CrossStreets

CrossStreets will give you the opportunity to serve and share Christ's love with the poor, the homeless and the afflicted. It's a very powerful ministry in a very friendly and casual setting.

We bring food, clothing and friendship. Like Jesus, our goal is to meet the physical needs, which opens the door to meet the spiritual needs. We share our lives, our faith, build friendships, pray, and love and encourage them to take the step of faith into a relationship with Jesus Christ. As we serve, the open hearts and joy expressed is a blessing you will never forget.

• CrossStreets @ Midnight (normally on the First and Third Friday Nights) Meet in Room A2 by 8:00 PM. We travel in a caravan to numerous locations between San Leandro and downtown Oakland to bring the light of God's love into the darkness of the night. We serve 75 meals and bring prayer, hope and encouragement to people living on the streets. Jackets, sweaters, pants, socks, blankets and whatever we have are offered to those in need. Spanish speakers are always needed. Dress warmly and bring a flashlight and shoes suitable for walking off-road. The return time to Castro Valley is about 1:30 AM.
