This Friday we’ll be broadcasting the four part series “Absolute Truth” which was actually the very first series to follow our current format. We were just one year old in April 2008 when this series last hit the airwaves so it’ll probably be new to most of our listeners this coming week.

Truth doesn’t change.

Meanwhile back at the ranch we’re going to be calling people and organizations we’ve been trying to get the time to contact for a long time now. We’re looking to build some new support, get some new members on our team and honour God from one coast of this fine country right to the other. So listen, if you love what’s happening with TCC then why not give us a hand personally or support us financially?

Thanks for listening!

By now you have likely seen at least some of the horrific news footage of the devastation unfolding in Port-au-Prince, the capital of Haiti, after the city was hit with a 7.0 earthquake. It is estimated that the death toll could be in the tens of thousands.

This afternoon my heart was breaking as I watched a video update of a terrified little girl who was desperately crying for her mother and father as she lay trapped under the wreckage. The reporter made sure to share that sending a Bible through a crack in the rock was one of the first “lifelines” extended. We pray that God will show Himself strong on her behalf.

While we thank God for ALL the relief workers who are sacrificing themselves to help bring various forms of relief and rescue to the Haitian people, I would also humbly draw your attention to one particular missions organization that God has been using powefully in Haiti for a number of years called Mission Possible (MP).

MP President, Kurt Bishop, candidly shares his heart as follows:

“This is a very tragic time for Haiti. Mission Possible is doing everything we can within the limitations of communications and the scale of disaster.”

As local missionaries, it’s times like these that we can feel as helpless as the rest of the world in the wake of disaster. However, with God there is always hope. Please click here to visit and bookmark MP’s site and begin to pray for rescue, relief, and repentance of all those involved with this terrible tragedy.

In Him,

Cory

This brief posting will provide you with strategic points of prayer that we thank you in advance for lifting up to the Lord on our behalf this month.

On Saturday, January 2nd, our core ministry team came together for our annual prayer and planning meeting. More results of the meeting will be reflected here on our online ministry calendar in the weeks to come.  In the meantime, here is where we sense God is leading our ministry in 2010, based on our mission as a ministry.

Here is the mission of TCC:

His Gospel. His Gifts. His Glory.

The Cross Current (TCC) is a local missions ministry and outreach broadcast bringing glory to God’s Name in Canada by unifying His Church in His Gospel and helping pastors equip all Christians under their care to be His witnesses everyday, everywhere, to everyone, as one body serving in accordance with the various gifts He has given each.

Everything we spend our time, talents, and treasures taking part in this year will directly contribute to this mission. Conversely, time is of the essence, and we will not be doing things that fail to contribute directly to this mission.

Our main ministry goals for 2010 are as follows:

1. Prayer as Priority 1
2. Secure Home Base (London)
3. Donor Development (Cross Carriers)
4. Expansion & Exposure
5. The Cross Current Television Program Production
6. Ministry Development
7. Stabilize all things web

Thank you in advance for your prayer support! Please also click here to find out more about praying with and for The Cross Current.

Welcome to our new E-Tools Newsletter! This monthly TCC field report also includes strategic outreach resources to encourage, equip, and empower you to more effectively share the Gospel with all the loved ones in your life as we faithfully serve Christ in Canada together.

“Open Airwaves” Preaching for Christmas!

For His Glory,

The Cross Current Team

The successful candidate for this opportunity will have all of the following qualifications.

They are -

• a born-again Christian,
• self motivated, commited and able to consistently meet deadlines,
• able to consistently dedicate 3-5 hours a week to forwarding the cause of the Gospel of Christ in Canada,
• consistently trainable,
• able to take what they have been taught and run with it,
• have a well maintained, reasonably spec’d computer with a high speed  internet connection,

• willing to make TCC their own ministry and service to the Lord.

If this is you please contact admin@thecrosscurrent.com ASAP. Serious inquires only please.

Our sincerest apologies for the shortage of blog info and updates over the past several weeks! We have been experiencing extreme technical difficulties and have been unable to add any new posts. However, now that the problem has finally been solved, you can expect to experience our newest summertime newsletter here later this week!

Partners in the Gospel,

The Cross Current Team

We were so encouraged by the testimony that came in this week that we had to share it with you!

I was inspired by your witnessing to Hayley last Friday; on Sunday after church, i got picked up by Paratransit, and there was an elderly lady on board and we started talking, and I started to share my faith with her, it felt real natural! I didn’t know it, but before she was dropped off, (at Kingdom Hall), she asked me if I’d heard about Jehovah Witnesses, and of course i had, but have never had one let me talk about MY faith before!! I hope you will continue with live on air witnessing beyond August, because I have really gained some insight on how to talk to people, God bless you all! ~ Donna Feica | London, Ontario

I spoke personally with Donna and she humbly told me that she was absolutely TERRIFIED to step out of her comfort zone to share Christ with this young lady. Well, we thank God for your testimony, Donna! We also thank you for allowing us to share it with others…pass it along!:)
