YOUTH DYNAMICS:  JADE BARTH
Jade is another missionary who grew up spiritually at Grace Harvest Church (see Tamara Depew in Mexico). In 1999 she connected with the director Moses Lake Youth Dynamics (then Columbia Basin YD), and within a short time she was raising support and coming on staff. Currently Jade is the Communications Assistant at YD in Burlington, WA. Stay tuned for more information as we update this page.

CROSSROADS RESOURCE CENTER
Whether you're 14 or 40 years old, and unplanned pregnancy can be a scary thing for both the mom and the dad. If you're rejected by somebody because of it, the circumstances become that much scarier. Crossroads Resource Center exists to help people with unplanned pregnancies respond in healthy ways to the news. They offer a wide variety of services, from pregnancy testing to an ultrasound; help getting prenatal and postnatal care; they even offer parenting lessons. In addition, for those who have had an abortion and are now feeling its painful effects to their heart, Crossroads offers counseling and help. Most importantly, they offer all this along with the hope of Christ.

SERVE MOSES LAKE
For many years, the pastor involved in the Moses Lake Ministerial Association have sensed the need for a coordinated effort in meeting the benevolent needs within our community. On a daily basis hurting and needy people "drop in" to the many churches in Moses Lake, seeking help for their various financial and physical needs. The pastors wanted to help all of them, but often, due to ignorance of what is available or ignorance of what other churches were doing - or both - people were being missed, or temporary "band-aids" were being applied, or somebody's poor choices were being encouraged unintentionally. Out of this need, Serve Moses Lake (SML) was born.

The heart and soul of SML is a team of trained and caring volunteers who carefully assess each person that enters the Serve Moses Lake office. Time is spent to gain an understanding of each persons story. After an initial assessment is done, a plan will be determined that will best meet the needs of each person. The plan could well include help from the various social agencies in town (food bank, community action, etc...). The staff and volunteers at SML will be familiar with the support these agencies can provide.

But we don’t want the assistance to end there. The goal, as we’ve said, is that people receive help from the local church. This often will mean referring people back to the church they initially visited for help. Only now, the leadership at that church will have confidence that a thorough assessment has been done. The person in need is now coming to them, voucher in hand, with a clearly defined need...and a plan to meet that need. So the church (or multiple churches) works together to meet a need, to be Jesus to that hurting and needy person. In so doing, they may be planting or watering a seed that may eventually produce the fruit of a person surrendering their life to Christ.

It is a great picture of the Body of Christ in a larger community working together to meet needs (see Matthew 25:31-46). It is a wonderful way for the “right hand” to know what the “left hand” is doing.
