Nonprofits are changing the world for the better. Although there are those in this world that bring negativity and harm, there are those that are making the world a better place. The problem is that we are constantly delivered negative media and stories about what's going wrong in the world. This isn't going to solve any problems. The Missions That Made Them podcast is a platform to bring awareness to organizations and people that are actively changing the world for the better. It's intended to inspire you to become part of a solution that's making the world a better place.

Strengthening a Community in Need (The Community Crossing)

Learn more about The Community Cross by visiting https://www.ccxwv.org.

The Community Cross is on a local mission, with a long-term commitment to McDowell County. This county has serious challenges and they are there to address these needs (see the February 2015 PBS special “The First 1000 Days” for a poignant portrayal of young children in our community). The Community Crossing is staffed by residents of McDowell County. They interact daily with the community there, raise their children here, and understand the needs there better than well-meaning agencies and ministries that are based outside the county. They can thoughtfully provide the right help to those who need it most.

Young families are served by their in-home education program Parents as Teachers (PAT), who also benefit from their partner YouthWork's Home Repair Ministry. Their youth athletic programs (Mac Center) directly impact the lives of youth in our county to encourage growth into strong, confident adults. Each facet of their ministry includes inviting all into our Missional Communities and discipling relationships.
