Crosspoint…GOing into All the World
At Crosspoint, God has called us to reach into our community and world with the hope and love of Jesus Christ (Matthew 28:18-20).  One of our values at Crosspoint is ‘impacting our community and world,’ and as a result of God’s call and that value, we have committed to set aside 10% of our offerings to go straight toward our local and global missions work.

We are driven to reach people with the life changing Gospel message, and believe God calls us to demonstrate His love and compassion in practical ways to those around us.   Our missions work is led by the GO Team (Global Outreach Team).  Their purpose is to evaluate, develop, oversee, and support our local, regional, and international missionaries who are fulfilling the Great Commission.  The GO Team operates under the authority of God and His Word as well as the Crosspoint Elder Team.

Below is information on the people that Crosspoint currently supports.  If you have any questions regarding our missions work, please contact the point leaders of this ministry, Darren and Jane Freidinger.

Nate and Ruth Reutter, Brazil
Nate and Ruth Reutter (pronounced Writer) are serving in the Amazon in Brazil with Project AmaZon (PAZ).  Ruth grew up there with her missionary parents and met Nate while in the States on furlough in 2002. They have been married for 5 years.  Nate helps Brazilian churches in developing their own worship style as well as producing web and video productions for PAZ.  Ruth helps out PAZ in administrative ways as well as working with short term mission teams.  They both are heavily involved in making disciples in their cell group and one-to-one discipleships.  For more information, go to their blog at http://www.reutterfamily.com

Jeff and Janet are partnering with Emanuel Hospital Association training and encouraging local doctors who will in turn go to the needy and outcast regions to do medical work.  They also work alongside national church leaders to promote holistic community development and the building and strengthening of the local church, as well as coordinating and caring for the many medical students and doctors who come for short-term visits.

Beth Ann Nelson, Italy
Beth Ann works on a team focusing on campus ministries with Campus Crusade for Christ at local universities in Rome.  She’s involved with sharing the Gospel and discipling believers.  As she arrived in the Fall of 2008, she is also taking language lessons to further her ability to make an impact in lives.

Todd and Missi, East Asia
Todd and Missi are involved with learning the language and settling into their new apartment, as they departed from the United States in January 2009.   Their plan is to eventually join a team already there to help in the work of planting churches in the country.
