Fernando's coworkers were afraid drugs and alcohol would kill him. His wife and daughters wanted nothing to do with him. Today, he's welcome at home again.
This year-end season, we're praying for
Meet Fernando.
When Fernando came to CrossRoads, he was a broken man. His coworkers were afraid his drinking and drug use would put him in the grave.
He carried deep trauma from his childhood. As a young man, he got caught up in gangs, drugs, and violence. His wife and teenage daughters wanted nothing to do with him.
But God did.
Fernando wasn't sure anything could help. He decided to give God a chance.
"Today I have a better relationship with my family and daughters, but God comes first. I give all the praise and honor and all the glory to the Almighty."
–Fernando
This year-round work is possible because of our Chain Breakers. They're the friends who faithfully give a set amount every month. Those regular gifts keep the Men's House open, put meals on the table, and let our staff be present for the right man at the right moment.
Real change at CrossRoads doesn't happen in a single moment. It happens over a full year of mornings in the Word, honest talks around the dinner table, and hard days of work, with brothers in Christ holding each other up every step of the way.
Today, Fernando is willing to do whatever God asks of him. He serves the other men with a humble heart, and they notice.
His family invited him back into their lives, and he was there to celebrate his oldest daughter's high school graduation.
Last year, 10 new Chain Breakers joined us. This year, we’re praying for
$2,000 in monthly giving
by December 31.
Would you be one of them?
Every gift helps. If a monthly gift isn’t right for you, a one-time, year-end gift still helps us prepare well for our 2027 residents.
More men like Fernando are waiting for a chance at what CrossRoads provides. Thank you for helping them find lasting freedom and begin a life of true transformation.
