Crossroads Cares

Beautiful British Columbia has experienced catastrophic flooding – a global humanitarian leader described it as “nuclear bomb level” destruction. They need our help. Families are displaced, homes are in ruin, and people’s livelihoods are being washed away by the intense flooding they are experiencing.

On Sunday Aug 14th, 2021, Haiti experienced a 7.2 magnitude earthquake 150 kms south-east of Port au Prince causing extensive damage. The latest numbers record 1,941 deaths and more than 9,900 people injured. Hospitals in the area have received extensive damage and has hampered humanitarian efforts. Thousands of homes, churches and schools have been damaged or destroyed.

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.

SYRIA – A country and people gripped by civil conflict since 2011 has created the largest refugee population in the world. More than half its population has fled seeking safety. Of those that have stayed, life is in constant turmoil. Being displaced in your own country…

Many Christians in Colombia are taking great risks to share the Gospel with those living in some of the most dangerous places for followers of Christ to evangelize. Taking the Gospel to these hostile areas often results in persecution from armed guerrillas and paramilitary forces.

Human Trafficking is a topic most people try and avoid, it is not pretty, it is shocking and for most of us, we don’t know how to navigate it without a barrage of strong emotions; anger, frustration, hurt, hopelessness and the unbelievable thought that we can treat one another in such horrible ways, especially children.

Lorna Dueck, CEO of Crossroads, recently visited Pastor Roshan and saw first-hand the damage that was inflicted not only on the land but more importantly on people’s hearts and minds. Pastor Roshan’s vision for his people and community is to “connect the disconnected to the reality of life in Christ.” The mission is a mandate to bring the tangible love of God to everyone at their point of need.
