I love our Cross Point Serving Saturday’s. There is no doubt in my mind that it’s Cross Point at her best. So proud of the over 700 volunteers at our 3 campuses who served our city well this past Saturday! One of my favorite stories came from a group of women who served at Mending Hearts. Mending Hearts is a home which helps women who are suffering due to alcohol or drug addiction. They seek to provide an opportunity ...

If you’re in the Nashville area you can still buy tickets HERE for tonight’s concert. If not, join us online live RIGHT HERE for an unforgettable concert. It’s going to be fun to partner together to make a difference in the lives of these precious children in Haiti. You guys know how much I believe in Compassion and what they’re doing around the world. Brandi and I have sponsored a compassion child fo...

I’m so excited this Saturday is “Serving Saturday” at all of our Cross Point campuses. I heard from Ryan yesterday that over 700 Cross Pointers are currently signed up. Serving Saturday is a missional opportunity we offer once a quarter where we send out a massive group to serve in our local communities. There are people who are serving our city in different capacities daily, but there is something about this ch...

There are some 11 million abandoned kids roaming the streets of India.  I’ve been aware of that statistic for a while but nothing prepares you for meeting it face to face. This is Puja Ghosh who is just five years old. I had the amazing opportunity to spend some time with her over the past few days and I can confirm that smile is just as beautiful in person. She lives with a family here in the Khalpar slum who found her i...

Got a call from a buddy right before my trip who in essence said, “Pete why are you going to India right now? You need to be promoting Book #1 and I know your writing book #2. You guys are having record settings weekends at Cross Point, you’re getting ready to open a 4th campus and you’ve got a new teaching series you need to work on. Couldn’t you have found a less busy time?” He’s got a great heart but I thin...

Laughter may not fix everything, but it sure is a good place to start. They had never heard of Red Rover in the Khalpar slum until yesterday. What’s your favorite childhood game? Mine? Freeze Tag. Red Rover from Pete Wilson on Vimeo. ...

Let me introduce you to Bishal Barik. This kid grabbed my heart from the moment I met him. Maybe it’s because he’s 8 like my oldest or maybe it’s his contagious smile, but we instantly hit it off. Bishal is a student at the school we’ve started in the Khalpar slum. His mother abandoned him the day he was born and another family took him in. There were complications with his birth which have left Bishal battling issues ...

Our first day in Kolkata was a tough one. After 30 hours of travel we finally arrived, grabbed a quick shower and headed out to the slum we’ll be working in the rest of our short visit. The Khalpar slum is currently the focus for Cries of Love. This slum is the home for some 500 people. While most of the men in this community work as rickshaw pullers the women serve as maid servants. While the adults are off working during the day this leav...

Last year I was privileged to travel with Compassion International to India. I could talk about that trip for hours but there were two things I walked away with. 1. Compassion is doing an amazing work. Our family’s compassion child is in India (Sammy) and we’ll continue to support kids through compassion. I love and believe in the work they’re doing around the world. If you’re interested in sponsoring a child in India jus...

Hey Cross Point, First of all I want to thank you guys for being so generous with your giving to Samaritans Purse, who has been doing great work in Haiti. I told you guys on Sunday we would let you know as soon as we figured out some next steps. We’re excited to announce we’re now partnering with GO Ministries, who we’ve been working with the past 7 years in the Dominican Republic. Currently they’re focusing their efforts ...
