Crossroad NETWORK NEWS INSIDE FALL 2011 www.cbi.fm Instructor Appreciation Art Gallery Expands 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. Continued on page 2 Continued from page 1 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, Dr. Schuringa serves as the President of Crossroad Bible Institute Instructors, remind your students that CBI will help them with reentry! our y k s ea Pleas in the US h churc a special e is to tak for CBI th ng offeri giving. s T hank The Crossroad Reentry Program helps returning citizens locate housing, employment and a church home in the area of their release.

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?’” CBI MÉxico North Instructor CBI Australia Instructor Vicky D. and her husband Tony, also a volunteer Sharon R., an Instructor and Instructor Coordinator in Florida 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!” 3 CBI Nicaragua Instructors 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. 27 years Judy deVries Gert Rotman Maxine Verburg 26 years Doris Koetsier 25 years Delores DeKok 23 years Lois Duyser Hermina Nyhof Judy VanderArk 22 years John Workman 21 years Elaine Boone Ann Bouma 20 years Harry Stone Edwin VanEk Terry VerHage 15 years La Vonne Apol Norene Aukeman Clare Baar Roger Bosch Harvard Brouwer Merrie Brouwer Ethel Brunger Albert Bytwork Bonnie DeJong Ellie DeVries Tom Diephouse Gertrude Driesenga Morrie Driesenga Jeanette Dyk Dave Evertsberg Carol Honderd Ralph Honderd Fran Huisman Fred Hulst Minnie Ipema Ken Klaasen Ellen Klompien Donald Koning Tracy Lobbezoo Michael Meyers Roger Otten Dorothy Rhone Shirley Snoeyink Harold Soper Bob Theule Marcia Theule George Visser Bill Weber 10 years Lois Aalderks Chris Adams Judith Andersen Sharon P.

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.
