Crossroads Family Ministries gave 2 $500.00 scholarships away in May, 2025. An anonymous donor gave Crossroads this $1000 gift with the intention of giving the ministry the opportunity to encourage the youth in our community with Pro-Life values and honoring healthy relationships. The pool of young teens in which we chose came from our annual Teen Girls’ Retreat and our annual Young Men’s Advance. These weekend events have the purpose of inspiring our youth to strengthen their relationship with the Lord and have healthy, Godly relationships with others. Cornerstone Academy of the Ozarks High School Senior, Seth Spencer and Homeschool High School Senior, Estella Fisher were the recipients of the first of hopefully many more, Crossroads Family Ministries Pro Life Scholarships. These 2 teens exemplify the Pro-Life qualities Crossroads wants to encourage in our community. Both teens wrote an essay on why they are pro-life and also had an interview process. The standard is definitely set at a high level with these 2 being the first to receive this award. The Crossroads Board of Directors wishes both a grand future of honoring God with their lives, values, and resources.

2025 Thrift 4 Life Customer Appreciation Event

Crossroads Teen Weekend Retreats/Advances Purpose: To invest in the youth of our community by instilling Biblical values regarding purity. The emphasis will be on the gospel since we know this is the root to all sanctification. Model for these events: Gospel presentation, Biblical teaching on salvation and sanctification with an emphasis on sexual purity, and providing an environment to form lasting relationships encouraging one another in their relationship with the Lord. Teen Girls Retreat consist of women leaders teaching the young women Biblical Womanhood. Teaching them to be reverent, have self-control, be pure, and show humility. (Titus 2:3-5) Teen Boys Advance consist of men teaching the young men Biblical Manhood. Teaching them to have courage, integrity, self-control, respect, loyalty, and humility (Titus 2:1-2) We have especially seen the need for this teaching due to the crisis of Manhood in our nation. Our goal is to teach these young men to be Godly MEN. Sanctity of Human Life will also be a topic discussed at these events with a scholarship opportunity each year for 1 boy and 1 girl. The scholarships will be given to a recipient that expresses strong pro-life values and sees the importance of their boldness on the Sanctity of Life.
