In 1979, Dr. Harry Wendt established Crossways International, Inc. an organization which has become a leading transdenominational, non-profit ministry promoting Bible study worldwide. Its materials incorporate visually-based study methods developed and field tested by Dr. Wendt during 24 years while serving as a pastor in New Zealand, Australia, and the United States. CI's materials are highly regarded around the world. Its courses are widely acclaimed because they are theologically sound, clearly written and incorporate illustrations that make the biblical narrative come alive. Its mission is to help people read the written word, to understand the living word and to demonstrate that word in their daily lives. To achieve this, it creates and distributes written and visual Bible study materials and trains teachers to use them. The company is headquartered in Minneapolis, MN.
