The Crossroads Farm Adventure

By

What an amazing part of our life this ministry has become! Crossroads Farm is a rural youth outreach ministry that targets kids in Hillsdale County, kids that would otherwise not be reached. Katrina began volunteering at Crossroads Farm the fall of 2013, her first semester as a sophomore at Hillsdale College. Nathan joined her, after much prayer, the fall of the following year. They have worked together to pour into the lives of these kids, often coming home, as their classmates can attest, exhausted but excited at the relationships built every week.
Feeling the call to work at Crossroads full time after graduation, Nathan and Katrina are beginning the preparations to transition into positions as full time missionaries- a prospect that brings a lot of excitement and some scary moments too. Join them in their journey as they keep you updated on all the various aspects of the ministry/ student/ and newly engaged life :)

Captivating Moments

By
Hi! Katrina here. Over the summer, we take a break from weekly program (in order to give our volunteer staff a break) and instead meet with our students for summer bible studies. This summer, a close friend and I are leading a study together based off of the book Captivating.  We met for the first time last Thursday with seven girls attending and we've added a few more since then! This book has made significant impact in both Grace's and my life, and we're so excited to share it with these girls. It focuses on what it means to be a woman, which I know, sounds really cheesy, but I love the way the author approaches the topic. Rather than giving a list of ten things we need to do to become more feminine, or more beautiful, or more independent, or more loving, or more servant-hearted, the author looks at a woman's heart and how God originally designed it-- for life-giving relationship in glorious beauty. The author talks about the messages we receive as children, the good...

The Little Things

By
Contrary to popular belief, we have a life outside of work! I know, it's shocking. We love our jobs and the ministry God allows us to do, but sometimes we spend so much time describing all that God is doing at Crossroads that we forget to mention everything we've enjoyed in our personal growth and lives.  So here's a small timeline of some of the significant things that have happened in the past seven months. Each event has a small description in the second picture. Enjoy!

This is a morning greeting to REMEMBER!

By
Every day when I arrive at The Shed, I set up my laptop and make sure coffee is brewing. I run into my fellow staffers (sometimes literally pre-coffee), check my calendar, then email. When Dawn arrives, she gives us her customary greeting, "Good Morning, World Changers!" It's an encouraging, thrilling, scary, humbling sort of greeting. But that is what we're here to do. There are kids growing up all around us without parents or any form of parenting. Often times the world of the average rural teen is lonely, quiet, boring, dark--and it's our calling and job to change that world--to bring them the light of Christ. Brenna and Olivia are settling into the office routine this week--their first week of the summer serving rural youth at Crossroads Farm. As I write this, they are currently working on the process of building a team of dedicated supporters. And as they work, I can't help but think, wow, you all are so amazing. If you are or have supported Katrina...
