The following information describes the family of ministries of Crossroads.

 

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.

 

Crossroads National Ministry Centre is pleased to provide coast to coast spiritual support, through:

 

Providing two way communication, nation-wide, we support individuals twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week with their prayer needs.

Monthly, the ministry receives calls from more than 30,000 needy people, representing a myriad of requests.
