Cross Fire Makes An Impact in West Africa
The Birth of a New Church
by Dan Bredberg
WOW! What an
amazing day of ministry in the name of Jesus Christ our Lord! I have never
experienced the power of the Holy Spirit in such a way as I did today. The
"Main Event" of the day was our visit to Fongbe Village.
This was a
village that Kodjo (our friend/Pastor/Contact) knew had long been rejecting the
church. They had even burnt down previous buildings that people had set up as
churches, largely because the chief of the village was very anti-Christian. Today,
however, we were welcomed into the village by the Chief. After he told us about
the difficulties they had been experiencing—such as bad water, sickness, poor
roads for trade—he said that we could go ahead and present our
"program" for the people who were in the Town Center.

Check out excerpts from their Online Journal!
by Captive Free South East
“As Micheal Tait
(of DC Talk) said to us when we saw him live at a Christian bookstore in
Nashville, 'we all have struggles in our lives, we all have our own change
of seasons. But no matter what happens God will always be there for us.' As
a team we saw a perfect example of this when we visited a girls home this past
month. At this home there were many girls who experienced many struggles in
life, from using drugs, to eating disorders, to pregnancy. By being in this
home they were trying to overcome those struggles with God's help.

A Day in the Life...
by Captive Free North West
“For the past
two nights we have been in Eugene, OR. On our second night here we ran the
Wednesday night youth group at the church. Three of the local church youth
groups all meet together to make a group of about 20 kids. We had an amazing
time with them, singing, playing games and doing a Bible study about friends.
I have been
impressed this entire year by the youth of today. I wish I would have had the
knowledge and the faith that these kids already have when I was growing up. I
have been very blessed at seeing these youth and being a part in strengthening
their faith.
