Crossover Communications International

CCI-Australia started out as Challenge Ministries International (CMI) in late 2003 / early 2004. Here is the story of CMI and CCI Global. Challenge Ministries International CMI was born out of the heart of an Australian man, Dr Peter Law. Peter moved to the US to carry out further studies and to be closer to the mission field God was placing on his heart – Eastern Europe. He began traveling to Eastern Europe in 1985 during the time of communism. He would meet with fellow Christians to minister to them in secret and has many stories to tell about the faithfulness of God through this time of Christian persecution in Russia. CMI really began right after the revolution in 1990-91. They began doing mainly evangelism, as the people had been denied access to the gospel for over 70 years. At that time they would travel to Eastern Europe (working in Russia as far as Siberia, north almost to Finland border, south to the Black Sea in Ukraine, in central Russia, Poland, Romania etc) where an announcement would be made of their visit and people would flock to the place of culture in whatever town they visited and gather there to hear the preaching of the gospel. There would be standing room only, and many responded positively to the message of God’s grace. At that time they would speak in hospitals, schools, universities, colleges, prisons, orphanages, military institutions, churches, theatres etc and receive a warm welcome. Over time, not much had changed, however they have had to re-strategise in order to keep in step with what God has been doing and to support the church in its need to reach out further into the community, train leadership, do discipleship etc. CMI always worked in conjunction with local churches, focusing to support the local church in their endeavours for the building of God’s kingdom.
