"I thoroughly recommend The Divine Drama® and Crossways to other colleges and ministerial training programmes that are looking for a positive, informed and coherent course on biblical introduction. I know of no other materials which do such a good job. The text is clear, the questions help the students to get into the set passages, and the graphics over a cross-cultural visual presentation of key ideas."
The Rev. Timothy Dakin, Church Missionary Society, Reading, United Kingdom

"Crossways International has completely turned around my ministry! The graphic teaching materials have made a great difference in my ministry as we reach out to the huge majority of illiterate people in Ghana. Long live Crossways!"
Rev. Frank Famiyeh, Crossways Mission in Ghana, Accra, North Ghana, West Africa

“As the training principal at Salvation Army Officer Training College in Lusaka, Zambia, I have used the Crossways International’s biblical narrative courses for nine years. See Through the Scriptures® is taught during the orientation period of the two-year training. It grabs the initial enthusiasm of the cadets, and lays the foundation for future Bible teaching. The Crossways International curriculum forms the basis of training in New Zealand.” 
Major Robert Donaldson, Principal, Salvation Army Training College, Wellington, New Zealand

"Please send another 500 copies of the Biblical Tell-Tale Time-Line for our ministry in the Philippines, a country of much animosity between Christians and Muslims.
     Dr. Wendt, I thank God for giving you the gift to produce See Through the Scriptures. Here in Jolo, the heart of Islam in the Philippines, the Christian church is realizing its mission in the light of the Bible’s big story; that in this religiously hostile environment, the church was placed here to be God’s provisional display of His original plan.
     See Through the Scriptures, the biblical foundation course in my opinion, is being taught in seminars across the country: from metro Manila – to Jolo which borders Malaysia and Indonesia – to the Sea Gentiles Full Gospel Church in Zamboanga City – to the faculty and students of the Mt. Apo Alliance Bible College in Bulatukan, North Cotabato. Seminary students are being trained with STS for use in their internship work and for encouraging pastors, elders, and Bible teachers to teach the biblical narrative in their congregations.
     Our mission, in the festering Muslim separatist movement in this area of the Philippines, is to make these people Christians, not nominally, but truly regenerated and biblically-based Christians who have the mind and heart of Jesus the Messiah!"
Brother Victor Pabellon, Ebenezer Community Alliance Ch, Zamboanga City, Phillippineso

“Crossways materials are a necessity to my expanding ministry, and I especially like the miniature The Divine Drama pocket-size format. I ordered 500 of them for use at our Archdiocesan Convention in Padre Burgos.”
Archbiship Valiant Dayagbil, Iglesia Filipina Independiente, Padre Burgos, Southern Leyte, Phillippines

"We use Crossways International materials in all levels of our ministry. Those who have worked with us through the biblical resources have certainly grown in the knowledge of Scripture and in the understanding of Jesus the Christ as their Lord and Savior – and His ministry of service. This generation needs to hear this message – whether it be in African villages or in modern European homes and congregations."
Rev. Andreas Wernecke, Johannesburg, South Africa

"The Bible College of Victoria for a number of years has used Crossways International's The Divine Drama® program as a seminar for all first-year students. We have found the material and method of presentation to be very helpful for our students as they begin their work at College. It provides an overview of the Bible before students then begin to study certain areas in greater detail. The materials presented by Crossways International, their method of presentation, and their presenters have been very impressive. We have been very satisfied with our relationship with them and with the very positive impact that their courses have had on our student community."
The Rev. Dr. David Price, Bible College of Victoria, Lilydale, Victoria, Australia
