Crossnet Ministries
About
Crossnet Ministries is a biblically based ministry established in 2009 by Dallas Bergen (Executive Director). The profound outworking of God’s grace in his life motivated him to begin a ministry that teaches and guides believers to understand and appropriate the wonder of their spiritual union with Christ.
The teaching videos on this website establish the biblical truth of this union and reflect the life-changing work of grace in his own life. Crossnet provides discipleship counselling and mentoring to assist believers in knowing and daily applying the truth of their exchanged life in Christ. These videos serve as a resource for believers to learn, experience, mature in, and communicate the message of their new life in Christ.

From Surrender to Peace in Christ
“Life was not always all peaches and cream. I had struggled a lot and backslid many times as I was still living in sin and never fully gave everything to God. When I finally surrendered everything and allowed Jesus to be my life (Galatians 2:20)—my life has been on the up constantly. I cannot begin to explain what it is like to have full faith and trust in God in everything, God has given me such a peace, it goes beyond all understanding. I really hope that everyone who has to ask Jesus into their lives or already has, please surrender everything to Him and fully devote your life to following him. Follow Galatians 2:20 and let Jesus rule everything about you. It has been the best thing ever. I was always in control and was afraid to give it up, but now, I am so very glad I did. Life is far better now than it ever has been. The difference is, yes ‘I still got problems,’ but I have a peace and understanding that God can solve everything because now it is His strength and no longer mine. May God richly bless all of you and I hope my testimony can help you to see that Jesus is the ONLY way, the ONLY truth, and the ONLY life. God Bless,” – C.C.
Eyes Opened Through the Exchanged Life
“Prior to taking these conferences, I sensed I was missing something in my spiritual life. I had been living for myself and unaware that God was calling me or inviting me to come to a deeper understanding of what it means to be in a relationship with Him. I was hesitant and unsure about taking an Exchanged Life Conference. The enemy told me lies and I listened to them. There is great opposition from the enemy to keep the truth of the Gospel hidden from those who seek after God. The conference is exciting in that it reveals the truth of God’s Word through an in-depth study of the meaning of the Scriptures. My understanding of the Scriptures studied in the conference was blinded prior to having been exposed to this conference. My eyes were opened and my heart changed in a life-changing way. My understanding of why my life was the way it was in terms of being burnt out, stressed out, and running in circles trying to please God through my own efforts, changed dramatically. The joy I now experience in life far exceeds the joy I had prior to having taken the conference. My level of confidence and courage has increased far beyond where it used to be. The relationships I have with my family and friends has grown deeper because of the truths I have learned through this conference. I now understand what it means to have Jesus Christ as my life. Jesus is the way, the truth, and the life. Praise God for the Exchanged Life Conferences and workshops! In Christ,” – C.R.
Grace Lifted Me from Deep Despair
“I was the kind of person who many people avoided. Being a very needy person and believing that other people could meet my needs, it was no wonder that I had had very few friends my whole life. This was at least part of the reason that I had been so unhappy with my life and had attempted to take it too many times to count. Satan had me believing his lies. I was praying to God one day and asked Him what His Grace was all about. I asked him whether it was something that He wanted me to know about. Within a few months of this prayer, my walk towards God's grace and out of the valley of the shadow of death, which had been my life, began. My spiritual participation in Christ's death, burial, resurrection and seating in heaven has radically changed my life since, as Paul wrote in Galatians 2:20, "it is no longer I that live but Christ lives in me." God's grace has totally changed my life and my view on life. I no longer look to other people to meet my needs but I go directly to the source—our Heavenly Father. He meets all of my needs through His Son's death and resurrection and His riches in glory which are beyond measure.” – D.E.M.
Unwrapping the Joy of Life in Christ
“Let me share my joy and the excitement of God's grace with you singing praises to thank my Maker. This new found joy is still coming up and going into the members of my body. I didn't have a transcendental experience, nor did I see stars and fireworks; but peace and joy is filling me up, the outflow from me becomes songs of praise! The Christian life is not about performance but of communion with Christ—to connect and to receive His grace to us. We're God's children—we have everything which God owns at our disposal. We received this gift box but we never opened it up. We're holding the gift unopened and pray to God, asking Him to give us this and that so that we can live a victorious Christian life, don't you think it's a little silly? There's no need to pray like that, all we need to do is to thank Him for all Christ has done for us, praise Him for His glory which includes us sharing in that glory with Him! Nothing can change our position in Christ! Because He's already accepted us! Isn't it wonderful? I found it helpful to be reminded that Jesus Christ the Lord has become My Life, and thus His is my Strength, Peace, Hope, Rest, Faithfulness ...my ALL! The list of provisions goes on and on to crush all the obstacles coming my way. What a package that I have received! Wow! I'm just like a little kid opening his birthday present, wide eyed with a dropped jaw to marvel at this gift!” – M.W.
From Empty Faith to Abundant Life
“I had been a Christian for 40 years and I knew the Bible promised not only life, but abundant life. It also promised the fruit of the Spirit in my life. This was NOT happening in my life. There was no joy, no peace, no rest. I tried Bible studies, conferences, special groups on spiritual development, books on how to grow closer to God, etc. Nothing changed! In November 2014 I was invited to an Exchanged Life Conference held at my church. Another conference, nothing to lose, so I went. The teaching at that conference totally, utterly, and completely changed me! I went from death to life! I was shown why my previous walk had been an absolute failure. I was shown the whole truth of Life in Christ and how God sees me. My life is now abundant, peaceful, joyous and more exciting than I could ever have believed. The fruit of the Spirit is becoming evident in my life. My relationship with God is awesome. My relationships with family and friends are improved. The Bible has come alive. The Holy Spirit teaches me, guides me, speaks to me, corrects me. I thank God for Crossnet Ministries and the Exchanged Life Conferences. If you seek a deeper walk with God, please attend a conference. You will be amazed! In Christ,” – K.M.
The Full Gospel: Christ as Our Life
“The Exchanged Life Conference is the glorious, Good News of Jesus’ death AND His resurrection—the full Gospel, which teaches that Jesus is not only our Saviour and Lord, but He is our LIFE!!!! This is not a ‘prosperity-type’ message!! This is about the abundant life which is available to all Christians, in EVERY circumstance in life! This conference has a very solid, biblical foundation and encourages Christians to understand who they are in Christ and what that means for everyday life. We are not always as biblically-minded as we think we are when it comes to our identity in Christ and how that affects our everyday life. I appreciated the teaching on suffering being part of the Christian life, the conference calls a spade a spade, which I think will surprise you as it seems so contrary to everything we are usually taught. The ministry was established in faith knowing that the unadulterated Gospel message of grace changes lives and sets Christians free from bitterness, defeat, unforgiveness, etc. I encourage you to attend this conference which is packed full of so much good teaching that is needed over and over again!” – J.K.
