Who We Are

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.

 

Our Mission

To provide relief and assistance to people affected by disaster, famine, poverty and war, and facilitate sustainable development programs in their countries.

 

Our Motivation

To communicate a visible expression of God’s love, and contribute to the transformation of lives around the world.

 

Our Method

Our method is to present needs through our National television broadcast flagship program – 100 Huntley Street - and other select media, allowing the missions conscience and response of the viewers to direct our relief and development efforts.

We then partner with established indigenous organizations, churches, and Non-Government Organizations already working in the developing countries. We have also received matched funding from the Canadian International Development Agency, for our sustainable development projects.
