Captain Jim will be at Crossroads Community Center this Wed 10th, Philadelphia 3:30 to 5:30.  He will have FUN reconnecting with the kids and helping support the AMAZING work there.

Crossroads Community Center is a Christian organization located in the Fairhill section of North Philadelphia. It is sponsored by the Eastern District Conference of the MCUSA and other supporting AMEC Churches. It has close ties to Second Mennonite Church at Franklin Street and Indiana Avenue.

Crossroads began in 1965 as an orientation center for new residents in this area. Shortly afterwards, it became a meeting place for teenagers as well. Since then, Crossroads has added other programs and services for a wide variety of people in their neighborhood.

BIO-

James and his wife, Bryony, and kids, Maren, Benjamin & Oliver,  are no strangers to ministry. Since being with Youth With A Mission (YWAM) in ’95, James has invested his life in reaching kids for Christ through camps and programs; be it with Muslims in England, or with inner-city youth of Atlanta, Georgia. This passion for kids and Christ continues here at Camp, as James seeks to grow generational leaders. You might be surprised to know that James is interested in DJ’ing and mixing music, eating Tacos al pastor at Zocalo Taqueria, and wants to visit 50 more countries before ‘kicking the bucket’.  James’ favorite location at Men-O-Lan is the campfire pit, praying for changed lives, and remembering the truth of Matthew 11.28-30.  Come out and meet him or give him a call- His passion for Christ is contagious!
