Blessing 131 Communities this Christmas!
In our last update, we were so excited to share that we have received over $300,000 worth of Christmas gift! Well, the giving continued until November 5th and our total donation of products came to $552,000 in value, which is almost double what we had anticipated. The warehouse at Canadian Bible Society was packed to the rafters and three skids high in some places!
Crossroads joins Giving Tuesday

Finding Hope In 60 Seconds
Cristina Baker went viral on TikTok by posting 60-second prayers, which inspired her to share her story in her new book “Hope in 60 Seconds: Encountering the God of the Impossible.”
Finding Truth in Reconciliation
This month has been extremely profound. I sat glued to my computer and watched reporters in Rome cover the historic exchange between Pope Francis and Indigenous delegates from across Turtle Island (North America). Although the official apology was long-overdue, Indigenous trailblazers continued to communicate ‘it’s never too late to do the right thing’. The Pope’s detailed apology was another milestone on this collective path to reconciliation.
Help Change Her Story
Did you know that when you empower a woman, you empower her entire family and surrounding community as well? Research shows that women reinvest up to 90% of their earnings back into their households and manage it toward nutrition, food, healthcare, school, and income-generating activities.
The God Who Brings New Life
For close to a decade or so, I kept my little family of four well-planned with soccer practices, swimming lessons, youth groups, summer camps, movie nights, and birthday parties. In March 2020, all that changed. Thanks to a global pandemic, most of our “plans” went out the window.
First Thoughts – Belonging to the family
Everyone wants to belong. To feel as though you don’t belong is embarrassing, humiliating, and over time can become devastating. When conversations about family arise in Christian circles, some people feel excluded if they aren’t married, have 2.5 kids, and drive a minivan!

Light in the Darkness
The primary function of darkness is to prevent you from seeing. In the wake of COVID-19, when all we hear, see, and talk about is crisis-related, many of us are left feeling defeated and hopeless. Consequently, the more we consume negative news and fix our gaze on our nation’s infection curve, the deeper into the darkness we fall.
