The organization provides both material resources (food, medicine, etc.) and cash grants for medical treatment, education, nutrition, shelter, water projects, self-help programs, and care for orphaned and vulnerable children. Cross also engages in relief and recovery efforts in response to disasters such as earthquakes, floods and typhoons. From July 2017 to June 2018, Cross International distributed aid in 22 countries. 7 7 137 17 0 0 63300599 104358686 103596 178087 0 0 0 -2693 63404195 104534080 60516480 98266854 0 0 1050638 1970381 49835 43427 2129725 1850537 3805648 63467490 104086310 -63295 447770 5033936 5109153 945316 545993 4088620 4563160 X (See Schedule O for description.)Cross International channels resources such as food, medicines and educational materials to the poor through a network of Christian churches and ministries already in place within impoverished communities. In this way, Cross International can cost-effectively help the poor while empowering the evangelical outreaches of the Christian leaders it assists. Cross also gives these overseas churches and ministries financial grants to access local resources, which in turn helps local economies. 0 0 64824136 63587433 Focus on Medical: (See Schedule O for description.)From July 2017 to June 2018, Cross International medical aid focused on needs in seven countries: Afghanistan, Vietnam, El Salvador, Guatemala, Haiti, Nicaragua and the Dominican Republic. This outreach has had a wide-ranging impact. For example, Cross shipped medical goods to Guatemalan ministry partner Friends for Health and Life for distribution among free community medical clinics as well as hospitals that use these needed medicines to treat the poor. In another case, Cross funded fully-stocked medicine cabinets for churches in Vietnam so that trained "lay pharmacists" could provide basic medical aid to low-income people in need of care. Ministry partners such as these rely on Cross donations to keep their medicine shelves stocked, their equipment up-to-date and their professional staff employed. By equipping hospitals, clinics, home healthcare and medical outreach programs with resources necessary to provide services to their communities, Cross helps thousands of families who would otherwise go without quality medical care. 14729353 14448349 Focus on Hurricane Matthew Relief: (See Schedule O for description.)Cross International embarked on a major effort to aid victims of Hurricane Matthew, which devastated large sections of Haiti. Our disaster response team worked alongside local ministry partners to repair damaged structures and make sure families' basic needs for food and medicines were being met. With Cross' help, rubble was cleared, shelters were built, and victims received strategic food and medical supplies. Our support included cash grants as well as goods-in-kind donations such as construction materials, first aid kits, rehydration salt packs and nutrient-enriched rice meals. 12622554 12381744 Focus on General Support & Disaster Relief: (See Schedule O for description.)Cross International is uniquely positioned to help overseas ministries with their specific or unexpected needs. Cross' targeted responses enable ministry partners to obtain a specific resource quickly and effectively, allowing them to continue their work without disruption. 8054455 7849328 178087 4d Additional Program Services - EducationCross International provided education support in four countries: Ecuador, Haiti, Nicaragua and Peru. Although educational opportunities are technically offered by the governments in many developing countries, the quality of those services is often substandard, and the education is not really free because the schools charge small fees which are too high for poor parents to pay. Government-run schools may also require students to purchase supplies and uniforms that many families cannot afford. As a result of these costs, dropout rates are enormous. To reverse this trend, Cross International partners with Christian schools and education outreaches that focus on meeting the needs of poor children who would otherwise be left behind. With Cross' support, these schools have provided a quality education at minimal or no cost to the students. 4d Additional Program Services - Water ProjectsFrom July 2017 to June 2018, Cross International funded water projects in four countries: Haiti, Malawi, Vietnam and Zambia. For example, we partnered with the Kachere Development Program to install clean water wells in rural Zambian villages where children and families were suffering constant illness from drinking disease-infested water from hand-dug ditches. The results of such projects are dramatic. As clean water becomes more readily available, waterborne illnesses decrease and women no longer need to walk long distances to fetch small amounts of water from contaminated rivers. By establishing new sources of safe water that can serve communities for years to come, Cross International's projects are saving lives. 4d Additional Program Services - HousingFrom July 2017 to June 2018, Cross International supported housing programs in four countries: Guatemala, Nicaragua, El Salvador and Vietnam. These efforts involved, for example, the funding of Rainbow Network, a Christian charity in Nicaragua that builds safe, durable houses for families who would otherwise have to live in crude, dirt-floor shelters built from whatever scraps they can find. 4d Additional Program Services - ShippingCross International's shipping program uses monetary donations to transport and distribute donated goods that meet the exempt purpose of providing food, providing clothing, providing medicine, facilitating medical treatment, providing water, facilitating clean water, providing housing, facilitating housing development, facilitating self-help programs, facilitating education programs and/or addressing needs in a disaster relief and recovery situation. Through this approach, a donor's contribution can be multiplied ten times or more, as it places goods valued higher than the donation amount into the hands of the poor by the ministries serving them. Another benefit of shipping goods rather than sending funds is that Cross can provide crucial medicines and medical supplies that are not locally available physically or financially. This support keeps hospitals and clinics stocked with the needed resources so doctors do not have to turn away patients untreated. From July 2017 to June 2018, Cross shipped goods to churches and ministries in 11 countries: the Dominican Republic, El Salvador, Ghana, Guatemala, Haiti, Honduras, Lesotho, Nicaragua, Nigeria, Tortola and the United States.4d Additional Program Services - FoodFighting malnutrition is a priority for Cross International. In keeping with this mission, the organization gave monetary or material aid to feeding programs in 10 countries including Ghana, Guatemala, Guyana, Haiti, Malawi, Nicaragua, Peru, El Salvador, Honduras and the Dominican Republic. Many food shipments were specifically earmarked for distribution to children, who are vulnerable to long-term developmental effects from chronic malnutrition. One of the best ways to get food into the mouths of the hungry has been to partner with schools in developing countries. This strategy has successfully decreased malnutrition rates in the targeted communities while also improving school performance among the children who are fed. A large percentage of Cross International's nutritional aid was sent in the form of "Vitafood" - prepackaged, nutrient-rich meals that are easy to cook and serve and are scientifically developed to meet the needs of malnourished children. 4d Additional Program Services - Mission EducationCross International's overall mission includes educating Christians in the United States about the needs of the poor overseas and highlighting a biblical basis for responding to that poverty. This is important to the organization's goal of developing stronger relationships between the church in the U.S. and the church in the developing world. Cross achieved this goal by communicating directly to American Christians through Christian radio. The ministry's radio presentations were made to the public on radio stations throughout the country. Along with conventional radio, Cross International also educates through satellite radio, speakers, musical performances, events, online promotions, mailed materials and other forms of communication. 4d Additional Program Services - Project DevelopmentIn order to ensure the proper use of donated funds and goods, Cross International regularly monitors and meets with overseas partners. Field officers made regular visits to these ministries, reviewing requests for assistance, monitoring the use of previous gifts and providing professional assistance with accounting or project development issues. These project development services have helped Cross partners grow more effectively, provide a better outreach to the poor and maintain greater stability in the community.4d Additional Program Services - OrphansCross International responded to the needs of orphans and vulnerable children in 10 countries: Bolivia, the Dominican Republic, Ghana, Guatemala, Haiti, Malawi, Nicaragua, Uganda, Zambia and El Salvador. Efforts in Haiti have brought nutritious food, safe shelter and a quality Christian education to children who would otherwise live in squalor. And in Zambia, a church-based ministry has identified at-risk children, many of whom have lost one or both parents, and provided them with the support they need to achieve a better future. 8054455 7849328 178087 100230498 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 1 0 1 0 0 1 1 1 0 1 1 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 X 28 0 1 137 1 0 1 HA 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 X 7 7 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 AL AK AR CA CO CT FL GA HI LA ME MD MA MI MN MS ND NH NJ NM NY NC OH OK OR PA RI SC TN UT VA WA WV WI KS KY X X X James J Cavnar 9546579000 600 SW 3rd Street Suite 2201 Pompano Beach FL 33060 Jimmy Dodd Chairman/Director 1.00 X X 0 0 0 Joe White Secretary/Director 1.00 X X 0 0 0 Darrell Borne Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Michael Eissey III Director (began 12/2017) 1.00 X 0 0 0 Dr Mark Montoney Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Cedric Wade Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Will Walton Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 James Cavnar President 7.00 X 37073 0 3721 Henry Orozco CFO (through 4/2018) 7.00 X 31518 0 2503 68591 0 6224 0 0 0 0 Lewis & Associates 7570 W 21 Street Bldg 1026 Suite C Wichita KS 67205 Radiothon airtime 1465312 RMT Logistics 311 NW South River Drive Miami FL 33128 Shipping services 1095927 RWT Production LLC 8932 Orange Hunt Lane Annandale VA 22003 Printing & mailing services 243967 3 13617 196301 104148768 96433494 104358686 Shipping Reimbursement 624200 152500 152500 Vision Trip Reimbursement 624200 20087 20087 GIK Service Fee 624200 5500 5500 178087 51477 196301 54170 -2693 -2693 104534080 178087 0 -2693 2790085 2790085 95476769 95476769 65200 4501 53947 6752 1419883 434553 580066 405264 378080 29594 322676 25810 107218 33160 43606 30452 2757 2757 24455 24455 43427 43427 70743 29908 40835 286036 250 285786 1174638 613149 206819 354670 75049 643 74060 346 119007 23034 95973 234901 73376 15981 145544 6875 6875 25695 25695 Airtime 1426114 713057 713057 Miscellaneous 181722 2834 83134 95754 Data Processing 163355 149208 14147 Product acquisition fee 14301 5585 8716 104086310 100230498 1726087 2129725 X 1426114 713057 0 713057 338544 538063 158291 27174 2477 4010903 4029598 77922 48623 315870 297508 25237 18362 420562 447333 5033936 5109153 161671 145993 783645 400000 945316 545993 X 3855620 4330160 233000 233000 4088620 4563160 5033936 5109153 447770 26770 0 X X 0 1 X 1 0 X 91701486 92831136 92865285 63300599 104358686 445057192 91701486 92831136 92865285 63300599 104358686 445057192 6819135 438238057 2624 6120 8744 445065936 705451 0.98470 0.98360 X Part II, Section A & B, Column (D): The Organization is reporting in column (d) information for the short period January 1 through June 30, 2017.

(an affiliated nonprofit organization which operates under common management with the Organization but is not "related" to the Organization for Form 990 reporting purposes), and another unrelated nonprofit ministry. The number of employees reported on this Form 990 only reflects those individuals who provided services directly to the Organization as an employee of the Organization. Likewise, this Form 990 only reflects the amount of wages paid to such employees for services provided to the Organization. As a result of this common paymaster arrangement, the number of employees and the amount of wages paid to employees as reported on this Form 990 are lower than the amounts reported on the Organization's Form W-3, Transmittal of Wage and Tax Statements, filed with the Internal Revenue Service. Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 11b The Organization's top management official and top financial official each review the Form 990 prior to its filing with the IRS. A copy of the final Form 990 is also provided to the voting members of the Organization's governing body prior to its filing with the IRS. Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 12c The Organization's conflict of interest policy is distributed to each member of the Organization's governing body, its officers, and its key employees who provide a disclosure statement. Such disclosure statement indicates that they have received, read, understood and agreed to comply with the policy, and certifying that: (1) they have no relationships or interests that present a conflict of interest, or (2) they have one or more conflicts of interest that have been fully disclosed as required by the policy and have been properly administered in conformity with the policy. The Organization's President is tasked with obtaining updated disclosure statements from each Board member annually. Any previously undisclosed conflicts of interest are forwarded to appropriate Organization officials to take appropriate actions as required by the policy. Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 15 The compensation of the President is set by three members of the Board of Directors who do not have a conflict of interest with respect to the President.

The President is responsible for setting the compensation of the Organization's other key executives. In setting such compensation, the President utilizes comparability data compiled by an independent compensation consultant, and contemporaneously substantiates his decisions. Form 990, Part VI, Section C, line 19 The Organization makes its financial statements and its Form 990 available to the public through the Organization's website. Financial statements and Form 990 are available by mail upon request. Form 990, Part XII, Line 2c: The Organization's Board of Directors, or a committee thereof, assumes responsibility for the oversight of the audit of its financial statements and the selection of an independent accountant. This process has not changed from the prior year. An audit of the Organization's financial statements is conducted annually by an independent certified public accounting firm, which has resulted in the issuance of an unqualified opinion. In addition, the Organization is a fully accredited member of the Evangelical Council for Financial Accountability (ECFA) and, as such, subscribes to ECFA's Seven Standards of Responsible Stewardship addressing: (1) operation in conformity with the Organization's evangelical Christian doctrinal statement, (2) oversight by a Board of Directors, the majority of which are independent, (3) submission of complete, accurate, audited financial statements, (4) proper management and financial controls over the use of the Organization's resources, (5) public availability of the Organization's current financial statements upon written request, (6) avoidance of conflicts of interest, and (7) responsible, truthful fund-raising practices.
