CrossWorld

In 1931, a group of 36 missions workers serving in Brazil and the Congo formed Unevangelized Fields Missions (UFM). Originally headquartered in London, UK, UFM was primarily a sending organization for missionaries. The same year, UFM also opened an office in Toronto, Canada. In 1941, the Canadian office relocated to Lancaster, Pennsylvania. It later moved to Philadelphia and then Bala Cynwyd, Pennsylvania.

In 2009, Dale Losch became president of Crossworld . His book, A Better Way, has been used in Crossworld ministry initiatives.

In 2004, UFM became Crossworld, reflecting a heightened focus on international evangelization. In 2010, Crossworld established a Shared Services partnership with Avant Ministries in Kansas City and relocated its headquarters there.

In 2011, under President Dale Losch, Crossworld began seeking ministry workers from all professions along with those in traditional religious professions. Second, it began emphasizing "disciple-making".

During the 1964 Simba Rebellion in the Congo, 19 UFM workers were among dozens of hostages slaughtered by rebels.

In 1982, a UFM missionary family was featured in TIME Magazine in an article called “The New Missionary.”
