A dangerous gap exists in the world today.
It's the gap that lies between wishing something would be done and actually doing something. It's the gap between seeing a need and jumping into action - between sympathy and responsibility. It's a gap that paralyzes most people from doing anything.
Crossroads is about bridging that gap because on the
other side are hurting people, people without hope and without the
resources to bring about change. Discover how Crossroads is working to
bridge the gap through innovative programs bringing hope and change to
the lives of everyday people.

coincidence God calls attention to the plight of the poor 256 times in
the Bible. Here we hear the heartbeat of God calling His people to a
life of compassion demonstrated through generosity and acts of
kindness. Crossroads is working to alleviate poverty through a
number of Humanitarian Aid initatives offering hope to children and
families struggling under the burden of poverty...more

Who I'd like to meet:
You Can Help
Let's face it its not always possible or practical for you to jump on a plane and come to South Africa to participate in one of the ministries or programs of Crossroads. You may not be in a position to give a year or two of your time doing a Short Term Missions Assignment. However, you can still make a lasting and significant difference in our world and in the lives of others. Your financial gifts help us do what you cannot and what we cannot do without you. Think about making a difference today through a gift to the ministries of Crossroads.
