Crossroads Church

Mexico

Crossroads has developed a close relationship with Mision Cerro Grande, a church in a poor area near Chihuahua City. We purchased the land for them in 2004 and continue to support them by sending mission teams of high school students and a few adults there every summer. We disciple them by leading worship services, teaching Bible lessons, holding VBS for the kids, and with sharing food and clothing. We have also ministered to the Tarahumara Indians near Creel in past years.

The team has also developed a relationship with an orphanage for boys and Centro Cristiano Chihuaua (a Christian School and soup kitchen in a poor area).

We have seen God work in amazing ways over the years. We sent 2 young men from Crossroads to serve at Mision Cerro Grande for 3 months in the summer: Matt Friend in 2003 and Jordan Luper in 2006.

Trip Dates: July 22 - August 1

Approximate Cost: $1,700 per person
