Joshua Fund
Joel Rosenberg
Founded and operated by Joel Rosenberg, the Joshua Fund uses an
evangelical approach to provide food and medical services to the Jewish and Arab

grafted into the covenant promises to Israel and thus share in Israel’s spiritual
blessings; the Word teaches us that God will bless those who bless Israel.

Tennessee Action Council
TAC has two mission fields both supporting the life of children in
need: “Project Life” and “Helping Hands”. Through Project Life, mobile ultrasound units demonstrate to expecting mothers how precious life is (Ps 139:13-14, “For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother’s womb. Therefore, I will praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made.”). Through Helping Hands, foster children are equipped with personal duffle bags rather than garbage bags to carry their belongings, thereby elevating their self-worth; thanks to Crosswalk support, over 5000 duffle bags were delivered this year! TAC organized two record-breaking fundraisers again this year, a golf fundraiser in Franklin for Project Life and their annual dinner/program at Old Natchez
Country Club supporting Helping Hands. (Service Opportunity).

Led by Steve Cherrico, this ministry empowers hundreds of local
middle and high school students to organize and lead Christian support groups within their own schools.

Few ministries have had such an impact: 1,500+ local students participating in weekly FP Clubs, 280 student leaders trained during the school year on how to share their hope in Christ, 204 students have made decisions for Christ…inside public schools.
