My Crossover story begins in early 2021, with an introduction to Justin Pickard, the Executive Director of Crossover Community Impact. I had been meeting with my mentor, Mike Sares, in Colorado about finding where I “fit” in ministry. We had only been meeting a month before I was told about the job opening at Crossover Development Company. It seems God moved fast once I had accepted the call to do his work. I was excited to hear from Justin, all that God was doing through the ministry, the plans for the Crossover Community Center and all of the other ways Crossover is serving the community. I finally felt a landing spot to do ministry after years of trying to figure out how God could possibly use me.
My family and I made the trek from Colorado to Tulsa, and we haven’t looked back! We have been so blessed to be a part of the Crossover family. Our boys are fortunate enough to attend Crossover Prep, and they are loving it. The emphasis put on studying God’s word as well as having mature Christians in positions of leadership has been so great. Our Mentors at Crossover Development Company teach and guide us every day, offering wisdom along with an amazing crew of men and women with touching stories of how the Lord has worked in their lives. I am really honored to be a part of the process of not only restoring homes in the Hawthorne community, but to see and experience the restoration and growth in my life and in the lives of those I work with. We have shared many heartfelt moments as we read God’s word at the start of every workday. I really can’t imagine not being here and not meeting all of these amazing people in the Crossover world. While being here, the Lord has already been at work on my heart, and He has been helping me to be the servant he designed me to be.
I am excited to see where we are headed and the lives that will be impacted along the way. The development company is young and growing, and I am excited to use what God has given and taught me to best serve the community we live in.
