Wayside Cross Ministries | Church Friends

We would like to take a moment to recognize and acknowledge all the Churches and religious organizations without whom; our six ministry divisions would be possible. In more ways then we can count, you are instrumental in our leadership, funding, and direction.

You fill vital roles on our board and leadership committees. Line our halls with ready and able volunteers in every facet of our ministry.

More over, you inspire your congregations throughout the year to connect, sending busloads of adults and youth group volunteers to clean, paint, garden, cook, and clean at our 3 area shelters. Or read books and tutor at-risk youth after school and teach them how to play baseball in our summer league.

You fill tables with people interested in learning about each of the six ministry’s at the Friendship Dinners or host donation drives for our thrift stores.

Thanks to you, each of our residents in recovery has a mentor while they are here to answer any question a recovering individual could ever have. You challenge them. You speak an encouraging word when they need it most, and let them know when they are ready, there is church waiting to welcome them in.

You fill our ministry with hope by letting each resident know when they graduate, they can be planted with you, nurtured and supported as they continue their spiritual walk. Together, we pray each one continues to bear much fruit for the kingdom. All it takes is a little energy and compassion. Below is a quick video example of how some churches and mission teams are changing lives for the homeless, addicted and abused in the greater Chicago area.

Thank you for helping to make all this possible!
