Be Faithful! 📖🗺️

1 Corinthians 15:58 “Therefore, my beloved brethren, be ye stedfast, unmoveable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know that your labour is not in vain in the Lord.”

Adoniram Judson (1788–1850) was one of the first American missionaries to Burma, enduring years of hardship, imprisonment, and loss for the sake of the Gospel. After initially intending to serve Christ in India, Judson and his wife Ann, set sail for Burma.

The work was painfully slow—six years passed before the first convert—but Judson remained steadfast, laboring to translate the Bible and share Christ in a deeply Buddhist land. His greatest trial came when he was imprisoned for 17 brutal months, enduring torture and near starvation, while Ann fought tirelessly for his survival. Shortly after his release, she and their infant daughter died, leaving Judson broken, yet he pressed on, completing the Burmese Bible—a work that would shape the nation’s faith for generations.

By his death in 1850, Judson had planted over 100 churches with 8,000 believers, proving that faithful endurance bears eternal fruit. His life exemplifies Galatians 6:9 “And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not.”Though suffering marked his journey, God used his obedience to transform an entire people. His story reminds us that, no matter the cost, faithfulness to God’s call is never in vain.

Disaster Relief

The Eaton fire devastated Altadena, Pasadena, and the surrounding areas. Many homes were destroyed and families displaced. Crosspoint has been blessed to serve our community by distributing waters, delivering air purifiers, giving clothes, as well as providing gift cards and some financial assistance.

We now have the opportunity to partner with Samaritan's Purse to help families clean their homes and search for personal items on properties that burned. If you would like to be a part of this effort, go to spvolunteer.org or call 626-808-6653.

Mark your calendar! 🗓

Exciting things are coming to Crosspoint! See below for several of these opportunities to serve and grow together. Be sure to save the dates and be a part.
