTURES INTERNATIONAL
While planting churches in the southern Philippines (1986-1999) with
CrossWorld, David (MDiv, Liberty Theological Seminary, BS Cross Cultural Church
Planting and Math, Liberty University) and Mindy Nelson (BS Elementary Education,
Liberty University) were convinced of local church based training as the means to
healthy, growing churches. Later, with the Bible Training Centre for Pastors (1999-2005),
David served as the Asian Coordinator, equipping and mentoring national pastors
throughout Asia and the South Pacific. As the Bible Training Centre for Pastors refined
their strategy to only resource US ministries, with the blessing and encouragement of
BTCP and their local church, The Crossing Church, God directed David and Mindy to
start Crossing Cultures International (October 2005). Crossing Cultures International is a
501 (c)3 non-profit organization. The vision of CCI is to impact Asia and the South Pacific
with the gospel by equipping national pastors and leaders.
