Elly talks to John Miller from Crossfire Ministries. Crossfire is a no-cost grocery warehouse that reflects God’s love amid life’s tight places. You shop for the food, clothing and toiletries your family needs.

John says, “We wanted Crossfire to be an easily accessible way for people to take advantage of our services and to share the love and life available in Jesus. The fact that it comes through an incredible group of volunteers makes this ministry even more effective. We are seeing love break chains that hold people back.”

Matthew 25:31-46 spells it out.

How do you help a family that's living on less than $2.00 a day? It will do your soul good to hear the voices of some of the people (who God created and loves very much, just like you) that are being helped by OneChild, which serves over 40,000 children in 14 countries with 300 Hope Centers.
