Major Gifts

At Cross International, the gospel motivates us to connect those in deepest need with generous believers and local ministry partners. Thanks to the kindness and generosity of Christian givers like you, Cross International has been able to transform the lives of thousands of children, families, and even entire communities over the last 20 years. Because of you, the chains of poverty, hunger, sickness, and hopelessness have been broken for so many in Jesus’ name.

Like you, we’re dedicated to seeing the “good news” of Christ shared in tangible ways with the world’s poor through powerful, humanitarian relief. From clean water and schools to food and medical care to community transformation projects that change entire communities for generations, your partnership with Cross is a beacon of hope that points straight to God’s incredible love.

We believe it’s vital to focus our work around vulnerable children. Tragically, God’s presence can feel far away for children when their bellies ache with hunger or they long for a glass of clean water. Through our Thriving Kids Initiative, we work with local Christian ministries to help bring stability into the lives of children, so they know that God’s love is real, powerful, and lasting.
