Participate in our Sponsorship Fundraiser

2026 Medical Missions Trip to Kenya

In July, our missions team will be leading a medical clinic, a pastors’ conference, and a women’s conference in the Baringo and Elgeyo Marakwet counties of Kenya, meeting both physical and spiritual needs in powerful ways. You may not be on the plane, but you can still be part of the mission!

Starting Sunday, April 19, through Sunday May 3, the wall in the upstairs Gathering Place will be filled with sponsorship gift bags. Every gift bag represents something real: a patient cared for, a pastor encouraged, a woman empowered, a community impacted. Whether you’re able to give a little or a lot, your contribution becomes part of something bigger than any one of us.

A single gift can help place a doctor or nurse in a clinic, provide life-giving medicine, equip pastors with resources, or open the door for a woman to experience encouragement, community, and the love of Jesus. And what’s incredible is just how far your generosity can go! For example:

  • $8 for a workbook of resources

  • $12 to pay for 1 local nurse for 1 day of medical clinic

  • $20 to sponsor attendance for 1 woman to attend a spiritual conference

  • $30 to sponsor 1 pastor to attend 1 day of a professional conference

 

We are sending a missions team to Kenya for a medical missions trip in Summer 2026! Our team is comprised of individuals who can help us meet medical needs (medical background), those who can participate in spiritual ministries, and those who will provide general assistance.

Kenyaluk Medical Foundation is a 501(C)3 nonprofit founded by Crossroads members, Wilfred & Linet Kandie. The mission of the foundation is to provide quality healthcare and promote well-being in underserved communities in Kenya. The primary goal of this medical mission is to provide free health check-ups and essential medical services to the communities with limited healthcare access in Baringo and Elgeyo Marakwet counties of Kenya.

  • July 13-27, 2026, including travel to/from Dulles International Airport

  • Our team will be hosting a medical clinic that will include general medical services and health education, as well as a women’s spiritual conference, and a pastors’ conference for local clergy.

Prior to the trip, the missions team has met regularly, learning about Kenyan culture and language, as well as planned fundraising for medical supplies and other resources.

Stitching Together: Sewing Ministry

Since 2016, the Stitching Together Sewing Ministry have sewn 6,810 dresses from donated materials and sent them around the world to girls (toddlers to teenagers) in areas at risk of human trafficking. A homemade dress helps a child look as if she belongs to a family. Dresses have been distributed through schools, churches, and medical ships in Peru, Curaçao, Paraguay, Guatemala, Dominican Republic, Latvia, Haiti, Philippines, Costa Rica, and Congo.

The group meets at Crossroads the 2nd & 4th Thursday of the month from 10:00am - 12:00pm in room 107. Sew at home or join in person on Thursdays for a great time sewing and sowing God’s love.

 

Not a sewer? The Stitching Together group could also use help in the following areas:

  • Ironing

  • Assembling dress kits for sewing at home

  • Boxing, mailing, and delivery

  • Donations to defray cost of extra supplies and shipping boxes.

Nazarene Missions International &
Faith Promise Giving

 

WHAT IS FAITH PROMISE GIVING?

The Church of the Nazarene acknowledges that “Faith Promise Giving” is a biblical method used by many local churches for raising financial support for world evangelization. A Faith Promise is a love gift to God, to be given beyond tithe. In our denomination, it is dedicated specifically to the World Evangelism Fund, which distributes to missions promoted by Nazarene Missions International (NMI), such as Alabaster, World Mission Broadcast, Nazarene Compassionate Ministries, and more. This centralized oversight ensures long-term support, sustainability, and significant accountability for:

  • 700+ missionaries in 160+ countries

  • Literature in 90+ languages for church, pastors, and schools

  • New church plants

  • Nazarene Compassionate Ministries

  • The JESUS Film - Harvest Partners

Generous giving to Faith Promise also enables us to impact the lives of people in the Metro Baltimore area and throughout our region. When you financially partner with Crossroads, you partner with all the local non-profits listed below. We come alongside these and other established partners who are already doing good and support them in their work. Some examples:
