Latest News : October 2016 Greetings from Crossfire Youth Ministries. This month we are highlighting God's hand at work.   Annual Banquet:  A huge thank you to all who came out to support and encourage our Team at Weaver Markets. It was truly an amazing night hearing firsthand the testimonies of individuals whom attended years ago and how this ministry impacted their lives. Due to the the awesome support in attendance we are moving the banquet to Yoder's Market next year. It was so encouraging to see Weaver Markets facility filled to capacity! Next year we can double the attendees......Thank you so much. United Zion Camp Weekend: What an incredible opportunity to take 30+ teens away for the 16th annual United Zion Camp weekend. Friday afternoon I drove the big blue bus to Ashland for 3 boys & 2 adults. Returned to the Crossfire barn by 6pm to load up the rest of the crew and head off for a great weekend. God was all over this weekend as Brian Neal shared in song & message. It was a joy to watch the students interact with each other. The laughter and smiles as they played games in the gym, took turns on the climbing wall & learned how to shoot a bow and arrow. When devotions times came the students were engaged and attentive. Brian shared his heart and starting Friday night God revealed His presence and touched students lives. A highlight was Saturday evening as Brian was wrapping up his message and prayer time - I placed a small wooden bench in the front of the room and asked the group to imagine that God has placed a banquet table in front of you and to come up and receive what He has for you. What an amazing scene as student after student and adults took turns to come up and kneel down and ask God to pour into their lives....all this while Brian Neal sang worship songs.....God truly moved over this crew and is touching lives. Thursday Middle School night: This past Thursday evening Brian Neal shared in song and message. We had 35 students join us. At the conclusion of the evening Brian asked for a response for God - almost every student came to the center of the floor for prayer. What an amazing evening - we are continuing to see new students show who have tons of hurt in their lives and see God do an awesome work and draw them into His family & bring Hope and Healing to them.....God is so Good! Ashland Youth Center: This past Saturday Brian Neal joined us in Ashland to perform a mini concert. We ended up with about 30 joining us, including 3 adults from town. Brian sang, shared and prayed. A grandmother who showed up with her 5 grandkids came up to me at the close and was crying - sharing this event was just for her. She was very depressed with family issues and was so encouraged to be here....we got to pray and connect her with a local church for continued encouragement. Another couple - husband and wife - indicated a desire to have God do a work in their home - the husband has a tumor and cancer. We gathered around them and prayed God's healing touch on his life and again connected them with a pastor in town. God is stirring in this hurting community of Ashland and we truly value your continued prayers over this community! Weekly we continue to serve up to 50 children on a Wednesday evening. Thursday evenings up to 35 children & Friday evenings see about 25 teens. Our Ashland Youth Center draws bout 20 each Saturday & 20 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. Prayer needs: * Sabrina Burkholder in the hospital from a car accident over a week ago. Desperate need of a miracle. * Two of our elementary students lost a father this week. Cover family in prayers. * Looking to expand ministry opportunities for the local children and in need of a financial miracle to bring Caleb Horning on full time to impact more students.   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.
