Thank You Cross Roads Community Church & Kiskiminetas Presbytery

In late August of 2005 following the horrible destruction along the Gulf Coast of the USA from Hurricane Katrina Cross Roads Community members began to ask us directly, "When are we going to go and work hands-on and give back what God has so richly blessed us with?"  In January of 2006 we arrived with a crew in D'Iberville, Mississippi.  The congregation has actively supported and encouraged these mission trips for their members and for their pastors ever since.   Thanks be to God!
We take you'all with us on each trip.

About this same time folk from the Diaconal Committee of Kiskiminetas Presbytery approached us about considering organizing trips for the entire presbytery.  In 2007, the first trip took us to D'Iberville again.  The Presbytery has amazingly supported all of the trips over the years and we are approaching close to 250 different volunteers since that first trip.  Each trip brings more blessings from our many volunteer team members.  What gifts you all are.

 In addition to the amazing support of Kiskiminetas Presbytery, Cross Roads Community has encouraged us to do this extra mission as an extension of their ministry knowing that it would pull us away for a week each year.  Without the extra work of Cross Roads staff Karen Disciscio and Kiski Staff Holly Wadding & Carol Mock, these trips could be possible.   Please tell them each thank you for their hard work getting this all together.


Thank You Cross Roads and Kiskiminetas Presbytery for getting it!  Faith Works!
