ABOUT
CROSSROADS

​

THE NEED

The university campus is the modern day crossroads of the world. Like the first century Day of Pentecost it brings people of all nationalities and cultures together into the marketplace of modern thought.  Today 1 million and counting international students and visiting scholars walk the campuses in search for purpose and meaning.  They come from more than 220 countries (many of these countries restrict access to or are openly hostile towards the gospel).  Enrollment numbers of these students flocking to our campuses grows significantly every year with no anticipation of decline in the years ahead.  Many of these future leaders of the world are eager to develop friendships with Christians and hear about the gospel during their stay in the US.
