I stumbled upon this video of Ben Zobrist of the Tampa Bay Rays. As a baseball fan, I love to see athletes who live out what they say they believe and who want to use their talents and abilities to share the love of Jesus.
Check out this video of Ben’s story.
And for the record, I LOVE the Yankees, but I really do like the Rays too… you see, since they are in the same division that means I have twice the opportunity to watch them whoop up on the Boston Red Sox. It’s a WIN-WIN situation for me.

In February we kicked off our Outreach Season by partnering with Love Your Neighbor to help a family who was in serious need of home repairs and who’s home exterior needed some TLC.

I’ve recently started reading Chris’ blog at dewde.com he has a very unique perspective that I found refreshing, but it’s his story. His personal story that touched me.

This year at Crosspoint, we’re proud to say that 80% of our Christmas Offering will be going to ministries and organizations that are outside of our community. You can find out more at ChristmasOffering.com. One of the organizations we’re working with is Water of Life.
Water of Life is an organization dedicated to providing access to clean water to those in need while offering the message of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. A non-profit organization based in Greenville, South Carolina, WOL has been sending mission teams around the world into different countries for years.
We will be adopting the village of Boiwalah in Liberia, Africa. The money we raise will be used to build a well that feeds into Boiwalah and 3 other villages.

This post is a re-visit to my 5,000th Twitter post earlier in the year. I’ve updated it with another moving video that I just saw. That video is down below. Take a few minutes to watch, pray, and consider what you will do.
James 1:27 says:
“Pure and genuine religion in the sight of God the Father means caring for orphans and widows in their distress and refusing to let the world corrupt you.”
There are a lot of causes out there, but Tina and I have a big heart for the children that are hurting in this world.
Compassion International is an organization and mission that we greatly believe in here at the Cordova house.
Compassion International exists as a Christian child advocacy ministry that releases children from spiritual, economic, social and physical poverty and enables them to become responsible, fulfilled Christian adults.
Founded by the Rev. Everett Swanson in 1952, Compassion began providing Korean War orphans with food, shelter, education and health care, as well as Christian training.
Today, Compassion helps more than 1 million children in 25 countries.
Meet Rafonzel. I first heard about this extraordinary young woman when I took a group of students from Crosspoint to a Student Life camp in Daytona beach. Her story touched me, and changed my life. Watch these videos and you’ll see why…
These are the kids that Tina and I sponsor:


This is Exvin and Lovely Rose. We’ve never met this kids before but we love them and pray for them on a regular basis. It’s amazing to think that a simple $64 a month has help clothes, feed, and educate them over the last few years. We love receiving their letters in the mail and we love to send them notes of encouragement as well. They have been a LARGE blessing in our lives.
So, I just wanted to post, and draw attention to this incredible organization and ask you, would you please consider sponsoring a child?

Here’s the newest video that moved me to repost this blog post from another blog I used to run.

In just a few weeks we’ll be celebrating 3-years of serving Spring Hill at Crosspoint. It’s hard to believe it’s been 3! Somedays it feels like a short bit of time and some days I feel like I’ve been doing this forever… the truth is however, there is NOTHING like. And there’s no where else I’d rather be!
