Global Missions Partnership
Extending our witness beyond our city to the ends of the earth
The Heart Behind Global Missions
“You will be My witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.” — Acts 1:8
Over the last several years, we have focused on being In the City For the City—faithfully living as witnesses in our “Jerusalem.” Now, we are extending that same heart and calling to cities beyond our own.
We’re excited to partner with the Cooperative Baptist Fellowship (CBF) through their Global Missions program. This is more than just a connection—it’s an alignment of hearts, values, and purpose.
CBF’s long-term field personnel serve in 13 countries with a shared mission:
“Responding to God’s call and empowered by the Holy Spirit, field personnel cultivate beloved community, bear witness to Jesus Christ, and seek transformational development among people who have been forgotten and forsaken by others.”
Global Focus Areas
CBF’s global ministry is centered around three key commitments:
Global Poverty
Serving communities with tangible needs through sustainable development and care
Global Migration
Walking alongside displaced and international peoples with compassion and support
The Global Church
Strengthening and partnering with local churches around the world
These commitments resonate deeply with our values at King’s Cross Church. Our core values of Pioneering Spirit and Belonging compel us to support those who are building community and bearing witness to the transforming power of Jesus among the unreached and underserved. This is a natural extension of Our Story of Belief—that God calls and equips His people to take the gospel to the ends of the earth so that all may know Him.
Our Mission Partners
Through our partnership with CBF, we have the privilege of serving as an Encourager Church for Carson and Laura Foushee (pronounced foo-she), who are ministering in Kanazawa, Japan.
They serve alongside Kanazawa Baptist Church, meeting both the physical and spiritual needs of internationals in their city and surrounding prefecture. Their work creates spaces of belonging where people from all backgrounds can connect, be known, and encounter Jesus.
Carson and Laura have been serving in Japan since 2013, partnering with the Japan Baptist Convention in both Kanazawa and Tokyo. Their heart for community and hospitality aligns closely with who we are as a church, and we are excited to learn from, support, and walk alongside them in this ministry.
