Gospel Support: Help Along The Way

March 14 - 16, 2025

“…whenever I go to Spain—for I hope to see you in passing, and to be helped on my way there by you, when I have first enjoyed your company for a while—” (Romans 15:24, NASB95)

Guest Speakers

Joshua and Naomi Smith, serving with EFCA ReachGlobal, have partnered with Cross & Crown Church as Spanish-speaking missionaries for many years; they first served in Pamplona, Spain, before moving to Mexico City and planting a thriving, gospel-centered church there.
