Jodi and Dean Cross met while with Youth with a Mission, and spent more than 20 years in youth and pastoral ministries, first in Connecticut, and more recently in North Carolina. They joined to team in 2009 along with their three daughters, René (17), Jessi (15) and Nicole (12). Their fourth child, Ben (19), lives in North Carolina.
With their background in youth ministry, it was a nature fit to come to LifeHouse. Their work is an opportunity to continue helping individuals to find purpose in God, to experience life-changing encounters with Him. Jodi and Dean witness to the importance of becoming directly involved in the lives of young women facing critical issues. They recognize that it is not enough to only advocate choosing life; as Christians, they feel called to get “into the trenches,” to walk alongside those making the choice.
