Podcast with Walmart’s Emergency Management Department Leader
On this week’s podcast, I was privileged to interview Jason Jackson, leader of Walmart’s Emergency Management Department. This department is responsible for caring for the Associates, customers, and communities when local, national, and worldwide disasters occur. Jason’s heart for the Lord and care for individuals and communities during crisis is apparent. If you have not yet had the opportunity to listen, I know you will want to hear from him.
New Budget Begins October 1
Two weeks ago, our 2017-18 Ministry Budget was adopted. Cross Church, our budget for the coming year is $20 million. It is a God-sized goal, and we call out to each member of our church to continue in our historic commitment on the first Sunday of our fiscal year by honoring the Lord with the first tenth of your weekly income, and even increasing your giving. Through the years, Jeana and I have increased our giving percentage, and we have been amazed at how God has increased our faith through this simple action. Join us in supporting the work of the Lord through our Ministry Budget.
See you Sunday,

This Week at Cross Church | People Change the World
2017-2018 Ministry Budget is Adopted
This past Sunday, Cross Church adopted our 2017-2018 Ministry Budget of $20 million. On Sunday, October 1, the beginning of our new fiscal year, we call out to each member of our church to continue in our historic commitment on the first day of our new budget year:
- Honor the Lord by giving the first tenth of your weekly income to the Lord through his local church.
- Join Jeana and me, as we have for many years, in increasing your giving through our Ministry Budget on this day.
Jeana and I stand amazed at the way God has increased our giving percentage over the years. As we look back, we see how He has increased our faith and we are thankful for His powerful provision in our lives. Join us.
