Purpose
Cross to Light is a non-denominational Christian 501c3 organization that has provided biblical education and emergency relief since 2005.
Our emergency relief efforts endeavor to help alleviate human suffering. Our programs deliver free food, water, clothing, and medical assistance to everyone in need in a community.
“Is this not the fast that I have chosen:
To loose the bonds of wickedness,
To undo the heavy burdens,
To let the oppressed go free,
And that you break every yoke?
Is it not to share your bread with the hungry,
And that you bring to your house the poor who are cast out;
When you see the naked, that you cover him,
And not hide yourself from your own flesh?
Then your light shall break forth like the morning,
Your healing shall spring forth speedily,
And your righteousness shall go before you;
The glory of the Lord shall be your rear guard.
Isaiah 58:6-8
Programs – Education
Cross to Light delivers biblical education and leadership training. We encourage the local church with event and outreach support and mobilize and facilitate teams for mission trips and community service.
Programs – Emergency Relief
Cross to Light imports and distributes emergency relief to Haiti. We are one of the only NGOs approved in Haiti with full clearance for our emergency relief program.
Emergency relief includes food, water, clothing, medical and dental assistance. Our distribution center is in Port au Prince, with 11 community centers in Haiti. Each community center receives emergency supplies and distributes them to those most in need in each community.
Eighty-four thousand pounds of food are imported and distributed each year. Approximately 8,800 people receive food and clean drinking water weekly from our emergency relief efforts. These people would otherwise not have any way to get food or water.
Haiti Bible Training Center: The Haiti Bible Training Center is used to bring in young men from different provinces of Haiti to build them up in the Word of God, teaching them through the bible to send them back out to plant churches to provide bible teaching discipleship. The core purpose of each church is to disciple and teach the Word of God to the community. At the church community centers, in addition to the bible teaching and discipleship, we endeavor to install water solutions, provide medical supplies and assistance and distribute relief aid – all free of cost to the Haitian people.
The Missionary Training Center (MTC) is the Cross to Light campus that accommodates volunteer teams, constructs support projects, and conducts conference events and special training workshops. Outreach events such as VBS, orphanage visits, prison outreach, soccer events, water projects, and medical day clinics are all conducted outside this campus. The MTC also serves as a base for emergency relief imported and prepared for distribution.
Support Israel Bible Tour: This annual bible tour hosted by Cross to Light brings a group to tour and serve in Israel. The tour group helps the people of Israel by serving at soup kitchens, food pantries, homeless park outreaches, and helping the holocaust survivors.
