Her International Work has included nations such as Africa (Johannesburg, Kenya), England (London), Japan, and the Netherlands (St. Martin). Dr. Crawford has started an outreach ministry to further the Gospel around the World “There is a need Ministry.” This outreach ministry continues to provide both spiritually and naturally for the body of Christ where-ever the Holy Spirit leads.

Dr. Crawford’s desire is to complete the God-ordained assignment of her life by “doing the work of an Apostle and making full proof of the ministry.” Her objective is to touch the world with the transforming power of God by humbly yielding to the impenetrable charge to reach the lost, and to speak life and hope to his people. She has seen the manifestation of miracles, signs, and wonders throughout her ministry. Her greatest gift to those she encounters is the Love of Christ.
