All the believers were together and had everything in common. – Acts 2:44
Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress and to keep oneself from being polluted by the world. - James 1:27
With these verses in mind, we push for all the unmet needs at Crossroads to be met by people at Crossroads.
The goal is that the...

Calling All Burly Men (and women)
Grand Rapids has a significant population that lives homeless outdoors during the winter. One of the areas that they stay is called a “camp”. This homeless camp uses a significant amount of firewood during the winter. We want to help supply them with firewood this winter. This Saturday, September 18, we are meeting at Pastor Greg’s house to cut and haul firewood from his woods. Meet at 8:30am...

There are several projects that she doesn’t have...

Due to its urban...
Comments Added
Realtime connecting through Facebook seems like a big hit. One of the reasons why is the ease with which you can add comments. But many of you have mentioned that you don’t have Facebook and don’t want to have to get it. So… pow… we added comments to the website. The only thing we ask is that you have a valid e-mail account so you can’t say all sorts of bad things...
Jobs
One of the most common requests for Realtime is to help find a job. The economy in Michigan stinks right now and jobs are hard to come by.
We don’t have the resources to find jobs, but what we CAN do is give you a venue to post your contact information and/or a link to your online resume. Then we can encourage potential employers to look through these postings. It might be a longshot, but...
Housing
One of the most common requests for Realtime is for housing. Inexpensive or free housing is extremely difficult to find. But one thing we can do is provide a central location for housing needs and housing offerings. If you have a need or if you have something to offer, use the comment box to explain the details. Happy hunting!
Laptop Needed
There is a ministry at Crossroads called “Avenue for Men.” It is a support and recovery group for people dealing with sexual sin. It has only been in existence for one year, and it is already developing into two groups with a new one possibly starting at Calvary Church.
What a crucial ministry! Avenue is in need of a laptop to keep track of administrative details. It would be awesome...
Classroom Volunteer Needed
A teacher in the GRPS school system is in great need of some help in the classroom. This is a very difficult class and the teacher is looking for someone to come in through the end of the year. This would be on a volunteer basis - as many hours as you could - full time or part time. Whoever is interested would need to go through a background check with GRPS. This is a GREAT opportunity for some...

What Is Realtime?
Simple. It is us being the Kingdom right now.
I Corinthians 4:20 says that, “the kingdom of God is not a matter of talk but of power.” Our grand schemes for what we might do for God some day don’t matter nearly as much as our entering into God’s kingdom work right now. Our past failures don’t matter either. How are you furthering the kingdom now… in the next minutes…...
