Welcome to CrossCurrents!
It’s a statistic I can’t get away from….it literally has changed the direction of my ministry. Confirmed as recently as 2006 by the Barna Research Group, it defines a need that is too important to ignore. The numbers say that when a child leads the way in commitment to Christ & His church, you may only reach 3.5% of their families. When a women leads the way in this commitment, you will reach 17% of their families But, when a MAN leads the way in commitment to Christ and His church, you reach 93% of their families!
It’s an astounding number! When you reach men, you reach their wives, kids, grandkids, and who knows…… Don’t get me wrong, I’m all for children’s ministries, youth ministries, women’s ministries, senior’s ministries, and the rest! But I’ve discovered firsthand the truth behind the statistics…..when I invest my time in reaching out to men and getting them involved in the ministry of the church, the families usually come right along with them!!
Therefore, CrossCurrents is designed to minister to real men who need a real God! Whether you get involved in one of our activities, small groups, retreats, men’s classes, or service projects, we believe you’ll find a place to rub shoulders with other guys just like you who are “in process” of becoming the men God wants them to be. The Bible says, “As iron sharpens iron, so one man sharpens another” Proverbs 27:17. I invite you to get involved with the ministry of CrossCurrents and join us on this quest for authentic manhood!
Yours for the Journey,
Larry R. Whittlesey
