From the Pastor's Desk
I witnessed a horrifying scene this morning: a two-year-old child running toward a busy road. I was too far away to help, but fortunately, another driver stopped their car in time to intercept the child. We called the police because we did not know who the child’s parents were. Eventually, a confused parent who had been asleep arrived and claimed their child. The parent thanked us, but I was not sure they understood the gravity of the situation. It’s easy to pass judgment, but haven’t we all been guilty of being asleep—not only as parents, but also as spouses, employees, students, etc? The same question applies to our spiritual lives. Jesus warns us to stay awake! Why else would he warn us if we were not prone to spiritual sleepiness? In Mark 13:36-37, he says: “If he comes suddenly, do not let him find you sleeping. What I say to you, I say to everyone: ‘Watch!’ ” How do you know if you’re spiritually asleep? There is a long list of signs, but I think we understand spiritual slumber best when we understand what it means to be spiritually awake. Being awake means approaching Christ with a posture of obedience through daily prayer, reading God’s Word, and sharing our faith. It means expecting and watching for His return and staying alert to the devil’s schemes. It also means recognizing our tendency toward complacency and combating it with daily, holy surrender. In the words of Jesus in Luke 9:23: “…If anyone would come after me, he must deny himself and take up his cross daily and follow me.” So it’s time to wake up church! Ephesians 5:14 “…Wake up, O sleeper, rise from the dead, and Christ will shine on you.” Thanks for taking the time to read. Love you all! —PJ

From the Pastor's Desk
Last night something really beautiful happened: A church, a national office and an elementary school celebrated the countries and cultures that make up our big, wide world. There were 250+ people in attendance, but it was the small relational moments that sealed the beauty of the event. For lot of people, it was a night of free treats, food and fun. For some though, deeper relationships were forged, new perceptions of Christians and church were cultivated, and a few even want to learn more about Jesus. Grateful for partnerships that seek the wellbeing of our community. The National Office team came to serve with us, and serve well! And grateful for you! Thank you for praying for this event, supporting it through your candy donations and volunteer hours, and taking time to invest in the school and our neighbors. Pray with me that this continues to fan the flame of Gospel advance in Reynoldsburg. Talk soon! -David

What Our Students Learn
English As A Second Language (ESL) classes are more than just boring grammar and spelling. These past few weeks, two of our teachers, Lauren and Donna, helped our students recognize different vowel sounds. Those different sounds lets them recognize different words and say those words correctly. Many English words can sound like each other, especially to a new English learner. “That” and “Hat” can be difficult to understand when we Americans slur our words. Plus, we talked about words that sound alike but mean very different things. Think about the words to, two, and too. Try “ate” and “eight.” The list goes on. We also have to help our students understand different dialects. Columbus residents come from all over the nation and the world. There are many different ways you can hear a sentence. For example, “Fish in the creek,” can become “Feesh in the crick.” It’s all where you come from. It took me (Mike) years to stop saying “worsh” instead of wash. Miguelina helps our students with their questions. She is a good encourager. Last Monday she helped our students understand luck, lucky, and some business terms. She helps them make their questions. Our other staff can then answer the right question. And our students bring questions about what they hear at work or in the store. How would you describe what “pretty good” means and “The boss wants me to keep him in the loop.” We have 2 levels of English classes, Beginner and More Advanced. We use a conversation style way of teaching. That helps our students learn English for their jobs, shopping at stores, and getting around Columbus. In Part 2 next week, we’ll share what this can mean for all of us. Our classes meet on Monday at 7:00 PM to 8:30 PM at the Lawson House. If you know someone who could benefit from learning English, they can text Mike Brue at 740-398-7835.

Short-term missions in 2027
Missions is a part of our DNA at The Cross Walk Church. We belong to a global movement called The Christian and Missionary Alliance, intent on bringing all of Jesus to all the world—and it will take all of us! In 2027, our church has the opportunity to send people to two cross-cultural locations in the U.S. NEW YORK CITY, NY Every summer, Envision NYC hosts its “culture camp”, where high school students connect with unreached people groups and serve in the city. We are planning to send a small group of students to join this week-long cross-cultural experience this Summer 2027. Over the years, we’ve seen our youth sense a call to ministry and missions, and this year we are providing a tangible step to jump in and experience God’s heart for all peoples. We will be working with our students to raise these funds ($700/person) and could use your help in financial support and prayer. Would you pray... ...that God would raise up a group of students to go ...that God would provide the funds necessary and remove obstacles to students obeying his call ...for the peoples of the world without access to the Good News of Jesus ...for the unreached peoples within the United States and for opportunities for the Church to share this Good News If you know of a student who might want to go, or if you are interested in sponsoring a student, please contact us and let us know!Contact Us CLEVELAND, OH Once one of the great industrial steel towns of the Midwest, the city of Cleveland has experienced devastating change over the last five decades. Though impacted by a significant population decrease and a struggling educational system, the city has since entered a cultural renaissance of sorts. There is a growing conviction that the Lord is moving in powerful ways in the region. Opportunities are opening amid a tough urban environment, a rapidly developing refugee population, and through the collaborative efforts of kingdom-minded churches and organizations. Cross Walk is planning to send a group of adults for a weekend-long trip to serve with Envision Cleveland this Fall of 2027. The trip will cost roughly $300/person, with opportunities to fundraise. Would you pray... ...and ask if God is calling you to join this trip ...for God to raise up others in our church to go, especially those who would be going for the first time ...for Envision Cleveland and their ongoing ministries to the under resourced and unreached people of their city ...for God to go before us and appoint the opportunities we will have to serve on this trip next year If you are interested in joining us on this trip, or at least curious to stay tuned as the details come together, please contact us!Contact Us We are committed to keep sending and pursuing short-term cross-cultural opportunities for our church. Followers of Jesus are commissioned to leave their comfort zones and join in God’s mission. We invite you to stay tuned and see how God leads! ~ Your CWC Missions Committee
