Donate Now! Pastor Ryan and his family arrived in Arizona on June 30, 2025.  They are settling into Lalim’s home while Cheri and Don enjoy time in South Dakota.  His first day at Crossroads will be Sunday, July 20. Please add Pastor Ryan and his family to your prayers for the following prayer requests: 1.  Bonnie finds a job that she enjoys. 2.  Their children, Moses, Juniper and Simon, become acclimated to their new schools and make new and lasting friendships. 3.  The family adjusts to the AZ temps and stay safe thru unpacking and settling into their temporary home. I hope that all of you have a wonderful fourth of July weekend.  May we all recognize and appreciate the freedoms found in our country and thank all those who made it possible.  Happy Fourth Of July!!  Stay Safe!
