2024 TRIPS

In 2005 Don & Bridget Brewster moved to Cambodia to start an organization that would be a light in an area that has been dealing with sex trafficking. Since those first days, Agape International Missions (AIM) has grown to be recognized worldwide and is making an incredible impact on the communities they serve. In 2013, The Crossing began partnering with AIM both financially and through mission teams sent each year. Teams will facilitate Kids Club activities with kids in the community, participate in Bible Studies and workshops with the students and leadership of Rehab’s House Church, and join in an outreach to the brick factories in the area.

If you have enjoyed a cup of coffee from the REACH Cafe, then you have already contributed to this mission!  That’s right.  Hope Coffee supplies all coffee for the cafe.  Hope Coffee works with local farmers and offers above average purchase price for the beans.  This helps to provide resources and supplies to improve the coffee bean picking process.
Hope Coffee has many different locations, but we specifically partner with their Honduras community.  Each year, we send a team of volunteers to help with whatever the local pastor has identified as the biggest need.  Traditionally, this includes projects like water filtration, building, education improvements, etc.  So you’ll want to be ready to work!

This trip is a great opportunity for students to work together and accomplish big goals over the course of just two days. We will be partnering with Homes of Hope, a ministry of YWAM just across the border near Tijuana, Mexico. They have been providing a hand up for families for the last 25 years. The Crossing has been partnering with YWAM and missionary, Alfonso Sanchez, to build homes for the last 11 years.
In total, The Crossing has helped to build over 40 homes. We would love for you to join us on this trip! Teams will build a home alongside the family receiving it. We will help provide a way for these families to change the course of their lives and experience God’s love through your hands. This is a perfect opportunity for anyone, whether they have been on a mission trip before or not.

Mid India helps children who have been rescued from difficult or dangerous situations, children who have disabilities and children whose families are too impoverished to support  them.  Mid India provides educational programs & child sponsorship to help redirect the future for these children.

You will be introduced to the many functions of Mid India that help to care for children through housing, education,  care for those with special needs, and providing clean water to locals.

 Each year, Crossing partner Proem coordinates with local city government officials to create a week long event to serve the Polish community in several different cities.
Serve projects range from painting & building to serving the local community of people with disabilities through a Shine (think Night to Shine) picnic with games and dancing.  
The key to this trip is flexibility!  Our group will be assigned our project for the week when we arrive.  

 This relationally-driven trip provides an ideal opportunity for experienced travelers to help make an impact and build relationships with the Ghanaian people. The Crossing will be partnering with City of Refuge Ministries (CORM). City of Refuge is a home to children that have been rescued from a life of slavery in an area near Lake Volta. They teach these kids new skills, trades and about the love and hope of Jesus. 

Partnering with us on this trip will lead you into an environment that will truly stretch you.  Your eyes will be opened to the modern day slavery that is happening all around.  This trip depends on your flexibility and ability to go with the flow as culturally the locals have a more relaxed attitude about time.  Our team will work to assist CORM in whatever way is most needed, including: teaching a bible study, crafts with kids, medical assessments, and/or building projects.
