Dr. David Nelson
Dr. David Nelson is the President and Founder of Crossing Cultures International (CCI) based in the Tampa, FL area. Although the ministry was officially founded in 2006, the genesis of the vision for the ministry goes back to 1986 when David began as a Church Planter planting churches in Asia. This has now expanded to six continents and about forty nations.

God has used David to be the catalyst in training of more than 20,000 leaders - pastors, lay people and business leaders - who are taught and equipped in the Bible but also to become multipliers in their own nations. David has been at the forefront of teaching and equipping many leaders from their own nations rather than relying primarily on missionaries from the West to advance the Gospel. This strategy bridges huge language, cultural and financial barriers so that the Good News can accelerate.
