Crossing Bridges, Inc.
Crossing Bridges seeks to
affiliate with indigenous ministries to help prepare Christians for
leadership roles in churches and para-church organizations so that they
may effectively bring light and hope to people in need through
evangelism, discipleship, and promoting social justice. our desire is
that the Christian Church become a model of inclusiveness where people,
disabled and able-bodied, experience an atmosphere of belonging as the
minister to and with one another.

to my holy mountain and give them joy in my house of prayer. They will
