Joshua Marzano
Missionary to the Gaming Community
For much of his life, gaming was more than a hobby—it was his career. As a former professional Counter-Strike player, Josh competed at the highest levels for elite organizations including Counter Logic Gaming, Team Liquid, and Team Envy. He later transitioned into professional coaching, serving as the Head Coach of FaZe Clan's VALORANT team. Through these experiences, Josh developed a deep understanding of gaming culture, leadership, and team development while building relationships throughout the esports community.
God has called Josh to use that background for a greater purpose: reaching the global gaming community with the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Through Crossplay Ministries, Josh leverages livestreaming and social media to meet gamers where they already are, build authentic relationships, and invite them into a Christ-centered online community. There, gamers find biblical fellowship, weekly Bible studies, prayer, community events, and One-to-One discipleship designed to help them know Jesus, grow in their faith, and become disciple-makers who invest in others.
