Coffee and Tea Fellowships

 Coffee and Tea Fellowships are one of our oldest outreaches, having started just months after founding in 2009.  While we dont always host them on a regular bases, they are on of our most fun outreaches.  With fancy coffee and teas, decorative cookies and muffins, they are an event we get asked to host over and over.  We also do a smaller one on one/small group version at local tea and/or coffee shops.



The objective of our Coffee and Tea Fellowships is just that, to hang out, to encourage each other, to grow friendships, and explore ideas.  It is a fun time, relaxed, where questions can be asked, friendship solidified, and adventures plotted.  Some times they are done as full on ladies high tea, coffee shop get to gathers, or mix company tea and coffee parties, with alot of mixing and impromptu creativity.  Sometimes it is well planned gatherings, some times spur of the moment, and other lightly planned, yet each are as wonderful as the other, and many memories made! 





As this year of 2018, we are looking to start developing the Coffee and Tea Fellowship more regularly, maybe even on a monthly bases.  Be praying as we look for locations to host these, and those who we will invite.  Want to start one in your area?  Email us at clockworkcrossoutreach @ gmail.com

PS: Our first large Coffee and Tea Fellowship was held March of 2011, but our first small group on was held March of 2009.

Antioch Box Project

In the Early Church, it was understood that believers cared one for another.  Women of some means cared for Jesus and the 12 as they ministered.  Stephen the Martyr, Philip the Evangelist and 5 others were deacons whose positions were created for the care of the poor. Tabitha sewed and clothed the widows and orphans.  Lydia, who was a successful businesswoman, hosted a church in her home.  The churches of Europe and the Near East put funds together, though many of them were poor as well, to care for the believers in Jerusalem during a time of suffer.  These examples and many others, are the inspiration for the Antioch Box Project.



Our boxes include the New Believer's Box for those new to the faith, Discipleship Box for those mentoring/discipling, the Missionary Aid Box to aid missionaries with ministry and personal needs, and Jerusalem Box for the needs of the poor, widows, orphans, and suffering such as those hit by fires or floods.  Depending on who is asking for help we can either bring items for a church or an individual.


For us here at Clockwork Cross Outreach, these boxes are a way to pay forward the help we ourselves have been given in our respective ministries and outreaches.  We love to share the blessings that have been shared with us!

PS: Our first Antioch box was made in 2005.  First Box after founding Clockwork Cross Outreach was September of 2009.

What is Clockwork Cross Outreach?

For the past 8 years, while serving alongside my husband on the Navajo reservation, I have also had a small outreach called Clockwork Cross Outreach.  Having served for 8 years in ministry among the subcultures, prior to stepping into Native American ministry, my heart never really left my subculture people.  It has not been an easy road walking with two callings upon my heart, but last summer, friends began to say, "Why dont you do both?  There are many subcultures among Native Americans, and we need believers who know how to do both to help lead the way."

So while my main focus remains helping my husband in the missionary work we share together, Clockwork Cross Outreach exists to aid in this need. While the style and name reflect my own Steampunk background, this outreach is focused on reaching whomever God brings across my path who is seeking for His Truth: Native American, Subculture, all people no matter what their background is.

 As it has for the past 8 years, Clockwork Cross Outreach, will continue to host small in home Nightwatch Prayer Gatherings, Tea and Coffee Fellowships, and the Antioch Box Project.  We will also see about going to different Steampunk Conventions and Music Festivals for outreach.  We invited you to pray with us for the lost, and if interested to partner with this project.

Nightwatch/Coffee Fellowship

Today was an interesting day.  We hosted our first Coffee and Tea Fellowship which we combined with a Nightwatch Prayer Gathering.  In the future most likely will separate the two, but still have drinks available at the prayer gathering.  It was good though still, we had about 6 meet with us and agreed to continue meeting once among till college is out in 4 months.  Rob is hoping next time to have a few more guys join us, but still 5 women and 1 guy was a good start.

We had Tea, Cookies, and of coarse, Coffee. We each shared our hopes and dreams for after our time here in Flagstaff.  Then we prayed over the prayer requests and praises from our classes, plus share more personal ones that do not leave the Gathering.  It was an awesome way to get to know eachother better, and we trust as the years go on for there to be many more.

Gears, Steam, Clockwork, and Crosses

Some of us see the world through different eyes, some of us express ourselves through different ways, and some of us just feel born out of time.  For us, the world of subcultures is not some teenage rebellion, but just an outward expression of our inter being.  Yet, for many inside the church, those who dwell within the subcultures are as foreign as someone who lives overseas.  Because of this, some of us who are believers and are also of the subcultures desire to reach out to our fellow subculture dwellers.

Because of this, we have created Clockwork Cross Outreach, a gathering of like-minded souls reaching out to those around us with the truth of the Gospel of Jesus.   Yes, we will be working out in the Desert Southwest, and our main focus is Native Youth and Young Adults, but many of them are also within the subcultures: Steampunks, Goths, Punks, Emos, Metalheads, Skaters, and many more.  We are a branch of Native Youth Discipleship Ministry, and will be operating under their covering.  Let's see where this takes us!
