Section 1
Crosswalk Ministry
Mission Statement:
Our mission is to
share Jesus with unbelievers, and encourage Christians to pursue their calling
by literally taking up our cross and fulfilling the Great Commission.
Vision:
Our vision is to carry the cross in 50 states
in 50 months. While traveling we will speak at churches, do street ministry,
and serve single moms and widows by offering handyman services.
Our Ministries Foundational Verses:
But all these things are from God, who reconciled us to
Himself through Christ [making us acceptable to Him] and gave us the ministry
of reconciliation [so that by our example we might bring others to Him], that is, that God was in Christ reconciling the world to
Himself, not counting people’s sins against them [but canceling them]. And He
has committed to us the message of reconciliation [that is, restoration to
favor with God]. (2 Cor 5:18-19)
Then he called the crowd to him along with his disciples
and said: "Whoever wants to be my disciple must deny themselves and take
up their cross and follow me. (Mark 8:34)
Our Message to the Churches:
“Step Out of
Comfort, and into Calling”

and other small projects.)

with two churches a month in whichever state we're in; preferably Church of the

Section 5
Prayer Support:
1)Pray that ministry
will come out of the place of overflow in our relationship with God; that we
would know Him more intimately.
2)Doing life of the
road can be exhausting, especially with two children under the age of five.
Pray that the Lord would strengthen us as family and that we would find balance
in this area.
3)Pray that there
would be a harvest of souls for the kingdom of God as we share gospel.
4) Pray that the
Church will step out of comfort and into calling.
