2 Months & 10,000 Miles Later
Dear Ministry Partner,
I am writing this newsletter on October 15th, exactly two months after starting my new journey with Crossing Cultures International. Over the last two months, I have been honored to meet seven national directors, indigenous pastors, and missionaries representing Vietnam, Cambodia, India, Laos, Thailand, Indonesia, and the Philippines. All 9 of us packed into our van have traveled 10,000 miles in two months, visiting over 30 churches, friends, and donors who believe in what God has called us to do. Even though we have been on this tour, the ministry has continued to grow, surpassing 8,500 pastors and leaders actively being trained, with over 22,000 graduates. 
I have been honored to preach God’s Word and present the ministry to numerous churches. The response has been incredible from the people we have visited. People genuinely understand how important our mission is that God has burdened us with.
Our vision in the future is to continue to expand in the 10-40 window. That is the latitude and longitude of the most unreached people groups in the world in which many do not have a bible in their language, a local church in their area, and a trained pastor that shepherds them. I am privileged to be a part of these expansions into these spiritually desolate and often dangerous areas for the sake of Christ and the gospel.
I will be arriving in Tampa on October 19th for a short break until November 1st, when my wife, Hailey, and I will be traveling to Chiang Mai, Thailand, for our CCI Global Conference, where over 200 pastors and leaders representing over 20 countries will be present. After the conference, I will be traveling to Jakarta, Indonesia. Indonesia has the largest Muslim population in the world, and God has grown the ministry amid darkness. I will attend the first graduation of pastors and leaders and teach our Cross Before the Crown seminar on biblical leadership.
The Lord has built up my Spirit in many ways, even though the trip can sometimes feel exhausting. The Holy Spirit is alive and well worldwide, and I thank you for my ministry partners who are sowing into God’s mission to redeem the world for Christ. A couple of families blessed me with large one-time donations, and I am incredibly thankful for their generosity and faithfulness. You know who you are! Thank you for your continued support. Our current goal is $3000 monthly, and God has blessed us with $625 in monthly support. Continue to keep us in your prayers as we faithfully serve the Lord worldwide and make his name great!
Sincerely,

David Narvaez
Ministry Development Facilitator
