PURPOSE
Way of the Cross seeks to show the compassion of JESUS to the poor, needy and the afflicted by the sharing of food, clothing, medicine and medical supplies as God provides.
Way of the Cross seeks to serve as a means through which churches may work together in missionary activities, may direct their missionary funds, and may refer those of their people who are called into missionary service.
CHARACTER
SHORT TERM MISSIONARY TRIPS
The most common response we hear from those who have chosen to come and be involved in the work is “We have never been closer to the Lord, prayed so much, worked so hard, been so tired and been as blessed as we have during the time we have been at Way of the Cross. It has changed our lives we will never be the same.” We hope you will take time to pray about coming as an individual or as part of a group to be a part of all the exciting things that the Lord is doing here at the ministry
ORGANIZATION
There may also be an Advisory Board of undetermined number, selected by the Board of Directors, the members of which shall have the privilege of attendance at the annual Board meeting, information, fellowship, and discussion at such meetings but no voting privilege.
Way of the Cross Ministries is located in the Rio Grand Valley; it is as far south as you can go before leaving the United States. The Rio Grande Valley encompasses both sides of the United States and the Mexican border. It is home to upwards of 2 1/2 million people. It is known for having two of the poorest counties in the United States. Low wages high unemployment and below average median income is a way of life. It is also know for a rapidly growing population along the Mexican side. We are just 5 hours southeast of San Antonio and 6 hours southwest of Houston. Unique describes the area in which Way of the Cross operates.
The opportunities for a greater harvest have never been better. For years many seeds have been planted by many thousands of short term missionaries who have come and invested their time, sweat, finances and gone home, continued to pray and support the Lord’s work. One of greatest needs is for others to come and join us here in all the exciting things that the Lord is doing here at Way of the Cross Ministries.
