Kingdom Oil is pleased to be a part of a growing collaborative of diverse ministries, businesses, government and private agencies working to reach children, youth and young adults with the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Submitting to one another, these groups will cooperate in new ways to expand God's Kingdom in the Twin Cities through a holistic mission.

Xross brings an authentic and compelling component to the table: a fascinating genre of evangelical music called "Holy Hip Hop." God has anointed XROSS to powerfully preach and teach the gospel through music and prose that reaches the minds and hearts of people within and outside the walls of the church. While some will argue that "Hip Hop" has no place in the church, few will deny its power to reach a great number of people today. Typically, those he reaches are not interested in protestations over genre, culture, race, class and denomination. They steer clear of such debates, consequently they don't "go to church." But, by His Spirit, God is birthing new reforms in the church and she will progressively grow as one body with many, diverse members.

Surely the Lord shall use the language of the people to reach the people with His redeeming message. Xross and others are riding the wave of the Spirit and helping to call forth transformation of individuals, congregations and communities...." Rev. Richard H. Coleman/Kingdom Oil
