Crossroads’ work is possible because of the generosity and faithfulness of individual donors. While large organizations and grants help sustain efforts to serve incarcerated men and women, it is the unwavering commitment of individuals that truly fuels the ministry’s mission worldwide. Their impact extends beyond financial support, touching the spiritual and communal well-being of both those who give and those who receive.
A Foundation of Faithful Giving
This ministry relies on the generosity of believers who understand the power of embracing God’s Word and supporting programs that foster discipleship. Unlike corporate sponsorships or large endowments, individual donors provide consistent and heartfelt gifts, often driven by deep personal conviction and a connection to Jesus and the Bible. Their faith-inspired contributions enable Crossroads to remain agile and responsive to the ever-changing landscape of the Department of Corrections.
Sustaining Daily Operations
Individual donations cover 70% of the ministry’s essential annual operating costs, from maintaining facilities to funding staff salaries and developing new curriculum. Weekly gifts range from $2 to $20,000, with every dollar directed toward the mission of connecting incarcerated people with mentors from churches to study God’s Word. In 2024, 51% of Crossroads’ total gifts came from recurring monthly donations. This consistent support allows the ministry to plan effectively each month and implement a broader annual strategy to strengthen its programs.
Encouraging Spiritual Growth
Giving not only sustains the ministry but also fosters spiritual growth in the giver. Scripture teaches that generosity is an act of worship and obedience, deepening one’s connection with God. Individual donors experience the joy of partnering in ministry, witnessing firsthand how their contributions change lives and advance the Kingdom of God. When one person gives, they often inspire others to do the same. Testimonies of transformed lives and successful Crossroads programs create a ripple effect, encouraging further generosity.
The role of individual donors in this ministry cannot be overstated. Your generosity sustains daily operations, connects incarcerated people with mentors, fosters spiritual growth, and inspires others to give. Every contribution—big or small—makes a lasting impact, furthering the mission of sharing the Gospel and transforming lives, both inside and outside prison walls.
