Kudos to CrossPoint!
Last fall the CrossPoint Foundation hosted the Fifth Annual CrossPoint 5K. Several key businesses from our church and community sponsored the event. The sponsorships went toward the purchase of a new refrigerator truck for a homeless ministry in the Birmingham area.
A few weeks after the race we invited Pastor Roland Walker to join us for worship. Since he, too, is a pastor, he was only able to join us for the last worship. It was during that worship hour we presented him with a check for $5000. For those of you in that particular worship that day, you recall how warm of a response Pastor Roland gave us. It was a good day for Pastor Roland, and it was a better day for us.
The very next week, Tim Gordon, a CrossPointer and the Sales Manager for Freightliner of Birmingham, contacted Pastor Roland to suggest how his company could help him secure a truck for a very good price. From there the ball started rolling, and just a few weeks ago, Pastor Roland and his ministry purchased a 20 foot refrigerator truck.
I am providing some great photos of the new truck we were able to help Pastor Roland purchase. Our contribution was enough to secure half the purchase price. The photo of Pastor Roland opening the back door of the truck was made because he wanted people to see what he would be doing with the vehicle—opening the door and feeding the homeless.
