Crossroads Ministries is one of the Christian based groups that came into our local community last year to help repair and rebuild after the tornado.
Crossroads coordinates with various churches across the nation to bring workers into areas that are in need after disasters. It is estimated that last year they provided what would have cost over $300,000.00 in labor to our area. Dylan McGowan serves as the local contact for the Ministry.
