Exciting things are happening as God leads and grows this ministry! CrossLink is an evangelical support ministry, collaborating with churches and missionaries in the US Pacific Northwest, Venezuela, and Mexico! Church planting, short-term missions, discipleship & training ministries, as well as missionary encouragement are all parts of what God has called us to do. Join us where God leads you to participate!
CrossLink is based on the vision and calling to support on-going partnership with Hispanic ministries in Venezuela, Mexico, and in Eastern Washington. Many Eastern Washington communities are comprised of a majority population whose first language is Spanish. Most have never heard a clear presentation of the gospel. This vision and partnership has blossomed into the ministry it is today.
FEATURED MINISTRY
New CrossLink Board President
CrossLink is excited to announce that Nate Montgomery has accepted the role of President of the CrossLink Board and acting Ministry Director on April 1, 2024.
CrossLink has been blessed by president emeritus, Al Martinsen, who served over 25 years of ministry with CrossLink as a Board Member, missions director, missionary, and friend. Al and his wife, Judy, have permanently retired to Arizona where they are serving as Wycliffe ministry volunteers.
With this change, we are reminded of great accomplishments that CrossLink has been a part of over the years:
- Two churches planted in Washington State
- 26 individuals went through Bible Training Center for Pastors School
- 66 families served at pastoral leader retreats
- 13,000+ heard the gospel one-on-one through CrossLink projects and ministries
Going forward, CrossLink is continuing its current ministries and adding two new projects this year with two indigenous people groups in Mexico.

Pray for the work of CrossLink
- Pray for our new CrossLink Board President, Nate Montgomery.
- Pray for our ministry partners in Venezuela and the ministries of the RAVENZ and Arepitas de Amor food assistance programs to continue providing for needs. Currently, we need to raise $200/month to maintain our current level of assistance. Although Venezuela is not in the news as much lately, the situation continues to fluctuate and food insecurity is the greatest ministry need for pastors and their families, as well as their congregations.
- Encouragement and wisdom for CrossLink Board members.
- Pray for new CrossLink missionary pastor, Jesse Mooney in Tieton, WA, ministering at Iglesia Biblica Sinai.
- Pray for new CrossLink missionary, Hever Marin in Chihuahua, Mexico, ministering among the Tarahumara people.
- New and continuous support in prayer, finances, and participation.
- Pray for the families in Othello who attend church services in Mixtec and Spanish.
- Pray for Iglesía Bíblica Sinai and Iglesía Bíblica Vida Nueva and their ministry to many new families to the area.
PRAYER REQUESTS
“Christians need the gospel as much as non-Christians do.”
“Where cross-cultural engagement is concerned, token adjustments are no longer an option. To advance a credible message of God’s love for all people in an increasingly diverse society, we must move ourselves entirely as well as the churches we lead. We must adjust to a new reality.”
“The world’s peace is intermittent based on transitory circumstances. Christian peace is constant based on the never changing love of God.”
“Christianity is not a religion. Religion is the effort of men to reach out to God. Christianity is the only belief system in which God reaches out to man.”
“Christ is not one of many ways to approach God, nor is He the best of several ways; He is the only way.”
