MISSION OF THE WEEK: BILLY AND DAWN RAY
We thank God for Rays ministry to Kurdish refugees who have been displaced by terrorist activities. We pray for the work of “The Refuge Initiative” a community center that is being utilized for the Gospel “for such a time as this.” Find out more about The Refuge Initiative on Facebook.

MISSIONS WEEK: MEAL WITH A MISSION
Every year Crosspoint sets aside a week to focus on our mission efforts locally and globally. We call that Mission Week! While our students are out transforming our community through Mission Northwest, we (adults) have an opportunity to get more informed, excited, and engaged in missions through our "Meal with A Mission Event." Every campus has an opportunity to get involved.  Don’t miss it! If you’ve ever been to one of our mission banquets in the past - you know to come prepared to be inspired. If you’ve never been at all - expect a great time, eating great (free) food, with people doing great things.

"Meal with a Mission" Is the key event to our mission week this year. Every campus has an opportunity to come to a free meal (no RSVP needed) and get inspired and engaged in missions. This year our partners at Hope61 will be telling us a little about what they do to prevent human trafficking using One Mission Society’s global network of missionary workers (including two Crosspoint missionaries who will be here sharing their experiences from the field). They will also help us see ways we can be engaged in advocacy and prevention right here in our own backyard!

• North Crestview: Sunday, June 23 at 12:05 a.m. - Enjoy a free lunch
• South Crestview: June 23 at 5:00 p.m. - Get inspired at a free dinner
• Niceville:  Saturday, June 29 after Saturday night worship, upstairs in the Community Life Center - Have coffee and conversation with Hope61.
  Sunday, June 30 at 9:30 or 11:00 or 12:15 a.m., in the Fellowship Hall- Enjoy a breakfast or lunch event by yourself, with your family, or with your life group.
• Bluewater Bay: Please join us on the Niceville Campus at one of the designated times for (free) coffee, breakfast or lunch.

Mission Northwest and Hope61: Our adults are not the only ones who get to engage with the Hope61 team. Each day of Mission Northwest, we will send a team of students to a Meal with a Mission event before they head to their worksite. We know that our students are very passionate about this issue, and we know that giving them tools to identify and avoid predatory relationships can make a real difference in their lives!

Human Trafficking, What To Expect: “Human trafficking” is sometimes used interchangeably with “Modern-Day Slavery.” It is a term that describes all of the ways that people end up in oppressive labor situations that they don’t have the power to escape. It is sometimes seen in labor markets, military campaigns, prostitution and sex work, drug trafficking, and a variety of other black market activities. Hope61 uses One Mission Society’s massive network of missionaries to help identify people vulnerable to trafficking, and help create systems and supports that prevent people from being trapped in the ‘slave market.’

This may feel like a distant problem, but do a few minutes of research and you’ll learn that the I-10 corridor is one of the hot spots for trafficking in the United States. We have at least one confirmed case of attempted human trafficking among our Crosspoint family in this last year. Hope61 will present ways that they are engaged globally, but also tools and knowledge we need to engage in the issue locally.

We first met for prayer in May 2006 where God faithfully protected this area from all hurricanes. We are meeting once again, to ask God to protect the Gulf Coast.
