Help Us Meet Our Goal

We have discovered a wonderful opportunity to enhance our funding at the camp and share a keepsake ornament with you. This would make a wonderful prayer reminder for the Camp as you place this on your tree each year.
(This is a mock of the ornament - the blue feathers will be brown on the original)
To complete the task that God has set before us, we need your continued prayers and support to get Camp Crossway operating and functional by Spring 2013. In August, we set out with a goal to find 700 individuals at $100/yr who would become a sponsor to help advance God’s Kingdom work at Camp Crossway. As of this date, we have 50 committed sponsorships. We truly appreciate all those who have partnered with us thus far and, to show our appreciation, we will be sending you the keepsake ornament in the mail soon.

If you haven't made your yearly contribution yet, we have simplified the process because we understand how busy people are today. We have set up a secure way for you to give your contribution on line. At the bottom of this post, you will find a"Donate" button. When you click the button, it will allow you to input your information. All contributors who make their yearly contribution by December 7 will receive the keepsake Christmas Ornament.

If you would like to share this ornament with family and friends, you can do so for $12 (shipping included). Not everyone who has shown an interest in Camp Crossway is on our email list. Please share this information with your church, friends, and family so they may have the option to use the new on line system. If you had rather pay by personal check to be received by December 7, make payable to Camp Crossway, Inc. This will be a legal tax deduction. You will be provided a receipt thru Pay Pal or by mail.
Thank you, again, for partnering in the ministry with Camp Crossway, Inc.

“I believe it will truly be a light to all people both near and far who pass your way.”


From April through July 6th, we had 127 mission workers at the camp plus twelve that worked from Otoe Baptist Church.  Due to their efforts, the camp is really shaping up and the Ark is almost completed.  Sheet rock has been hung, decks built, plumbing completed, electrical installed, walls painted, dorm rooms completed, ceilings installed, and kitchen supplies and equipment cleaned.  On the grounds a low ropes course was built, a light house assembled, a zip line has been built, some fencing was done, and much needed clean-up by removing trees, weed eating, etc.  

Yearly sponsor pledges are beginning to come in. Seven hundred individual sponsors at $100 a year are needed for the camp to become fully operational by Spring 2013. If you or your church are interested in becoming a sponsor send, us an e-mail and we will forward the information on to you.

Since the challenge to “Build an Ark” began in May, much has been completed because of the hard work and contributions from many of you. The garage and office has been completed, a full outdoor basketball court has been built, more land has been cleared, insulation has been added to the bunk house, and the Ark building is now under roof with the interior stud walls in place. The first phase of plumbing has been completed and work on the deck has begun. The Ark is now ready for wiring and insulation.
