Crossover Ministries

We believe the following is what the Lord is showing us to do in Ukraine: First, we feel that God has shown us to keep a low profile, not actually starting churches ourselves, but starting as many Bible Study groups as possible in various areas, trusting that out of these groups, God will call and raise up leaders, teachers, and workers to train. S... econd, Shane plans to spend time with these leaders, teaching them the Bible, and ministry principles, mentoring them in the Prophets School approach as Elijah and Elisha, walking with them as example, and by doing ministry together, preparing them for future ministry, and encouraging them to assume and start Bible Study groups themselves that will lead to church starts. Third, although Marilyn will be kept busy with home-schooling our own children, we believe she will be able to give attention to the ladies, helping them to develop skills for teaching, church work, and childrens ministry. We believe it best, and would like to see the Ukranians do the actual church starts. We will encourage and assist them in every way we can, trusting that God will give them faith, boldness, vision, and desire to carry out ministry to their own people. We trust that God will give us favor with the Ukrainian government and leaders. We are serving as dependant missionaries, trusting that as the Lord has called us He will provide, and in no way have we deceived ourselves into thinking that we can do anything apart from Gods provision and the support of the local church. We would be happy to answer any questions about ourselves or Crossover Ministries, and would be grateful for the opportunity to come and share our vision with your church. Newsletters will gladly be sent to those who request them. Bro. Shane was born in 1966 and saved at ten years of age at Columbia Heights Baptist Church in Columbia, La.
