In February 2021, the WAY Radio listeners in Jacksonville and in Brunswick provided the funding needed to construct a community center. The WAY Radio community center in Alto de la Jagua will provide discipleship programs, including the Boys’ Life Basketball Discipleship program. It will provide a meeting place for the 200 children in the village to learn about Jesus while being afforded the opportunity to have programs that will challenge them to avoid the traditional traps of poverty in the Dominican Republic. Too many children, without programs like ours, end up trapped in a life of abuse and exploitation. Send a gift
Our Boys’ Life Basketball Discipleship program empowers young men to become leaders in spreading the gospel in their communities.
U CAN SEE THE WORK IN PERSON! Want to see the community center as it’s being built, or plan a trip for when it’s completed? You can work with Crossover CUPS Mission and visit the mountain village that WAY Radio’s listeners and staff have adopted … Alto de la Jagua.
WHAT’S NEXT? Once the community center is running, we’ll begin planning for the trade programs that will help give children an alternative to the exploitation that so many endure. Life skills like sewing and baking help the children eventually find REAL employment, while continuing to grow in their newfound faith in Christ.
JOIN US! WAY Radio in Jacksonville and in Brunswick are excited about what the future holds for the residents of Alto de la Jagua. Together we can make a difference in the Caribbean. Join us on a visit, join us in prayer, join us in support.
January 2023 Update
A YEAR IN REVIEW WAY Radio Family Wow, what a year God has blessed us with! Can you believe that it’s already 2023? I know we are having a hard time believing it! 2022 was an amazing year for the Crossover Cups Mission. We had a total of 991 kids in Bible school! What a number! In addition to the number of kids in Bible school getting the opportunity to hear about Christ, over 1,000 people heard the Gospel! We also had a humbling number of 71 Dominican teenagers that decided to follow the call God put on their lives and help lead the summer Bible school program across 6 villages! Mission trips during the summer are some of our most fun and engaging times as a team! Together, we learn more about the Gospel, how to dive into a deeper relationship with Christ, and how to be a team player all while showing the love of Christ to our friends in the neighboring communities in the Dominican! T his past year, 211 people decided to say ‘YES’ and come on a mission trip! This year, we are hoping to have even more people decide to come with us and make the decision to have Christ impact their lives in this awesome way.

Crossover Cups Mission Day
Way Radio DR Fundraiser 2023 *PURPOSE: To provide a sustainable farm, feeding and discipleship program and missionary support for a year Due to the nature of where the Alta De La Jagua is, it’s important to provide a sustainable garden/farm for the people of the village. Your gift will help to provide chickens and eggs. This will sustain the people in the village and will also provide a source of income for them per a microbusiness. Your gift will also help provide for the feeding program and the discipleship programs. It’s important that we help provide for both the physical and spiritual needs of people. It’s hard to hear about a God that loves you when you haven’t eaten in a few days. Your gift helps to fund this for a year. To run discipleship and feeding programs, we need missionaries willing to go and invest in the village. Your gift will also help to fund those missionaries and care for their families as they serve the village of Alta De La Jagua. *Cost Check out the Crossover Cups Documentary below. Thank You for your care for the people of Alto de la Jagua.

September Update on the DR
Great things are happening in the Dominican Republic. Bible Camps have wrapped up for the summer. Praise God, we had more kids come to bible camp and more kids come to know the Lord. The discipleship program now begins. Please pray that kids will come and learn what it’s like to live a life with Jesus. Our teams that serve in the Dominican Republic love the opportunity to interact with the kids in the Mountain Village. God moves in a powerful way through those times. Your gifts of support are making the difference in the lives of people in the Mountain Village.. Thank you for your support. Would you like to know the story behind how Crossover Cups was founded in the DR? You can also check out the Cups Documentary: https://www.cupsdocumentary.com/.
August Update
August 2022Update from Our Founder Mike Williams The Moment I Knew it was a Success! This summer was another in a series of exciting success moments. This year I was able to see with my own eyes the second generation of students who have risen from poverty to become Christian leaders. Four years ago, we had 12 disciple leaders who prepared to help us lead the summer Bible Camps of 400 children. This year we had 75 student disciple leaders, and the level of quality is above and beyond with each passing year. Your partnership has made a difference. You can see for yourself on August 27 at 7pm when we livestream our new documentary. Subscribe to Youtube or Join our Facebook to get a reminder notification. It was barely eight years ago when we had that first Bible Camp with 55 kids total, and this year we pre-registered over 1000 children for programs in four different village locations and our mountain church project. God is doing great work through you. I mean it when I say that. Our partners have been the wind beneath every wing. Yes, I know it is God, but even Jesus said that the Father honored every cup of cold water given in Jesus’ name or the name of His disciples (followers). So, quiet down and take your humble bow!! I don’t know the success rate of the other missions, churches, and Christian endeavors you are supporting. But, I can tell you this one is busting at the seams with success. When many churches are closing their doors and speaking to empty rooms, your mission has completed the building of a new church and started another new church! We seek to break ground on a new church building that will seat 350 people. Let me remind you that amid so many things happening on our world scene, don’t be distracted from what is successful. Of course, we want to help those sinking ships, but never at the cost of what IS working. I encourage you to keep up your support and double down if possible. History has proven that your investments are working at this mission. On behalf of Daniel, Judith, and our entire team, I thank you for making this possible.Mike Williams PS: Let me get deep. I have worked in Evangelistic and Christian ministry for over 40 years. I have seen entire villages make public professions of faith (as seen in extensive group prayers for salvation). I know I can lead an outdoor revival tonight and encourage most of the crowd to pray my carefully worded Christian prayer. Tomorrow night a group that I would consider a cult could lead a crusade and have the same people who prayed with me pray their carefully worded prayer. Poor people will pray any prayer you suggest in hopes of waking up the following day healthy, wealthy, and in a different societal class. While I believe it all starts with a “Yes” to Jesus… please read on. Jesus told us to go and make disciples. Making disciples is time-consuming. You can’t fly in, preach and leave, and have a mission accomplished. It requires living among the people, which is why all of your Cups missionaries live in the villages they serve. My words do not undermine the teams that come for a short-term visit. They are an incredible “piece” in the puzzle of kindness. Nevertheless, true discipleship in the Christian life takes face-to-face time. The most excellent teacher of all time (guess who?) took three years with His disciples before they were ready to function successfully on their own. So, yes, in a glorious genuine report, I could tell you that we had over two hundred children raise their hands and pray out loud for first-time decisions and five hundred raise their hands for re-dedication. What matters to me is that in four years, we have gone from 12 disciple leaders (those who are helping disciple others) to 75 disciple leaders who are now helping disciple others. Success in Jesus’ name! If you want to JOIN THE STORY and keep things like this happening, click the DONATE button below to join the team.
