Polly Standring shares the remarkable story of global evangelical mission agency Crosslinks, which is now celebrating its centenary.
Crosslinks exists to help people get involved in God’s mission. 27 October 2022 marks our 100th birthday – that’s a century of taking God’s word to God’s world! What God has done through the 1,420 men and women sent out by Crosslinks over the last century is remarkable.
The society began in 1922 as the Bible Churchmen’s Missionary Society (BCMS). The inclusion of ‘Bible’ was key: all members and missionaries were required to uphold the authority of Scripture as God’s word. At the time, this went against the grain of the existing Church Missionary Society. While the BCMS became Crosslinks in 1992, the beliefs of the original founders still stand.
