Latest News : August 2016 Greetings from Crossfire Youth Ministries. This month we are highlighting the "family" of Crossfire.    Water Day - is a much anticipated highlight of the summer at Crossfire. Looking at the above photo you can hear the laughter & squeals of the children as they jump into this tub filled with over 600 lbs  of ice. It was very cold.  They enjoyed tossing me into the tub to celebrate my birthday. A home group from Parkview Mennonite Church served a fitting meal for the outdoor activities.  A huge water slide was also a big hit of the evening. The Birthday cake also has a great story behind it. Some of the elementary students thought it a good idea to surprise me. A young boy insisted the cake be the bus and that it must be perfect. These children have a deep sense of appreciation for this ministry and they love being here so very much. Thank you DeMaddis & Fox family for a great family evening at Crossfire. 4th Annual Banquet at Weaver Markets. Mark your calendars and reserve your seat by contacting Jim at 717.278.3102. The evening runs from 6pm-8pm. Doors open at 5:30pm. We will be highlighting with photos the 25 years of ministry and hearing first hand how Crossfire has impacted several lives of previous attendees. You are welcome to sponsor a table for $300 and fill it with 10 individuals or just come and enjoy a delicious meal & awesome fellowship. Looking for another great evening celebrating the Hand of God at work in the Denver area.   A God Moment. We have been ministering in the Ashland area for over 10 years. Many times I wonder why God has called us there? However, recently there are 2 siblings who attend whose father ended his life early. This has made a devastating impact on these children. I asked God to provide someone who could share the pain of loosing a father. Here in the Denver area is a 15 year old who lost a father 5 months ago. This student agreed to travel along to Ashland and share. What an amazing impact this had on the students from Ashland with immediate and real changes taking place. I applaud this student for being willing to share through pain in a difficult situation. However to see the instant fruit was truly powerful. God is at Work.....   Weekly we continue to serve up to 40 children on a Wednesday evening. Thursday evenings up to 30 children & Friday evenings see about 25 teens. Our Ashland Youth Center draws bout 15 each Saturday & 6-10 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. We value your prayers and financial support - Together we are making a difference. The Denver Fair is fast approaching.  We will again provide a Ring Toss booth. This is a great time to come over to the fair and give encouragement in person. Many of the children will be seen hanging out around the booth. Try your hand and ringing a bottle and trying to win a candy bar or the grand prizes at the close of the fair on Saturday evening. Thank you for supporting us in Prayer & Finances. You are a valuable part of this ministry Team. Sincerely, James L Horning Executive Director Web Site Link We communicate through email and Facebook.
