CROSSROADS MISSIONS - MEXICO

Judy has been a living link missionary of Northside Christian Church for 31 years. Carlos and Judy have two children Cindy and Laura. Cindy and her husband Mario live in Louisville, KY and Laura lives in Piedras Negras. They have lived and ministered  in Piedras Negras Mexico since 1992. 

For many years she has helped to start and directed 3 Christian schools in the city. They currently run between 500-700 students each. 

Judy is now the field director for the CrossRoads Mexico team. Crossroads has been building affordable homes for christian families since 1991. This year we completed house #36.  

Judy's team also works with the immigrant population coming through our border city by providing shelter, food, friendship and a church family!  1000s of people from all over the world have stayed at Carlos’ “ranch” over the last couple of years. By the time they make it to us they are completely exhausted and often sick. There are families that are only with us for a few days but others stay for months and we are able to minister to them in a very special way. God connects us to people who need us the most and because of Northside we are able to meet many of their basic needs. 

This year, CrossRoads started an English school and our interns help us teach. Judy has always loved teaching children and now really enjoy teaching adults. 

Crossroads partners with Bethany Christian Church that ministers to local families as well as to the very transient community of immigrants. They also partner with Casa de Paz, a children’s home in our city. 

MUSHAYAMUNDA CHRISTIAN FOUNDATION

Mushayamunda Christian Foundation was formed in early 2000 by the Mushayamunda Brothers and their families, Dereck (Yvonne), Dennis (Girlie) and to serve the people of Matsai area in Bikita, Zimbabwe. The brothers were inspired to start the organization in honor of their late parents Tangston (Matangira) and Sipelile (Mai Lee) who loved the people and who were faithful servants to the people of Matsai.

MCF seeks to partner with like minded people and churches/organizations to create inspired serving opportunities directed towards disadvantaged communities, especially orphans and widows whose life processes have been changed by the prevalence of AIDS and poverty in Zimbabwe. For a few dollars a day you can support life changing ministry efforts towards orphaned children, support the availability of clean drinking water, augment food availability by developing irrigation/gardening projects, buying basic food stuff to feed the hungry while carrying out the great commission as envisaged in Mathew 28.

TEAM EXPANSION - VENEZUELA

Jorge and Diana are missionaries with Teamexpansion that exists to multiply disciples and churches among the unreached, with more than 13 years of experience in Venezuela. Jorge was born and raised in Venezuela and Diana was born and raised on the mission field and is part of a great legacy of missionaries in her family. They have two sons Joshua and jacob. After Jorge graduated from Cincinnati Christian University in 2006 he joined a team of missionaries in Caracas that planted 41 churches until now. 

 The Lugo’s are mentors who oversee the national pastors and leaders. Jorge is also one of the pastors at the Iglesia eternidad in Caracas. 

 Political turmoil and social unrest has destabilized a country that was once a leader in technology, education and economic wealth in South America. Today Venezuelans are among the poorest people in the world as the monthly minimum wage has dropped from nearly $ 300 a month to only $ 1. The 24,000% inflation this last year alone has crippled the economy and devastated the middle and lower class. This has led to a mass exodus of families leaving the country to find answers elsewhere. The church has also lost a significant amount of members and leaders in this migration. Those who have stayed are struggling to survive as the quality of life has deteriorated to its lowest in modern history. The rate of malnutrition and diseases have skyrocketed to epidemic levels as a growing number of the population don’t have access to basic needs like food, medicine and running water. The elderly and the young kids are the most affected. We have found the need to broaden our ministry to include social needs and crisis relief as we serve as the middlemen to provide basic food, medicine and emergency relief to the local church. Individuals and organizations have joined up to help Venezuela survive this crisis by donating funds and goods to help out.
