Crossroads is planning a mission trip for July 2023. It’s been a few years since we’ve been able to take a trip (thanks COVID). We’re planning on a trip to Indianapolis for Group Mission Trip’s Week of Hope with the youth of Joy! Lutheran in Gurnee.
Indianapolis is famous around the world for fast cars and the Indianapolis Motor Speedway, but the city has a lot more to offer visitors including being the state capital of Indiana home to the Indianapolis Museum of Art which unveiled the largest contemporary art park in the country, and the legendary Hinkle Fieldhouse, site of the 1954 “Milan Miracle” that inspired the basketball film Hoosiers.
The city is also an increasingly diverse place, with 40,000 foreign-born individuals moving to Indianapolis since 2000 - a faster pace than even Chicago. Indy is now home to growing Mexican, Chinese, Sikh, Burmese, and Nigerian communities.
Domestic violence has become a major issue in Indy. You can be a blessing to many families by supplying food, providing home repairs, or giving children a safe place to be during the day.
As you delight in the sights and activities, you’ll enjoy getting to know the people of this amazing community—and Week of Hope offers you an amazing opportunity to serve those who may have been forgotten or may just need a little hope.
A deposit of $250 payable to Holy Cross (Attention: Pastor Chris) will be required to participate.
