Worldwide Ministry Outreach

CrossLife Ministries

A four-decade journey of ministry—from international missions and leadership training to worldwide digital outreach—proclaiming one central message: Christ is our life.

For more than four decades, Don Burzynski has served pastors, missionaries, churches, and Christian leaders through counseling, leadership training, and grace-centered biblical teaching. Since joining the team at CrossLife Ministries in 2000, this work has continued through a ministry devoted to helping people understand their identity in Christ and learn how to live from Him as their source of life.

For many years, much of this ministry included international missions, leadership training seminars, pastoral counseling, and teaching opportunities in multiple nations. In recent years, that outreach has continued to expand through digital teaching and media resources, allowing the message to reach people around the world.

Throughout every season of ministry, the central message has remained the same: helping believers understand their identity in Christ and learn how to live from Him as their source of life.

Many of these ministry opportunities involved not only preaching and teaching but also counseling missionaries, strengthening ministry leaders, and assisting churches navigating difficult ministry environments.

A Personal Dimension

Several of Don’s children participated in these mission trips over the years, making this ministry a deeply personal family experience.

Like many mission efforts, these journeys included unexpected challenges—including being stranded in Haiti during the events of September 11, 2001.

Despite these circumstances, each opportunity served the same purpose: strengthening believers and encouraging Christian leaders in their calling.

Continuing the Mission — Worldwide Outreach Today

While international travel has become less frequent in recent years, the ministry’s outreach has continued to expand through digital teaching and media resources.

In 2018, Don launched the Life As God Intended YouTube channel, extending the ministry’s teaching beyond geographical boundaries. While earlier ministry involved travel to twelve nations, the message now reaches viewers in more than twenty nations through online media.

The channel continues to grow, with more than 46,000 subscribers and viewers engaging with the message of Christ as our Life from many parts of the world.

In addition to YouTube, CrossLife Ministries continues to provide books, counseling resources, and teaching materials designed to help believers understand their identity in Christ and learn how to live as God intended.

In many ways, what once required international travel is now reaching people across the world through online teaching and digital resources.

The Heart of the Mission

Whether counseling in a private office, teaching online, writing books, or ministering in another nation, the heart of CrossLife Ministries remains the same:

Helping people understand their identity in Christ and learn how to live as God intended—deriving life from Him by faith.
