The Crossing Blog

As this New Year and new semester has started, we are seeing the Holy Spirit at work. Within the first week of school, students in first session organized a Bible study/discussion group over lunch time. Our first meeting was out of this world, literally. The questions they had were so deep. And as we discussed, read scripture…we all started sharing personal stories. They shared with one another their temptations and their struggles with sin. We shared our own as staff. We talked about “church”; and Mr. Becker explained that us sitting around on couches, talking, reading and sharing was church. Church is just a fellowship of believers in worship and study. Welcome to Crossing Church. After they all left, and mind you we had to kind of make them leave because our afternoon session was starting, a couple of them shared with me their feelings on the first day. One young man said, “It brought me to tears; that is the closest I have felt God in a long time.” A girl shared (4th day at the Crossing, mind you), “Thank you for letting me question and learn. I can tell the Crossing is going to change my life.” So as we pound out academics on a daily basis, and Lord knows we do “pound”; God has made our kids hungry for His Word and in a desperate search for the Truth. We feel so blessed and just give all the praise to Him.
