How You Can Help

Invite your church to sponsor a service

Interested churches will provide a musician(s) to lead our musical time, a Pastor to bring a message of God's good news, a meal for the attendees, and a team to help organize, serve, and clean up following the meal. For a detailed explanation of what to expect, please read our Exploring Partnership document HERE.

Contact us to sign up at 402-332-7935.

Become an At-Large Sponsor

At-Large sponsors are individuals with no personal interest in any particular incarcerated individual and who are not involved in providing services or activities to the facility. At-large sponsors may be matched with an individual or requested to provide services for a specific program or organization, such as attendance at Crossroads Connections worship. Crossroads is required to have a certain number of at-large sponsors present throughout all phases of our worship evening, from sign-out at the center and transportation to/from the entire worship and fellowship meal. This is a vital way you can help Crossroad in its kingdom mission.

All approved community sponsors are required to attend an orientation at the Community Corrections Center in Omaha. Please call the center at 402.595.2010 to learn when the next orientation is scheduled.

To apply, fill out this application (on page 18, please write "At-Large sponsor" on Full Name of Inmate line) and return by mail to the Omaha facility or drop the application off at the facility at 2323 Avenue J. Omaha, NE 68110-2766All forms must be completed for your applications to be processed. For questions, please contact the facility. Once you are approved, please let us know, and we will activate you for a future Crossroads service.

Become a Transportation Sponsor

Transportation for our attendees to and from the service is critical to our mission. Individuals interested in becoming a Transportation Sponsor must have a clean driving record and complete a 2-hour yearly training at the Community Corrections Center-Omaha before being approved to drive attendees from the center to the church site. This training is scheduled on the 2nd and 4th Wednesdays of the month and is on a first-come, first-served basis. Please plan to arrive early and dress in business casual attire. Once approved, let us know, and we will discuss dates for your assistance with transportation. If you have a CDL, we invite you to drive our bus; if not, please drive your own vehicle.

Give

Donations go towards purchasing our meals, transporting our attendees, and supporting our various other programs. You can also donate directly to an educational scholarship fund.

Prayer

We ask that you pray for the men at Community Corrections Center-Omaha. Pray for their families, for good health, for good job placement, for safe housing, and for openness to hearing the Good News of Jesus. We ask that you remember us as we coordinate local churches to fulfill our mission of connecting more congregations with the men of CCC-O. We ask you to pray for our continuing partners and for new partners to come alongside Crossroads, that they continue to be filled with the Holy Spirit and for their own ministries to flourish. Finally, we ask you to pray that the Word of God would be preached boldly and that lives would be transformed among those who join us in worship.
