…as you have done it unto theses… you have done it unto ME

[The Spirit of the Lord God is upon Me (Jesus), because the Lord has anointed Me (Jesus) to bring good news to the poor, He has sent Me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to those who are bound, to proclaim the year of the Lord's favor, and the day of vengeance of our God.]
Isaiah 61:1-2

CrossRoads International
www.CrossRoadsInternational.org
Crossroads International, a Non-Profit 501 (c)(3) Christian faith based organization, works collaboratively with local churches, mission organizations, government agencies, corporations and businesses for the accomplishment of the following four-fold mission: the evangelism of those without Christ as Savior, the discipleship of those who claim to be His followers, the raising up and training of future leadership for the body of Christ, and the development of humanitarian aid programs/projects that tangibly and meaningfully demonstrate the love and compassion of Christ to a world full of suffering.
In pursuit of this four-fold purpose Crossroads has established programs, projects, and ministries such as Humanitarian Aid Initiatives,Micro-development Projects, Medical Outreach Clinics, Teacher Training Workshops, Alpha Care Child Relief Programs, Leadership Training Seminars, Regional Youth Ministries, a Christian Music Band, and House Group Evangelistic Events. As we work to achieve this four-fold mission we maintain five clear objectives.
A dangerous gap exists today and it’s growing wider. It’s the gap between talking sympathetically about the problems of our world and taking responsibility to do something; the gap between feeling and actually doing something that produces change. Most of us overwhelmed by the needs do nothing, not even the little we could. Crossroads is about bridging that gap because on the other side of that gap are hurting people.
At Crossroads we are committed to addressing the needs of the whole person: spiritual, emotional, educational, and physical. Our programs meet people at their point of need, offering more than a sympathetic glance. We offer hurting people a tangible expression of God’s love: a plate of food, a doctor’s healing hands, a pair of shoes, training in valuable work skills, and a helping hand in starting small micro businesses while presenting the gospel of Christ. We call this compassionate evangelism and we invite you to make a difference through your own involvement in compassionate evangelism.
