The First Christian Church in Princeton was the site of the “Help Build Hope” project provided by the Crossroads Missions Ministry.
The group of around 90 people representing three churches in the Cincinnati area arrived last Saturday and are staying at the Southside Baptist Church while they are working toward tornado rebuilding in our community.
Dylan McGowan has been serving as a local representative for Crossroads Ministry since April. He explains that through their work they are showing people that God loves them. He says they provide labor for the project but no materials.

Noah who works in remodeling said it was his first trip and his entire working crew took the week off and came to work together here to help people they never knew. He said this was different because it was actual hammer and nails instead of the equipment they usually use.
