Christ at the Crossroads Church

by Janet Buchanan | June 11, 2023 4:28 PM

We were asked to share our testimonies during the church service today.  Deric shared with the congregation, that had just been led to become a nondenominational church, that he admired the church for standing firm on the word of God. Then two of the youth shared their testimonies.

Sweet Fellowship

by Janet Buchanan | June 11, 2023 4:35 PM

The service was unique as the old congregation joined the newly formed church. It was moving to see the members vow to faithfully participate in the church’s ministries by their presence, their gifts, their service, and their witness. After the service they enjoyed a “sweet” fellowship.

Thankful for our Veterans

by Janet Buchanan | June 13, 2023 8:25 AM

Sunday afternoon we drove to Port Charlotte to assist a Veteran and his family with some disaster repairs. We helped with a lot of cleanup, but we really enjoyed hearing their story and how God works things out for them as they pick up the pieces and move on.

Today part of our team helped to put down 60 bags of mulch in the prayer garden at Christ at the Crossroads. It was a joy to see the finished project knowing that others would be spending time with the Lord in the garden.

Demo House #2

by Janet Buchanan | June 13, 2023 8:33 PM

The second Demo Crew worked on a house where the floors had caved in after 56 inches of rain had filled the house from Hurricane Ian. They had to run ply wood on the floor boards in the area so  that they could tear down the walls and removed insulation. They really worked as a team to get this job accomplished.

Homeless Ministry

by Janet Buchanan | June 14, 2023 4:16 PM

We found a community of homeless people nearby and we were able to give them the bags we had previously prepared. We had a great conversation with them and they gave real life lessons the youth, be careful who you hang around with and don’t get involved with drugs. They were so appreciative of our visit and several of the youth prayed for them before we left.

Service Robot Style

by Janet Buchanan | June 16, 2023 6:49 PM

After a full day at the beach we went to a bowling alley where we played laser tag and had fun playing games at the arcade, BUT the coolest thing was a robot that served you pizza at your table.

Good-byes

by Janet Buchanan | June 16, 2023 6:53 PM

After breakfast we gathered around our PPM leaders to give words of encouragement and prayer. Then Pastora and her husband prayed over all of us. And of course we had to get a final selfie before heading back home.
