Latest News : March 2016 Shown above are students from our Friday evening High School Crew.  Greetings from Crossfire Youth Ministries. This month we are highlighting the High School Crew and showing our appreciation to the local churches for their prayers, support and encouragement!   Our High school crew meets on Friday evenings 6pm-11pm. About 3 hours of free time is enjoyed with basketball, football, socializing & enjoying friendships. We also take about 1 1/2 to 2 hrs for devotions & worship. It is exciting to see them bond as a "family" and welcome newcomers to the group. Crossfire is a cellphone & electronics free zone - you will not find students sitting around texting or surfing social media but you will see them chatting & caring for each other. Many a great memories are made here with friends. Several of these students are 2nd generation Crossfire kids. I had the privilege of hanging out with their parents when they were 12-15 years old. Many of the students have come up through our elementary & middle school program and have been with Crossfire for 5+ years. It is exciting to watch them grow in their faith and love of Jesus Christ! Several are moving into volunteer leadership roles. We truly value this awesome group of teenagers! We need to give our heartfelt thanks to local church fellowships who generously give of their time, energy & finances investing in the ministry of Crossfire. Shown above are folks from River of Life fellowship, Brickerville PA. We value the monthly and sometimes bi-monthly meals from Parkview Mennonite Church, & a meal from Martindale Mennonite Church. Thank you to Indiantown Mennonite Church for the energy you put into providing VBS for Crossfire students & providing the Fall Festival & Party In the Park.Your sacrifices to our students is greatly appreciated! We truly appreciate the support from the following churches: Alive Church, Blainsport Mennonite, ECC, Heidelberg Bible Church, Helping Hands SS Class, Reamstown Church of God,Salem E&R, & Swamp Christian Fellowship.  You are truly investing into the spiritual journey of the children in our community! May God bless each one of you! Weekly we continue to serve up to 50 children on a Wednesday evening. Thursday evenings up to 50 children & Friday evenings see about 30 teens. Our Ashland Youth Center draws bout 25 each Saturday & 8-10 young adults on a Tuesday evening. As God continues to bring children into our midst we do our best to share the Love of Jesus Christ with each of them.
