are there opportunities to go & serve in china and south korea?

serving in China

  • Our ability to send short/mid/long term missionaries largely depends on the Chinese political climate and China’s attitude towards Christian missionaries

  • Sending teams into China comes with risks and we have terminated trips on short notice in the past to ensure the safety of members and our missionaries

  • Field work typically requires any or all or the following:

    • Bilingual in English and Mandarin or Korean (or trilingual!)

    • Background in medicine, therapy or counseling

    • A heart to love the Lord and to serve refugees

    • Pass as a local/native as to not raise suspicion while moving around China


serving in SOUTH Korea

  • Our primary work in South Korea is Elim House, a safehouse for abused North Korean defector women and their children

  • We plan to start sending small teams to South Korea in 2022

  • Field work in South Korea will require any or all of the following:

    • Bilingual in English and Korean

    • Background in medicine, therapy or counseling

    • A heart to love the Lord and to serve refugees


volunteering for Crossing Borders in the United States

  • Invite us to your church, campus ministry, book club, etc. We’d love to share more about our work and how God is moving in China and South Korea

  • If you have the gift of administration, Salesforce skills, content/copy writing, etc., reach out to us


love god, love others

  • We thank God for every heart that yearns to help North Korean refugees

  • The safety of North Korean refugees is our number one priority

  • We also take every precaution to ensure the safety of our workers, missionaries and volunteers

  • For all of these reasons, we are careful to discern the timing and details of trips, teams and volunteers
