Serving the World and The Hague
Crossroads desires to strengthen our partnerships and continue building relationships with those ministries locally in The Hague and all over the world from Africa to America and many places in between. We aim to give those in our community the opportunity to connect with these ministries and have the privilege to be involved in what God is doing around the world!
Join us in helping to support, encourage, and pray for our teams while they serve God in many different ways and places around the world.
World Missions
Tim and Wilma Omalla, Child's Destiny of Hope – Uganda, Africa
Child’s Destiny of Hope is a Christian charity that seeks to reach out to desperate and helpless orphaned children in Africa. It finds it’s reason for existence in God’s commandment to ‘love your neighbour.’ – to reach out to those that are unable to help themselves.
Lydia van Bottenburg, Youth with a Mission - Belo Horizonte, Brazil
So far I have worked in several areas related to children at risk. I have staffed in a shelter for ex-street boys, visited their families in the slums, staffed courses training young people to work with children at risk.
Following a Course on Community Development, I feel led to work more specifically with the women from the slums, who are vulnerable in many aspects. I developed a project which envisages to show them how valuable they are for God and that there is hope for their difficult lives. The goal is to disciple them so they will find motivation to make practical changes to improve their lives and learn how they can be an expression of God´s beauty to those around them.
I invite you to partner with me. Prayer and financial support are very welcome, both personal and for the project. Thank you! http://www.lydiainbrazilie.blogspot.com/
