Preaching Jesus for real encounter across America and the nations.
Kross Ministries exists to preach the Gospel of Jesus and to strengthen the Church, in America and across the nations. Every event, every message, and every trip serves that mission.
The Gospel is Jesus: His death, burial, and resurrection. We preach for encounter, not information, because the Holy Spirit is a Person who still moves, saves, and heals today (John 10:10; Romans 10:9-10).
"I came that they may have life and have it abundantly."
John 10:10, ESVThe message we preach is Jesus: His death, burial, and resurrection. He died to save sinners, redeeming us from the curse of the law, from sickness and disease, from poverty and death, and giving us life in Christ.
Every message has one goal: encounter with Jesus. Not information. Not inspiration. If people do not encounter the living God, the message has failed. We want them to meet a Person, not a doctrine, not a religion, not a moral framework.
Active and present, He is the empowerment sent by God to do the work of ministry, to open the hearts of men, and to confirm His Word with signs, wonders, and miracles, just as we see in Acts and all through the history of the Church.
Tap any point to read the full statement and its scripture reference.
We believe the Bible to be inspired, the only infallible, authoritative Word of God, and that it is supreme and the final authority.
We believe in the Trinity as eternally existent in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
We believe in the deity of Jesus Christ, in His virgin birth, in His sinless life, in His miracles, in His vicarious death and atonement through His shed blood, in His bodily resurrection, in His ascension to the right hand of the Father, and in His present priestly ministry.
We believe in evangelistic and missionary fervor and endeavor.
We believe that for the salvation of lost and sinful man, regeneration by the Holy Spirit is absolutely essential. We further believe in the keeping power of God.
We believe in sanctification and holiness and the overcoming life in God's design for the church, which is the Bride of Christ.
We believe that sexual purity is a necessary expression for all of God's children and requires abstinence from adultery, fornication, incest, homosexuality, or other sexual relationships or practices forbidden by Scripture.
We believe marriage is the uniting of one man and one woman in covenant commitment for a lifetime, a sacred institution established by God.
We believe baptism is an outward expression of an inward acceptance of Jesus.
We believe that baptism is for believers in the Lord Jesus Christ and is to be administered by immersion, bearing witness to the gospel of Christ's death, burial, and resurrection for us, and our new life in Him.
We believe in the baptism in the Holy Spirit as on the day of Pentecost, and in the continuing ministry of the Holy Spirit as evidenced in charismatic gifts and ministries, and in the fruit of the Holy Spirit in the life of the believer.
We believe that divine healing is obtained on the basis of the atonement.
We believe that the resurrection of the church (the rapture) will occur prior to the Second Coming of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.

Evangelist Kade Krosschell carries one passion: to reach the lost and strengthen the Church wherever God leads. After a powerful encounter with the Holy Spirit that changed the direction of his life, he received a single mandate, to get the Gospel of Jesus to as many people as he possibly could. That mandate has carried him across America and to the nations, including Jamaica, Nicaragua, and Haiti.
In September 2025, after earning a theology degree from Dordt University and completing three years of hands-on ministry training, Kade founded Kross Ministries (KMI), committed to evangelism, reviving the Church, and carrying the message of Jesus to cities and nations through preaching, events, and media.
Kade's Gospel content reaches more than 3 million followers and subscribers across platforms, with over 100 million total views. Along the way, he made the call to restart several of his pages, moving away from chasing virality and reaction content and toward real depth of contact. The goal was never clicks. It's people actually encountering Jesus and staying connected to a local church.
Every event, every trip, and every message comes back to the same aim: point people to Jesus and strengthen the Church.
Kade grew up in Orange City, Iowa, always knowing Jesus. But knowing about God and truly encountering Him are two different things.
That encounter came at a middle school camp called Winter Blast. Evangelist Chuck Mulikin was preaching, and for the first time Kade heard God's voice. That was the night he decided to go all in with Jesus, not someday, but right then, in his own life.
All through high school he quietly kept a note on his phone for four years, building a message he did not yet understand, for a night he could not yet see. Then a friend asked him to preach the Saturday session of a junior high youth retreat. He had never preached before. He just knew he wanted to preach on Jesus, so he opened that note, and four years of preparation poured into one message: repentance, and the blood of Jesus.
He had never given an altar call. He did not really know what one was. So he closed his eyes, stood at the front, and prayed, hoping for just one kid. In the silence between the worship, he heard shuffling. And sniffing. He opened his eyes. All 112 students were weeping. A boy came running down the aisle and buried his head in Kade's chest. "I want to give my life to Jesus," he said. Then more kids. Then the whole room.
"Lord, if you do this every time I open my mouth, I will do this the rest of my life."
That was the calling. Everything before it was preparation. Everything since has been obedience.
Going into college, Kade was saved, but directionless. Then came a supernatural encounter with God and a baptism in the Holy Spirit at Faith Family Church. Purpose came. Boldness came. He went from powerless against the devil to empowered for the work of ministry, and the spiritual gifts began operating in his life at their fullest. His life was never the same again.
In the years that followed, Kade went through ministry training, learning the systems it takes to actually run outreach and events, knowledge he still uses today, alongside character built in him that will carry for the rest of his life.
In September 2025, after earning a theology degree from Dordt University and completing three years of hands-on ministry training, Kade founded Kross Ministries, because, in his words, "I am supposed to build what the Lord has put on the inside of me."
Since then, God has opened door after door. One phone call started what is now Ranch Fest. One conversation opened more than ninety doors across the nations for what is now Kross International Revival Nights. Kross International is also carrying that same call into Gospel Campaigns, believing for KMI's largest reach yet.
Years ago, Kade was on the phone with his dad while out doing ministry, and he had a vision: partner with a Christian company already serving communities all across the Midwest, and use it to reach those same communities with the Gospel. Pizza Ranch was the natural fit, with over 200 locations across the Midwest and growing, a wide-open door to preach, win souls, and engage an entire community in one place.
When Kade moved back to Iowa, his dad began helping open the doors, one Pizza Ranch, one city, at a time. Now, in official partnership with Pizza Ranch, Kade is going city by city preaching the Gospel to these communities, and so many have given their lives to Jesus, each one connected to a local church.
Every Ranch Fest starts with hot, free Pizza Ranch pizza for everyone who walks through the door. No cost, no catch.
Buffet cards, kids' Fun Zone cards, and more given away throughout the night, in a relaxed atmosphere for the whole family.
One short, encouraging message centered on faith and family, a clear presentation of the Gospel, then connection to a local church.



Kross International Revival Nights began with a single conversation. Kade sat down across from a man his dad had introduced him to. The man looked at him and asked one question.
"Where and when?"
Kade didn't understand at first. The man explained: right now, there are more than 90 open doors across the globe, and everything is already in place. The venue. The interpreters. Somewhere to stay, and a way to eat. What's missing is the preachers. "We can get you in," he said. "Just tell me where you want to go, and when you want to go." That conversation opened what is now Kross International Revival Nights.
And more than 90 open doors still ahead.
Healing, deliverance, and the manifest presence of God, believers and unbelievers alike encountering Him.
Whole crowds meeting Jesus, many hearing the Gospel clearly preached for the very first time.
Every trip works through local pastors and churches already on the ground, so the fruit keeps growing after the team leaves.


Gospel Campaigns are Kross Ministries' largest format: multi-day, mass-evangelism crusades believing for the biggest reach in KMI's history. Not one night, but several days in a single region, giving the Gospel room to move through an entire community.
Every campaign works through local pastors and churches already on the ground, so what happens on those days keeps growing long after the team leaves: souls saved, leaders raised up, and churches planted.
The first Gospel Campaign is confirmed for Bangladesh, and KMI is believing God for a harvest unlike anything in the ministry's history so far.
Several days in one region, not a single night, so the Gospel has room to move through an entire community.
Believing for salvations, leaders raised up, and churches planted, fruit that remains long after the team leaves.
Every campaign works through local pastors and churches already on the ground, carrying the harvest forward.
