Crosspointe supports the work of John Bayon as he has serves as the Area Director of CMDA in Michigan.

When looking at Jesus’s words in Acts 1:8 (“You will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, Judea, Samaria and to the ends of the earth”), one can see throughout this progression that churches were founded, developed, and continued in relationship to each other, even as ‘the ends of the earth’ approached. Long-term relationships between the churches of the first century became the key to an emerging network of congregations across the known world. The context for a global missional lifestyle is to be found not in independent single church efforts (short-term mission and otherwise) here and there in the world but in partnering in each other’s communities and networks globally for the long-term.
