Helping the Dominican Republic

February 16th, 2022  A Word from Jack Eason, CUPS Executive Director:   I am humbled to think of your generosity over the last year with Crossover Cups Mission. Your faithfulness has impacted many families and change countless lives of young people on the northern coast of the Dominican republic. It’s amazing as I walk through some of the villages, I always think about what dozens of people who have sacrificially given who make ministry in life change possible for many of these children. I don’t know about you, but as I get older, I am reminded that only what is done for God will last. I’ve started to see a lot of the material possessions that I have as simply tools to advance God‘s kingdom and reach more people with his love. No doubt, you have a similar heart or you would not be making such an investment in the work that we are doing together. I was the last few years, people have asked if The Crossover Cups Mission is set up to handle Legacy Giving. Some people are inquiring as they think about leaving part of their estate after they leave this earth and go to heaven. How humbling to think that people are thinking about continuing to make an impact even after they have gone on to be with Jesus! The answer to that question is YES! We are set up to handle any kind of estate giving that you or your family might like to give to enable more children to continue to be transformed and hear about the love of Jesus. Continue reading below to find out how you can get involved. Again, thank you for the blessing that you have already been to your ministry and the transformation that you have already been part of.   Jack Eason The Cups Coalition     The Cups Coalition is a community of givers who are making transformation of lives in the Third World part of their lasting legacy.

Dear Crossover Cups Family, What a year it has been! Can you believe that Christmas is almost here already? We are so blessed to have the amazing team of supporters that we do. We are so thankful for each and every one of you all the time, but especially during this Christmas season! The Unexpected When I think of Christmas, I think of the unexpected. Who would have expected that the King of the World would be born in a dirty manger in a small town with no pomp and circumstance, just he, his parents, and a few animals? But, God delivered the Redeemer to us in an unexpected way.  When I think of how my life changed eleven years ago when I reconnected with my good friend, Mike Williams, I did not expect what would happen. Something great, a renewed friendship with a champion for children, and the merging of two hearts with a passion of ministry and people. The result? More families who are being impacted with the hope of Jesus and lives being transformed. When we, as The Crossover Cups Team, see the magnitude of what God has called us to do, we are sometimes overwhelmed. Until we are reminded that God again moves in unexpected ways. Every week, people like you are praying and giving gifts, many times they are unexpected. God often works in the unexpected. The last 18 months have been a challenge for all of us. And yet during this unexpected time, God is still working. As the Christmas season approaches, the prayer of our team for you is that God would do something unexpected in your heart this holiday season. I hope you are looking for it. Because oftentimes, He is in the unexpected. Thank you for your continued partnership that makes unexpected things happen every day!     -Executive Director, Jack Eason & The Crossover Cups Mission Team Our Contact Information The Crossover Cups Mission 2607 Woodruff Rd Suite E #418Simpsonville, SC 29681 877-291-6501

  What’s New in Our Dump Ministry?     How God continues to move in the Dominican Republic! With the growth of ministry in La Union Abajo and the addition of the bakery and sewing center, more impact is happening on a weekly basis in the lives of families in this Cups Village. Since La Union sits just below the dump in Sosua, most of the people that you may have seen rummaging through the garbage over the years have come from that village.     Because of the ministry of the new bakery in La Union, more of the feeding will be happening right there in the village instead of in the garbage dump. That’s good news! Our garbage dump feeding ministry continues two days a week, but the more strategic feeding and ministry is happening in the village where the people live under the direction of Samuel and Ysemene, our Cups Missionary family who leads the ministry in that area. Thank you for your continued support that makes an impact here! We Are Thankful for You! Thanksgiving is coming up, and while we are always thankful for our supporters, donors, and encouragers, we wanted to take this time to thank you for all your support and prayers throughout this year! Crossover CUPS is extremely blessed to have such the amazing group of supporters that they do. You are part of the reason that this mission can stay alive and keep doing the work for the Kingdom of Christ! Thank you for being a blessing to us, here at Crossover CUPS stateside, and in the Dominican Republic.  Our Contact Information The Crossover Cups Mission 2607 Woodruff Rd Suite E #418Simpsonville, SC 29681 877-291-6501 http://cupsmission.com
