Each cross is crafted by a volunteers hand, one at a time, in our Cross The World woodshop.  Our crosses measure approximately 3 1/2″ tall x 2″ wide x 3/8″ thick, a little larger than the business card sized message tag that is attached to each of them  and they are constructed of various woods … pine, birch, cherry, oak to name a few.  No two crosses are alike; sometimes, not all the cross parts for that individual cross are the same.

Interestingly, all the wood we work with in our shop is given a second chance.  First rejected by a cabinet maker, it is recycled by us into a small cross and then freely passed on to others so it can live again.  What a beautiful visual reminder of God’s love for us and how freely He gives His love so we can all live in Him!

Each cross is accompanied with a message tag, either in English or Spanish, as shown below.

TRUST – in HIS timing

RELY – on HIS promises

WAIT – for HIS answers

REJOICE – in HIS goodness

BELIEVE – in HIS miracles

RELAX – in HIS presence

‘But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.’
