WELCOME

I am amazed by the impact He makes using

everyday people, just like you and I, as His
hands and feet through CrossRoads Missions
various ministries.
I challenge you over the next few minutes to
put Him to the test. Look over this booklet and
search for what He is calling you to do with CrossRoads Missions as we
seek to partner with you in ministry. Spend time in prayer over it as you
seek His guidance.
Whether short or long term, CrossRoads Missions is a powerful source
of outreach for todays church. Theres incredible power in the Body of
Christ when we seek to serve alongside one another multiplying our
effectiveness. Sharing the love of Christ by meeting real needs is key to
service with lasting meaning and significance.
Over the next several pages, I hope you discover both a time frame and
location where you, your small group, and your church might get involved
both locally and globally. Your story and the story of those you encounter
for the Gospel will forever be changed by your partnership.

SERVE WITH US

After more than 23 years in full-time ministry

with CrossRoads Missions, I am still awestruck
at the faithfulness of God.

ONE DAY TO A LIFETIME

We seek to increase overall dedication to Worship, Service,
and Discipleship in the lives and walks of everyone
involved. Our hope is that these experiences greatly challenge
those who participate and serve as stepping stones to deeper
ministry involvement in communities throughout the world.
In everything, CrossRoads Missions seeks to serve alongside
existing local ministries as a catalyst, increasing effectiveness,
return on investment, and sustainability ensuring the
ministry of Jesus remains long after our ministry teams leave.

OUR PURPOSE

From just a few hours to a lifetime of service, CrossRoads

Missions removes barriers between you and a meaningful
impact in Missions by providing powerful community
outreach and missions opportunities that would otherwise be
difficult to access.

Step through the door with us and see the world

with the eyes of a Christ-centered servant.

CHANGE THE CITY

Over 80 percent of the U.S. population resides in urban areas. As these

areas age, they require ever increasing amounts of maintenance that
often results in run-down neighborhoods, which further exacerbates
the problem as families and a sustainable tax-base move away, giving
way to full-blown urban decay and housing blight.
CrossRoads Missions developed Serve Louisville to combat the
issues that come with this decay. With the goal of neighborhood
transformation at its heart, the ministry engages the church
throughout Metro Louisville to provide opportunities that
impact their community in meaningful and lasting ways.
By partnering with the Louisville Fuller Center for
Housing and various local churches, CrossRoads Missions
works to provide affordable housing in key under-served
neighborhoods throughout the city. CrossRoads Missions
team coordinates construction projects and volunteer
participation to remodel existing homes and rebuild
homes on previously condemned lots thereby engaging
neighborhoods, churches, fellow believers and those who
are seeking to know the Truth.

involved. Visit our website to sign up for a time to volunteer

CHANGE THE WORLD

It has been said that if you want someone to know the Truth, you tell
them. If you want someone to love the truth, you tell them a story.
Storytellers exists to partner with national and international
missionaries, missions agencies, and the local church to assist them in
telling their story and the stories of those they serve.
Storytellers seeks to empower relationships between missionaries
and their stateside ministry partners. What God does through
worldwide missions is incredible. But often those stories never
make it back to the pew because our overseas partners are
terribly overburdened with the heavy demands of ministry
and cross-cultural life. Promotional materials, videos,
newsletters, websites/blogs, and social media are vital
resources to strengthening these relationships.
An investment with Storytellers exponentially multiplies
the resources and efforts of field workers and helps create
an effective means of communication between them and
the local church.
Want to do more with the resources you have?
MISSIONARIES, remove the technology burden and
connect with Storytellers. Lets tell His story together!
SENDERS, empower your overseas ministry partners to be
more effective while they serve overseas and on furlough
