The majority of United States participants never traveled overseas and need special guidance in cross-cultural experiences as well as preparing to witness in a foreign country. Constant encouragement from the staff and associates helps people take a giant step of faith. Many participants must grow to a new level of trusting the Lord to see this work completed. In previous crusades, men, women and young people from all walks of life, ages 13-85, have been used effectively. The two basic areas of crusade work are visitation and evangelistic services.
Every participant spends two or three hours each morning and each afternoon in scheduled visitation.
They witness in homes, parks, factories, prisons, schools, and wherever the host church desires. Many other evangelistic opportunities come outside the scheduled visitation. Most participants do not speak the language of the host country. Therefore, International Crusades asks each person to write their personal testimony. This is translated and 250 copies are printed in the host language.
