Beautiful Feet - The Crossroads Crew

"Some beautiful feet after a long hard day of sharing the love of Christ."

"And how will anyone go and tell them without being sent? That is why the Scriptures say, “How beautiful are the feet of messengers who bring good news!” Romans 10:14-16

This past week the Crossroads Student Ministry of Skyline Church journeyed west to Galveston, TX on a "Mission From God".  The Crossroads Ministry is compromised mostly of teen aged students from our church and a few sprinkled in from churches around the area.  Their heart is to serve....PERIOD!  Don't get me wrong, they do plenty of really cool things just for fun and for the sake of craziness just as any student ministry does, but this group of young men and women have it figured out.

I am thankful for the leadership of David and Joanie Ranz (as well as the other adult volunteers that help out along the way).  They have helped to instill a heart for others in the lives of those they serve.

They have been involved in so many different initiatives to help under-served people and para-church organizations and have truly shown a glimpse of what it means to be the hands and feet of God.  This particular trip was laden with trial after trial...setback after setback.  The beautiful part is that the Crossroads Crew did not allow any of this to stand in their way of sharing the love of Christ and His Gospel.  From van trouble to long layovers, Satan tried everything in his power to stop the Crossroads train to no avail.

I have alway and will always believe this statement, "Satan attacks those the most, whom he fears the most."  He was definitely scared of this rag-tag group of soldiers, but God gave them victory regardless.

I am glad their trip was fruitful for the Kingdom.  I am glad they stood firm in their mission.  I am glad they made it home safe and sound.  And I am glad they are part of Skyline Church.

Your challenge (Skyline Church) is to let them know how much this ministry of our church family means to you.  They are the future of this world, they are the future of this country, and they are the future of our faith.  The future looks bright from my perspective.  I love you guys and am proud of what you do!!!  Your feet truly are BEAUTIFUL!!!
