Our women's ministry has many outreaches and
below are some that we are involved in.

Breast Cancer Survivor Outreach

Jude Thaut, Bridgeport, Washington
I hope to be able to help another cancer survivor. I had Mucosa Carcinoma. It was 3.2 centimeters. I had a biopsy that came back positive for cancer. I had a mastectomy, and my lymph nodes removed on December 12th, 2005, and have healed pretty well. My tumor was caused by the hormone Premarin. I now take an estrogen killer called Arimidex for five years. I kept trying to find someone to talk to. But in my quest, the lord turned it around and I can now be a voice to council cancer patients and rape victims, and let them know that there is hope. May God bless you.

Pastor Brandy has been given the gift to mime, dance and sing as well as acting, portraying the late Kathryn Kuhlman, and Aimee Semple McPherson. She has ministered through out the United States as well as the streets of Jamaica. God has allowed her to mime to Christian songs in places where preaching was prohibited. Once in front of an audience of 1,400 girls standing on balconies and every where as she performed in the middle of the court for a private girl’s school in Jamaica. She travels with her husband, Pastor Danny Scott and ministers alongside him, as well as with BJ Ford, as she ministers in different places. Brandy usually brings a team with her. Lives are touched and changed as she ministers. This is a special outreach. Of For Such A Time As This Women’s Ministries, and a very successful one at that.

Crossroads Ministry Women's Outreach Shelter:

When I was a little girl, I would always watch for the less fortunate children at school and I would always make sure their needs were met in private. Sometimes, I wouldn’t even tell them it was me that left those new shoes, or new clothes or even food on their front porch. I would always give my better things, not the old stuff I was through with. I have always had a heart for children. Sometimes they have no choice of how they have to live and the things they wear or have.

My mother, Pastor Darla Newbold, has inspired me a great deal in caring so much about battered and abused women. Most of the women that have been abused or battered feel like they are worthless. They are just used and abused to the extent that they are not able to speak for themselves. It is as though they don’t have their own life or spirit. There have been many of those women I witnessed growing up, which have been blessed tremendously by meeting my mother. And she was able to help them enter a process of finding the Lord, and finding themselves and most of all having a second chance at life with Jesus Christ as their personal Savior. We have met and ministered to many women, but I hope to follow in my mother’s footsteps, ministering to many, many more.

And those women began, as we have, as little girls. I have seen so many battered and abused little girls, as my mother would also bring those little ones into our home as foster children. I have been blessed to never have experienced what many of them have suffered. But I am willing to open my arms as an extention of my Heavenly Father to help and heal all who are oppressed.

We help at least three days a week in the food and clothing ministry. People do not realize how many people are not able to make ends meet, and how many fall through the cracks. There was one older gentleman that touched my heart that I will never forget. He got ten dollars a month to buy food. The rest of his money was spent on medication and he is one of those that have fallen through the cracks as many others do.

While ministering in all of these different ways, I always make sure to let them know that Jesus loves them no matter where they have been or where they are going. That they are beautiful in God’s eyes. Many, many seeds have been planted in the Crossroads Ministry Outreach Program. We have had many return just to say “Thanks for being there”, when they needed some help in some way. We appreciate all of the love and prayers. Always remember that you are not any better than anyone else, and no one else is better than you!

God Bless,
