He’s a Good, Good Father

by Janet Buchanan | June 18, 2023 6:05 PM

Today was Father’s Day and our Heavenly Father blessed us as we worshiped at The Crossing Ministry church. We arrived to find out the internet was down so our team provided the music  The girls started off with the song He’s a Good, Good Father. The congregation was so grateful as the pastor was out of town and two of the members were sharing their testimony for the service.  That is when we realized this church was formed to support recovering drug abusers  


He’s a Good, Good Father

A Father’s Love

by Janet Buchanan | June 18, 2023 8:44 PM

The message was loud and clear… While holding his son in his arms, this father shared his testimony about pray and how he gave up drugs to get his son back to be the father he was supposed to be. Just as his Heavenly Father loved him. What a testimony!

A Father’s Love

Before we started our job of mucking this house we started off with prayer (Mucking a house means to strip it down to the studs)

Joy Bibles

A group of women from the JOY group at our church took the time to mark these bibles with special notes, highlighted verses, stickers, and bookmarks. We presented them to Carrie, one of the church members at The Crossing Ministry to give out to the recovery group.
