Why is Crossroad
Successful?
by H. David Schuringa
When people asked me about the reasons for the
success of CBI, I had always answered that God was
richly blessing the incredible work of our volunteers,
staff and board. Today, I know that this is only part
of the truth. I’ve recently learned a more complete
answer to the question.
A pastor-friend of mine from Kalamazoo recommended the book Oneness Embraced by Dr. Tony Evans. I
devoured it. The thesis of Evans’ book is that to accomplish the mission to which God has called the church,
we need to follow God’s kingdom agenda.
What is God’s kingdom agenda? According to Evans,
the agenda contains two vital components needed to
carry out the Great Commission to make disciples of
the nations.

First, the church needs to work together. That means
we must tear down our silos and learn how to work
across all denominational lines. This doesn’t imply
that we should abandon our denominational distinctives. But we need to find ways to work together,
because only together can the mission of the church
be accomplished. No church can do it alone (cf. 1
Corinthians 12:21-22).
Methodist, to name just a few—and you will find
Crossroad Instructors there.
Furthermore, Instructors span the ethnic spectrum,
with Latinos, Asians, African Americans and Anglos
of every stripe represented. In addition, indigenous
Instructors are found on all six livable continents
around the globe and include Africans, North and
South Americans, Asians, Europeans and believers in
the South Pacific.
Second, along similar lines, the church must tear down
all ethnic barriers, working toward complete racial
reconciliation. Each nation, tribe and tongue has vital
input and an important role to play in accomplishing
the Great Commission. Until we destroy all barriers
that hinder diversity, the church will never experience
the divine, explosive power it needs to fulfill its mission (cf. Acts 2:5; Revelation 5:9-10).
You see it? Unbeknownst to me, Crossroad’s success
results from God blessing the fact that, empowered by
His Spirit, CBI is serving according to His kingdom
agenda! After all, how else could the church even begin
to accomplish the mission of making disciples in the
prisons and jails?
Crossroad is succeeding due to God’s abundant grace
and mercy in allowing us to play a role in fulfilling His
kingdom agenda on earth. Instructors, we thank you
for so faithfully taking part in expanding God’s kingdom. God is blessing your ministry immensely. And
we’ve only just begun!
And then I looked at Crossroad Bible Institute. Yes,
our volunteers, staff and board are Spirit-filled, godly
women and men with whom I am so blessed to be
serving.
But there’s much more going on here than that!
First of all, the over 5,000 Crossroad volunteers involved in hands-on ministry represent every denomination imaginable. This month we honor CBI
Instructors. Name a church—Baptist, Reformed,
Lutheran, Episcopal, Roman Catholic, Pentecostal,
Mennonite, Presbyterian, Charismatic, Independent,

Those Who Bring Good News
by Stacy Ladenburger
Crossroad Bible Institute Instructors represent an array of ages, nationalities,
denominations and experiences. Yet they share a deep concern for God’s people in prison and, together, embrace CBI’s commitment to disciple these men
and women and prepare them for reentry. This month, we acknowledge the
diverse stories of those who serve with us.
Stacy serves as an
Associate Editor in
The Center for Advanced
Studies at CBI
When Eileen, an Instructor in California, heard about CBI in 1999, her
response was simple and straightforward. She thought, “I can do that! I like
to write letters.” These many years later, she reflects, “I’ve learned how much
paying attention to those who are very lonely means to them.”
Dottie, a retired teacher and principal who instructs students in all three
tiers, is quick to point out the similarities that connect her to her students:
“Walking with Jesus is important to everyone. We are all dependent upon
the grace of God in our lives.” She is grateful that she can serve from her
home and could even continue while recovering from breast cancer several
years ago.
Native Spanish-speakers and those with a specific devotion to the US
Hispanic population find a niche with Crossroad as well. One Instructor who
requested anonymity developed his passion through decades of ministry in
Bolivia with his wife. He comments, “We feel it a real privilege to serve the
Lord in this way.”
As they joyfully serve, Instructors also experience transformation. Vicky is an
Australian Instructor and volunteer. She recalls a childhood fear of escaped
prisoners like those in the books she read. “Yet now,” she explains, “I have
great love in my heart for those in the darkness of the prisons. I have learned
to love those I once feared.” A longtime Instructor in Texas, John, says of his
students, “I have been blessed to correspond with some strong, deeply faithful Christians. They have strengthened my faith. I can only imagine the
impact they are having upon those around them.”
CBI Singapore Instructor Philomena summarizes the reflections that first
prompted her involvement: “I felt that inmates should be given the chance
to know God, as many people will not associate with these marginalized
people. I asked, ‘Who then will reach out to them, if we don’t?’”

Indeed, Paul ponders the same question in Romans 10:14: “How can they
believe in the one of whom they have not heard? And how can they hear
without someone preaching to them?”
With willing hearts, over 5,000 men and women around the globe have
joined with CBI to reach out in response to this call. Instructors, as we thank
you, we echo again the words of Romans 10: “How beautiful are the feet of
those who bring good news!”

Fulfilling the Great Commission
by Karen Loyd
Instructors, this month we honor you for your faithful service!
In this busy world of endless responsibilities, the Great Commission solicits our participation in a seemingly
impossible task—that of reaching the nations with the Gospel. Yet our Father never asks us to do anything without
equipping us to answer His call.
As the Lord showers you with His grace and fills you with His power, you are more than able to disciple
incarcerated people worldwide. When your students read your heartfelt letters, they see Christ in you!
Though we greatly appreciate every Instructor, we specifically congratulate those celebrating five, ten,
fifteen and twenty or more years of serving with CBI.

I love Crossroad; it is perfect for me. I am
able to do it from home on my day off, and
I write a personal letter to each student,
and I pray for them. I look forward to it
each week, and I listen to the radio
broadcast while I am working on it.

I am so happy to be part of this institute!
This way, I can help people in prison by
teaching the Word of God.

Instructions
• Select an English or Spanish Christmas card.
• Write a greeting if you wish. CBI will personalize the card
with a student’s name.
• Sign only your first name or “A brother/sister in Christ.”
• Place the card in its blank envelope, but do not seal.
The Christmas season can be
one of the most difficult times
of the year for those in prison.
For these men and women,
alone and far from home, it
often provokes depression
rather than joy. By sending
every CBI student a card,
Crossroad's Send-A-Card
Program offers them the hope
of Christ at Christmas.
6
• Mail all cards and envelopes to CBI between now
and November 7.
Mailing guidelines
• Each card must fit into a 6 x 9 envelope.
• Do not include cards or envelopes with foil, stickers, glitter,
glue, pop-up parts or paint, and do not send homemade
layered cards.
• Do not put postage stamps on the envelopes.
• Do not send unsigned cards.
Cards that do not comply with these guidelines cannot
be used because most facilities will not accept them.

Campaign for Justice Names Executive Director
LANSING—Peter Cunningham has been named the new
executive director of the Michigan Campaign for Justice, a
nonprofit dedicated to improving the state’s failing public
defense system. Cunningham worked previously for the
Michigan House of Representatives and brings to the
Campaign his wealth of legislative experience as well fresh
enthusiasm and strong leadership.
Currently, the Campaign is educating and informing the conversation of the governor-appointed commission charged with
developing recommendations for a revised public defense
system. Crossroad Bible Institute is a member of the Campaign
for Justice Coalition, and Dr. Schuringa serves on the organization’s board of directors.
Crossroad Inmate Art Gallery Expands
GRAND RAPIDS—CBI is pleased to announce the expansion
of the Crossroad Inmate Art Gallery, located at its headquarters in Grand Rapids, Michigan. The two-year-old gallery has
been doubled in size and now holds over seventy pieces of
artwork, all of them created by CBI students. Prints of five of
the pieces are available for purchase at the gallery or through
CBI’s online store.
Crossroad hosts tours for church, school and community
groups, providing a coffee bar, an inmate art presentation, a
tour of the lesson processing center and viewing of the
expanded gallery. Contact CBI to schedule a visit for your
group or to learn more!
Restorative Justice Toolkit Now Available
GRAND RAPIDS—As Restorative Justice Week approaches,
Crossroad has once again made its free Restorative Justice
Toolkit available. Restorative Justice Week, which takes place
