Year End Summary 2019

Merry Christmas!

Here we are at the close of another year. You have heard it many times said about where did the time go. Here at Crossfire we have faithfully served between 100-150 children each and every week during this year between the Ephrata & Ashland locations. Students have enjoyed godly fellowship, devotions time, worship and prayer in a peaceful atmosphere.

We are blessed to partner with: Parkview Mennonite, Indiantown Mennonite, Heritage Mennonite, Faith Journey, Jody Horning and Tyler Eberly family in providing meals for our evenings. The children look forward to this meal time and greatly appreciate these meals. Every Wednesday and Thursday is covered by this tastly blessing.

During this past year students enjoyed: Snow tubing, a ball game in Scranton PA, summer VBS, a road trip to Noah's Ark, a mission trip to Harrisburg, a swim event with other youth centers, monthly roller skating parties, a fall festival with a hayride, teams providing drama and mime and most important - reliable evenings at Crossfire. Everyday Tuesday thro Saturday we have a time to minister to these students. Nights that are age related and highly anticipated by each child. Many children have only missed 1 or 2 nights in this entire year. They love attending Crossfire!

We have walked beside students as they have encountered many difficult times in family life. Loss of loved ones, families broken apart. Children needing a place to find comfort and I am so thankful for the opportunity Crossfire has to fill this void. It is encouraging to see children come into the program at 4 years old and continue on even through age 18.

We truly appreciate your partnership with us in ministry. Your donations in the month of December help carry us through the lean summer months. Partnering together we can continue to share the Love of Jesus to the many children in our community. Thank you for your generous support.

Sincerely,

James L Horning
Executive Director

Ps. stay tuned for some amazing news and opportunities coming out of our Ashland location. God has a unique vision and plan to reach the hundreds of children up north and you can play a distintive role in that vision. Keep us in your prayers. God is Good!
