My name is T.K. Thornton Jr having lived (actually i was dying) the majority of my life according to my own will, in violation of God and His Holy commandments and now through the power of Gods Grace I truly live under his rule, under his Holy word, washed in the blood of Christ...because of this I am drawn to all things and all people of like mind. My heart rejoices in the presence of others who's soul desire is to live for God. To worship God, to work for, to speak of, to follow Christ our one true King. This is why I LOVE the Mission at the Cross not because of what they do for me...but because of what they do for God. The Mission at the Cross is in my opinion is the Gospel of Christ in action! If you are of like mind and you want to contribute to the Kingdom of God then you will be blessed by any time, money, work, even prayer given to the Mission at the Cross. Jesus said to render unto Caesar what is Caesar's and Give to God what is Gods. When know that we are Gods because we are created in His Image. This is what the Mission at the Cross does the give back to God what is Gods or i should say they help the lost find there way back to God. I am so thankful to the men and women who work and serve at the Mission at the Cross. But most of all I am exceedingly thankful to the men who live at the Mission at the Cross.
Mission At The Cross in Laurel, Mississippi is an incredible Christian ministry dedicated to helping men of addiction recover from the addiction they are facing and hopefully come to know Christ in the process. The Mission operates on donations from individuals, churches, businesses and individuals and doesn't charge the men who are residents anything for the services they receive. The six month residential program provides men a safe place to reside, three meals a day, clothing, vocational training and Christian guidance at no charge to the residents. Over 700 men have called Mission At The Cross "home" at some point in their lives since the Mission opened in December of 2008. This ministry is changing lives and helping men beat addictions! Please consider helping Mission At The Cross with your financial contribution or a donation of goods and services when you are making your donation decisions. It's a life saving ministry!
My name is Dalton Shows, I am twenty years old, and I have been at Mission at the Cross for eight months. When I came to the mission I had no money, no food, my family had given up on me, and I was at rock bottom because of my drug addiction. While I went through the program, God began to deal with my heart and I accepted Jesus into to my life! Through the power of God and the stability and opportunity that the mission has to offer, I have peace and restoration with my family, a joy and peace that cannot be described and hope for the future of my life. All of my needs: food,water,clothes,hygiene,etc., have been have provided for during my eight months, and nothing asked in return except to keep moving forward and to always keep God first. After the first six months, I was given an apartment on the third floor of the mission and they gave me job working for Headrick's T-Shirt Shop. I thank God for Mission at the Cross and for Mr. Richard and Mrs. Gina Headrick , the founders of Mission at the Cross, for their love and obedience to God's will. Because of God and them and many others who pour their hearts and lives into guys like me, I have hope and future!
This is My husbands second time in the mission . Our whole family was saved and baptised together this year in march and God has just blessed us all more than we ever dreamed possible. Mission at the cross is a special place because its the Lords and he has placed (Richard&Gina Headrick Mike&lexie Shirley RogerTucker) there for HIS Will HIS purpose. They glorify HIM where credit is due. That is why its successful and mens lives have changed Jesus is the only way.
I have been sober for 26 years and look to help others everywhere I can. A friend introduced me to Hellfighters Motorcycle Ministry and Mission at the Cross. I visited the shop then the mission at the cross and I am so impressed.I have heard several of the men's life story's and witnessed the life changing work that God is doing. I could not wait to join and be a part of this ministry and hope to help start a Mission at the Cross where I live.
GOD IS SO GOOD
I was skeptical when we we toured the mission at the cross. "How could a motorcycle shop and apartments help heal addicts?"
What I saw and felt when I met the young man who shared some of his story was equal parts uplifting and heart wrenching. God heals, but this is a safe place to work, to cleanse, feed and rest the body while the soul is is healed and the mind cleared. When these young men leave they know a trade, they know a better life and best- they know God. The lives ahead of them is so wonderful there could be no question of turning back.
Mission at the cross is the real deal.
I have been working with this Mission for many years. The Mission has made & continues to make a difference in so many lives. I am honored to be a part of such a great ministry. I look forward to many many more years! God Bless them all
The Mission At The Cross has been a real benefit to our local community from the day its doors opened. Hundreds of men have been helped in beginning a new life and contributing back to the community and many have regained what they had lost, such as self respect and even their families. Most importantly, the Mission presents hope from a Biblical perspective and many find God and His plan for them. I always encourage everyone I can to go by the Mission and meet the men and especially the Director, Mike Shirley and House Leader Roger Tucker. These leaders really care about the ones who come through the doors and go the second mile in presenting Jesus to them. God bless The Mission At The Cross!
Hello,
My name is Harley Mercier and I have been attending the morning devotionals with the men that are living at the Mission at the Cross for almost a year. I have not only met some outstanding men that have given their life to Jesus, but I have developed a new family at the Mission. God really has blessed the Mission and men that have gone through the program. Please pray for the leaders and men that are living in the Mission.
Hello , my name is David Edwards , and I'd like to start by saying that my testimony can be read on the Mission at the Cross web site ! Mission at the Cross is most definitely a place that can help any man , young or old , come in out of the storms of life and be in a stable environment to be able to get their head , heart , and soul cleaned and cleared of all the junk , mess , and filth that's out in the world . It's a faith based mission , and you will hear the word of God spoken and taught there on a daily basis ! If you're in need of a place to help you with an addiction , or circumstances in life have caused you to be homeless , Mission at the Cross can help you ! But you have to have a willingness to change ! I myself stayed there for nearly three (3) years , and my life has been a thousand percent better because of it ! No , the Mission didn't save my life , but it sure was instrumental in helping me become the person I am today ! God used the Mission , and those that run it , to give me the time and resources necessary to get clean and sober , and to grow into the Christian man I am today ! From the moment I walked into the place on September 12th , 2011 I just knew God had His hand on that place ! And to experience the growth of the place and certain events there , there's no way anybody could ever convince me other wise , but God is most definitely a huge part of Mission at the Cross in Laurel , Mississippi ! It's truly a wonderful thing to have had a place to go to in my darkest hours , and without the constant and continuous support from area churches and individuals in the community , there never would be a place such as Mission at the Cross ! So , if you haven't already helped out in some way by supporting the mission , then I strongly encourage you to do so ! The mission couldn't function without the support it receives ! I have remained , and will always remain greatful to those who give and have given !
