The CrossWalk Story...


We dedicate our ministry first and foremost to our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. 

CrossWalk was started however due to a very special person and how she touched our lives.  Meisha Rushton, Penny's daughter,  passed away October 5, 2000, at the age of 19. 

She was in college pursuing a nursing degree.  She became sick on Sunday evening and by Wednesday she was gone.  Words cannot express how wonderful this beautiful young woman was.  Her joy was passed on to everyone she met and her future was endless. 

As a family we tried to make some sense, some reason for this untimely death.  But as many of you can attest, we too were unable to understand.  We only held on to the promises that in all things “God causes all things to work together for good to them that love the Lord".  Out of this confused, blinding state came a calling, a calling for us as a family to reach out and make a difference in our lives which in turn has touched so many others.  We never imagined that the path would be filled with so many depressing lows and such exuberant highs!  But through it all, the Lord has made "good".  We can't wait to see what He has planned next, as we've heard from a good friend.  Out of the death of our little girl came CrossWalk.  We have been able to see with our own eyes what can be done when the Lord steps in and makes "good" from what had been the ashes of this life.  Our prayer is that we can continue to further work for the Lord, His vineyard.  Amen
