About Us

The name and the logo of “Crossing the Bridges” says so much.  There are many obstacles we will encounter in life. God sent forth His Spirit to help us build bridges, and counsel us on how to best cross the bridges, so that we can live more peacefully with those brought into our lives. Crossing the Bridges prayer is to be a vessel for God, His hands, feet, ears, eyes, words, to help guide others through the struggles in life. As  Edward Grinnan, Editor-in-Chief of the “Guideposts” magazine explains, “It is our faith that bridges the gap between fear and action.”
