THE
CROSSING: 252
(from Luke 2:52 “And Jesus grew in wisdom and stature, and
in favor with God and men.”)
“Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.” Matthew 28:19-20
In 2003, the mission opened a Friday night youth center to provide a safe place for kids in 6th-12th grades to enjoy activities, such as: basketball, video games, pool, karaoke or Christian music, snacks and board games. This event is open to any/all students at the "cost" of participation in a 10-15 minute talk presenting the Gospel of Jesus Christ. We believe that this scripture represents important life skills for these youth to learn and develop.
From this event, small groups have recently evolved. Building relationships with kids in these rural communities and helping them find “healthy entertainment” are two of the main goals of the mission’s youth program in sharing Christ's love with these youth. BJ Sink is the director of The Crossing: 252.
Please search your heart and pray about partnering with us in this new ministry. Prayerfully consider the Great Commission (Matt. 28:19-20). You can help build the kingdom of God from where you are through your prayers and financial contributions.
