We work with effective on-the-ground ministries with proven approaches.
Cross International reaches those in deepest need around the world, helping them thrive. Through longstanding partnerships with local Christian ministries working in their own communities, we empower generous believers who give financial and prayer support to strategically advance the gospel and bring transformative change.
We work with effective on-the-ground ministries with proven approaches.
46 projects with 30 partners in 14 countries, and more than 33,000 children and family members are shown the love of Christ. Cross International was built on three foundational pillars of service: Orphans and vulnerable children, children with disabilities, and crisis care. We support thoughtful, accountable projects that help individual children, families and whole communities thrive.
The idea of “thriving” is more than just alleviating the pain, hunger, or thirst of an orphaned, vulnerable, or disabled child. It’s helping children find hope through the love of God and discovering their own potential. Our Thriving Kids initiative not only supports ministries that meet critical needs for food, water, and shelter, but also ministries where children are tenderly cared for and offered education, counseling, and a supportive social environment. The goal is long-term transformation and sustained growth—for their benefit and their communities’. 
We inspire and equip generous believers to make a meaningful difference for those in deepest need, investing in the lives of others with compassion and confidence. Through wise stewardship, we are able to maximize each investment: for every $1 given, more than $8 in life-changing support is provided to those in need. There’s hope happening all across the world.

Life in Haiti, the poorest nation in the Western hemisphere, can be very hard—especially for children. But there is hope for children like Christopher who live as “restaveks”
At just eight months old, little Melani weighed just over 9-pounds—barely more than half of what a child her age should weigh. Melani and her mother were admitted to Hope for Life’s St. Luke Pediatric Nutritional Recovery Center where a doctor diagnosed Melani with severe acute malnutrition.
