Part 3 - Line 4a
CONNECTION AND CAPACITY BUILDING: IN THE PAST FISCAL YEAR, DESPITE THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC, OUR STAFF WAS ABLE TO TRAVEL AROUND THE NATION AND EVEN INTERNATIONALLY TO GUATEMALA AND MEXICO. WE SPOKE TO PASTORS ABOUT THE OPPORTUNITY TO LAUNCH AND LEAD CROSSROADS KIDS CLUBS IN THEIR LOCAL COMMUNITIES. EVEN IN THE PANDEMIC, EIGHT NEW CLUBS LAUNCHED. ADDITIONALLY, BEFORE THE END OF THE FISCAL YEAR, WE RECEIVED APPLICATIONS FOR 20+ NEW CLUBS IN THE FALL OF 2021.
PROGRAM AND CURRICULUM DEVELOPMENT: WE DEVELOPED A NEW APPROACH TO CURRICULUM. WHILE THERE IS A THEME FOR THE ENTIRE YEAR (DISCOVERING GOD'S TREASURE) THE YEAR IS ORGANIZED INTO FIVE, FIVE-WEEK "QUESTS." FOR FIVE WEEKS STRAIGHT, CHILDREN SEEK TO DISCOVER MORE ABOUT THE LORD BY INVESTIGATING ONE STORY FROM THE BIBLE. ADDITIONALLY, THE NEW CURRICULUM INCORPORATES TEACHING THE CHILDREN SPIRITUAL DISCIPLINES SUCH AS PRAYER, MEDITATION, SERVICE AND WORSHIP. THE CURRICULUM WAS CREATED BY A TEAM OF VOLUNTEERS AND WRITTEN BY CROSSROADS STAFF. ONCE AGAIN, IT WILL BE AVAILABLE IN BOTH ENGLISH AND SPANISH.
COACHING AND TRAINING OF LEADERS: CROSSROADS CONTINUED TO DEVELOP RESOURCES AND TRAINING FOR NEW AND EXISTING LEADERS. WE CREATED A VIRTUAL AND IN-PERSON FALL CONFERENCE FOR EXISTING LEADERS AND HOSTED AN EQUIPPING RETREAT IN AUGUST OF 2020. DURING THIS YEAR, WE EMPHASIZED ONE-ON-ONE SUPPORT AND BUILDING RELATIONSHIPS WITH OUR LEADERS BECAUSE EACH CLUB SITUATION WAS UNIQUE. WE ALSO DISCOVERED VALUE IN BRINGING LEADERS FROM DIFFERENT CLUBS TOGETHER TO PRAY AND PLAN. WE ARE PIVOTING TOWARD COHORT- BASED COACHING FOR LEADERS POST-COVID BECAUSE OF HOW VALUABLE IT WAS TO BRING LEADERS TOGETHER WITH EACH OTHER.
