Family of Ministries

From coast to coast across Canada and reaching many countries abroad, Crossroads continues "a history of caring for the future" with renewed excitement. As we move into the future, we prayerfully anticipate an ever-increasing fulfillment of the original vision - to reach the lost and hurting with the hope that comes from knowing Jesus personally. The following information describes the family of ministries that are the various outreaches of Crossroads.

Circle Square Ranch

Circle Square Ranches are Christian-based, non-profit camps welcoming children and youth of any faith and race. Young lives are encouraged to grow spiritually, mentally, socially, and physically in an exciting, fun-filled, western adventure. Campers are invited to consider what the Bible has to say about them, as well as their relationship with God and each other. There are 8 locations throughout Canada, providing an opportunity for over 8,000 campers each summer to experience a life-changing adventure.

At Circle Square Ranch we believe that every child needs to hear the good news about Jesus' love. That is why we help kids who otherwise could not afford to attend. We are now equipped to accommodate children with disabilities at our newest ranch in Paisley, Ontario.

Support Missions

 

Since 1983, the Emergency Response & Development Fund of Crossroads Christian Communications Inc. has responded to death, destruction, and psychological trauma caused by natural disaster, war, and poverty in the developing countries of the world.

Our response to humanitarian crisis is both, short-term ‘emergency response’, and longer-term ‘development projects’. Our emergency response activities include: food & medical aid, earthquake & flood relief, and the rebuilding of homes.

We also service a short-term need in developing countries by shipping quality, donated goods in containers. Since September 2001, we have shipped over 45 containers (20/40ft.) of extremely good quality medical supplies and equipment, educational materials, bicycles, computers, sewing machines, musical instruments, gift bags, generators, and dry food. Local residents volunteer their time to this type of humanitarian service through our 5,000 square foot warehouse facility in Brantford, Ontario.

We strive to make aggressive long-term investments in five priority areas of social development – Health and Nutrition, Basic Education, HIV/AIDS, Child Protection and Micro-Economic Development. We have developed particular experience in ‘holistic community development’ through housing, education, agriculture, medical, rehabilitation, skills-training, and micro-economic development programs.
