Our purpose
is to encourage all to make a decided effort to lift the cross of Jesus in their daily lives.  It is our goal to provide ideas and resources to help you “lift the cross” as an individual and as you gather with like-minded followers in groups.  Together we make a movement.  As we “lift” Jesus Christ and His cross work the world will be changed.
