In what is known as the Great Commission, Jesus commanded His disciples to make disciples of all the nations.  There are millions - and even billions of people - who have never had the opportunity to hear the Good News of Jesus Christ, and thus, face an eternity separated from God.  At Crossgate we are committed to praying, giving and sending people so that that men, women and children around the world will have the chance to hear this message of grace, and receive this wonderful gift of eternal life.  In the side bar, we have listed the nations where we are presently involved in disseminating the Gospel.  Because one of our missionaries is working among Muslims in a Middle East country, it would place their family in danger if we mentioned them by name or the country where they are ministering.  Therefore, we simply refer to this as the Middle East.
