In
2002 CrossRoad Church entered into a partnership with
Reciprocal Ministries International (RMI) to sponsor
a Sister Church in Tiburon, Haiti. The primary focus
of this partnership is to develop a relationship of
worshiping, witnessing and working together.
Each
year CrossRoad Church sends a short-term missionary
team lead by Greg Stritch, to Tiburon to visit with
and encourage our Sister Church. (See the current
opportunities for information about joining the next
mission team).
Members
and friends of CRC have dedicated themselves to raise
the necessary funds for this project above and beyond
their normal giving to CRC. Since 2002 CRC has been
able to provide a variety of musical instruments,
generator, stove, refrigerator and lights for the
church and school. In 2004/2005, along with the assistance
from a church in Indiana, CRC was able to provide
funds the renovation and expansion of the church and
school. In addition, 205 of the 300 school children
currently have their tuition sponsored by members
and friends of CRC (to find out more information about
sponsoring a child click on the Hope for Kids link).
