May Praise Report 2025

At Crossroads, we continue to witness God’s incredible work through the faithful partnership of believers in Canada and beyond. Through media, ministry, and outreach, Crossroads remains a national platform where God’s love is proclaimed, shared, and lived out daily. These stories remind us that extraordinary things happen when we unite in prayer and action.

A Telethon Victory: Impact Multiplied

During our special week of programming, Canada: Strong & Free in Christ, our faithful partners responded with overwhelming generosity. We surpassed our $100,000 goal, raising $134,457.69. Every dollar was matched, doubling the impact—amplifying voices of faith, supporting worship across the country, and inviting Canadians into the hope of Jesus.

Together, we’ve declared that Canada is strong and free in Christ. Thank you for standing with Crossroads for truth, unity, and a future rooted in Jesus.

Royal Anthems: Songs for a Nation

In May 2025, the second Royal Anthems writers camp returned to the Ministry Hub at Crossroads Unity Commons. Over three days, worship leaders from every province gathered to write and record new songs—songs of revival, unity, and devotion for the church in Canada.

“The past 3 days have been something very special. Holy moments. Sacred altars. And Joyful offerings: all in a spirit of unity and faith. Worshippers from every province gathered to seek the Lord, pray, and create songs together. Songs that need to be in the mouth of the church. Songs about Jesus. Songs about sacrifice, devotion and celebratory praise. My heart is brimming with renewed hope for the church in Canada. These are days of Awakening. Revival is coming. Jesus is reigning. The church is worshipping. The Kingdom is here.” –Matt Tapley

Prayers That Change Lives

Crossroads’ 24/7 Prayer Centre continues to be a vital lifeline across Canada, connecting people to trained Prayer Partners. Stories of God’s faithfulness continue to pour in:

“I first called the prayer line four years ago, when my friend Diana* was diagnosed with Pancreatic cancer. She was known at the cancer clinic as their miracle patient, and to all who knew her, she was a faithful Christ follower! She has now gone to be with her Lord. I am grateful for Diana’s life that was extended longer than doctors expected because of your prayers and the grace of God.” – Lana* 

“I called the prayer line when it looked like I would face foreclosure on my home. Praise the Lord, I had the funds to pay today, and it was accepted with no problems. I am so grateful.” – Billy*

“I had called the prayer line for my daughter-in-law, who was in a very long labour, with some complications. Their baby daughter was born a healthy 6 lbs 7oz, and mother and baby are fine. Praising and thanking the Lord! Thanks for the prayers.” – Bernice*

“My brother Fred* has received a miracle from God! His open-heart surgery was successfully completed. He is better now and out of danger. Please pray for his speedy recovery. He is also a diabetic patient. Thank you, God, for healing my brother. You have shown us that you still perform miracles today, restoring our souls and healing us from diseases. And thank you, Crossroads prayer line, for praying for my brother. In the name of Jesus, Amen.” – Neil* 

Crossroads’ 24/7 Prayer Centre continues to be a lifeline for people across Canada, connecting individuals with Prayer Partners who stand with them in their time of need. The testimonies we receive demonstrate God’s faithfulness in the most challenging circumstances.

Crossroads Cares: Love in Action

A student from the Ukraine Seminary, who is also part of the orphanage ministry team supported by Crossroads Cares, shares her experience:

“I was nervous on my first day visiting the orphanage, but it became so special. I fell in love with the children! I was struck by how much the other student volunteers enjoyed serving them. I understand more about what is valuable to children. It’s not a gift, but sincere warm hugs, giving them your time, and listening to them. The time spent with them and the children themselves has taught me that we need to appreciate what we have and what we do, and we do it all for God. Serving them is like a small spark that shines in my heart.  I thank God for the honour given to me to work with the children and serve them. These trips are incredible for me.”

Ignite Hope: Power in Unity

Crossroads, one of Canada’s national treasures, calls on all believers to unite with us in reshaping Canada’s spiritual landscape and extending Christ’s love globally. Through our “Ignite Hope: Power in Unity” vision campaign, we aim to harness the power of unity in faith communities across Canada to restore hope in a dark world yearning for light. With God’s provision and the generosity of our faithful partners, we have already made significant progress toward our goal of raising $8.5M over the next three years. To date, we have raised $1,923,157, in year one, bringing us closer to making this vision a reality. We invite you to join us in three transformative unity projects: Anyone Pray, Royal Anthems, and our Ministry Hub situated at the Crossroads Unity Commons building. Together, we believe in the power of miracles and making the impossible possible. Join us in prayer for the continued success of this campaign as we step forward in faith and purpose.
