For years the Paez people have suffered persecution and oppression from the radical natives and “drug cartels” that surround the places they live. They are persecuted for their faith because their obedience to God’s Word will not allow them to join the violent factions in their areas.

On Feb 24th, 2022, parts of Ukraine woke up to the sounds of explosions and artillery gunfire. What has only been a few weeks for some is a lifetime ago for the hundreds of thousands of Ukrainians trying to survive. More than 5 million people have fled the country, 7.7 million people are internally displaced or are still trying to escape, and many trapped and hiding in fear between conflict zones.

Thanks to the overwhelming response from our viewers this past summer, Crossroads Cares is excited to report that 18 new communities in northern Uganda have clean drinking water. Approximately, 13,980 people are now able to walk a short distance and have access to clean water for drinking, cooking and cleaning.

The world has faced a pandemic that is still raging in many countries, fear and uncertainty of the future is plaguing many, and yet, we have hope! Christians in Colombia can attest to that.

In Uganda, they don’t have the same opportunities that we have here. Medical care is not as easily available, and they can’t just run to the corner and stock up on two weeks of groceries like we can: this is the time when the family of God needs to shine a positive and life transforming message that will show the world Jesus’s love in real and practical ways.
