Avant and Crossworld are both Great Commission organizations committed to reaching unreached people groups around the world. As cross-cultural ministries, they operate in a combined total of 70 countries. Avant is an interdenominational, global mission agency founded in 1892. It pioneers church planting and development among unreached populations and operates with a global budget of $25.25 million and serving in 50 countries around the globe. Crossworld was established in 1931 (formerly UFM), is a global Christian missionary organization with over 260“disciple-makers” serving in approximately 35 countries. Its operating budget is $18 million. The Chief Financial Officer (CFO) is responsible for overseeing all financial affairs for both Avant Ministries and Crossworld. The CFO leads the Finance Leadership Team of both organizations through a unique and deeply collaborative Shared Services Alliance and serves as an ex-oficio member of the executive leadership teams of both organizations. The CFO provides regular financial reporting to their CEOs (Avant and Crossworld) and Board finance committee (Crossworld). Key responsibilities also include overseeing the budgeting processes, ensuring compliance with financial policies and FASB standards, managing investment advisory relationships and 403(b) retirement plans, and maintaining appropriate business insurance coverage. Additionally, the CFO supports strategic business development in unreached countries and participates in board and committee meetings as needed. ABOUT THE ORGANIZATIONS Avant was founded in 1892 as the World's Gospel Union and operated throughout the 20th century as the Gospel Missionary Union before adopting the name Avant Ministries in 2003. Over the past 50 years, multiple sending agencies have merged with Avant, the two most notable being the Evangelical Union of South America in 1975 and Camino Global in 2019. Camino was originally founded as the Central American Mission (CAM) two years before Avant, in 1890. At the time of the Avant-Camino merger six years ago, Avant's membership reached 500 for the first time in the history of either pre-merger organization. Avant is best known for two key strengths: a strong focus on church planting and its commitment to reaching unreached people groups. Furthermore, national churches in some of their longest-established fields-especially in Latin America, and to a lesser extent in Africa-value their ongoing relationships and partnerships. Many of these churches have transitioned from being mission fields to becoming mission-sending churches themselves, broadening their global influence through collaboration. Crossworld's story begins in 1931, when it was founded as Unevangelized Fields Mission (UFM), beginning with missionaries in the Congo and Brazil.Since then, Crossworld has faithfully sent workers to the nations across the world, and over the years, they've witnessed God produce lasting and meaningful fruit through that mission. In 2010, a few years after changing the name to Crossworld, the orgnization refreshed its vision to be a community of disciple-makers from all professions, committed to bringing God's love to life among the least-reached. They believe the global task of disciple-making is both the responsibility and privilege of the entire body of Christ. This includes those in traditional ministry roles-such as evangelists, pastors, and church planters-as well as those in professions often referred to as “secular.” The message of the gospel is saturated with the truth of God's love. Disciple-makers learn how to bring that truth into the lives of people who have yet to experience it-sharing God's love in tangible, meaningful ways. By helping others flourish according to God's design, Crossworld disciple-makers bring His love to life in all its fullness. THEIR MISSIONS Avant's MISSION To glorify God by helping others enjoy His presence through planting and developing new churches in the unreached areas of the world. Ends Driven. Outcomes Based. Healthy church metrics which emphasis planting and developing. Committed to Relational Care. We invest in the long-term health and well-being of our missionaries to they can invest in the eternity of others. · One Goal. Adaptive Strategies. A variety of means to establish & develop healthy churches where there is no church. Crossworld's MISSION Crossworld is a formative community of disciple-makers from all professions bringing God's love to life among the least-reached. Formative Community Our God-sized mission takes a team spirit of caring for one another. We shape each other and make each other better disciples and better disciple-makers. We live and love like Jesus and help others to do the same. Wherever our lives happen, we love people and share God's transforming truth. All Professions Our diverse skills and occupations give us influence across all industries and spheres of society. But in one area we're the same: mission. Our gospel-centered mindset is the same in every setting, every day of the week. Least-Reached Over 3 billion people on the planet live as part of a people group where less than 2% of the population are followers of Jesus. Our bias towards the least-reached means that over 75% of our work targets the places where Jesus is not yet known. OPPORTUNITIES and CHALLENGES The CFO role presents a compelling opportunity to leverage visionary leadership, strategic planning, and team development skills to unify and strengthen two distinct organizations-Crossworld and Avant. By embracing a flexible, detail-oriented approach and fostering an open-door policy, the CFO can build trust and collaboration across the team while upholding high standards of integrity aligned with ECFA guidelines. The staggered fiscal years-Crossworld starting September 1 and Avant following the calendar year-offer a strategic advantage, allowing for a balanced workload during peak periods such as audit preparation. From a 30,000-foot view, the CFO is positioned to envision future processes that drive innovation and scalable growth. The role calls for a personable yet strategic posture, with a CPA credential preferred to enhance financial leadership credibility. The role, however, also comes with challenges. Managing two organizations with distinct cultures and systems, while reporting directly to both CEOs, requires exceptional coordination, adaptability, and clarity in communication. The teams require a strong driver and delegator to bring clear role definitions and updated job descriptions, as well as documented training and onboarding processes to navigate a state of constant change. Establishing clear, documented procedures and fostering a cohesive, strategic approach to serve both organizations equally is critical to overcoming operational complexities and meeting diverse expectations effectively.

Located at the confluence of the Kansas and Missouri Rivers, it forms part of the larger Kansas City metropolitan area, which includes its smaller neighbor, Kansas City, Kansas (KCK). Visitors and residents alike consider Kansas City a lively destination with a blend of urban amenities and community spirit. The city offers exciting sports experiences, including the renowned Kansas Speedway, which hosts NASCAR races, and Sporting Kansas City, the Major League Soccer team that energizes local fans. Kansas City is the home of the Chiefs, winner of 3 of the last 6 Super Bowls, and is a host city for the 2026 FIFA World Cup. The offices are located in the north of the KC Metro area in an area called “The Northland.” While most of the population density of the KC Metro is to the south and west of the city, the Northland is growing steadily. Some of us describe Kansas City as having “Dallas vibes without the traffic.” The city has all the amenities of a larger city: it has great restaurants, shopping, and cultural attractions. At the same time, it has a relaxed feel. Home prices in the Northland currently range from $350k-$450k for a three-bedroom home.
